The Russian Women’s Boxing team again confirmed its high class, winning the medal offset at the World Cup in the Serbian city of Nish. Our athletes won four gold medals, one silver and two bronzes, providing Russia with first place in the team event.
Gold medals: unconditional superiority

- Nun Asatryan (up to 60 kg) won the representative of Kazakhstan Victoria Graffieva.
- Elena Gapesina (up to 70 kg) won Lisa Edel O’RURK from Ireland.
- Anastasia Shamonova (up to 75 kg) confidently figured out another Irish – If O’RURK.

This is an important precedent for international sports, given the situation around the participation of Russian athletes in world -class competitions.
– I have no emotions, I gave everything in the ring. I am in prostration, but I am very happy. I really wanted my coach to become a honored coach of Russia. For him, I worried more than for myself. I believed in my victory, before the final I said that I would go out for battle like the mistress of the ring. I did it. I devote this victory to my family. I want to give them big hello. To be honest, I have not talked with them for a long time. Yes, we corresponded, I wrote to my mother that everything was fine with me. But during the tournament, I tried to completely abstract from everything. And now I’ll go to call, ”Saltanate quoted Medenov“ Match TV ”.

Olympic champion and former interim WBA super featherweight champion Albert Batyrgaziev decided to take a break from his professional career.
At the beginning of July in Istanbul at the “IBA.PRO 8” tournament, Batyrgaziev lost early to the British James Dickens and lost the IBA.PRO champion and interim WBA champion titles in the second featherweight division. For the 27-year-old Russian, this was the first defeat in his professional career.
— I want to tell you honestly about my plans. Many people ask about their future career. Now I have decided to take a conscious break from my professional career. For me, boxing has been and remains a huge part of my life. Therefore, this choice is now very difficult. My whole sports life has been a race to the top: four Russian championships, an Olympic medal in Tokyo and then turning professional, where I went undefeated.
The last fight on July 2 was a turning point for me. The first defeat made me look at many things differently. I thank Allah for the trials and mercies that helped me become a better person. Since I have always felt a responsibility not only in the ring, but also before society, now is the time to become more active in projects that I have long planned, for example, supporting the development of sports infrastructure in my native regions. This doesn’t mean I’m saying goodbye to the ring. I remain an active boxer. But now all my work is outside of it. I thank everyone for their incredible support along this path: both in moments of triumph and in moments of challenge. She gives strength. I promise this new chapter will be just as honest and purposeful. I’m not saying goodbye, I’m just saying “goodbye,” Batyrgaziev wrote in the Telegram channel.
Batyrgaziev won gold in the weight category up to 57 kg at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. In the professional ring he has 12 wins and one loss.
