Simonyan to face Jai Opetaia in Yerevan Championships next round

Though Rafayel Simonyan failed to show successful participation in the first round of the fight against the Georgian representative, he later pulled himself together and scored a final win, the boxer’s coach Gevorg Misakyan said.

Earlier, Simonyan (91 kg) secured a 19:8 victory against Georgia’s Data Kvirkvelia at 2012 AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships.

He will face off against Australia’s Tapu Jai Opetaia in the next fight.
