Javakhyan became European champion despite change of weight class

Armenia’s welterweight Hrachik Javakhyan, who won the European Boxing Championships last weekend, said that he fought five difficult bouts, but managed to win thanks to a good spirit, despite change of the weight class (from 60kg to 64kg).

“I took on the 2009 world vice champion in the final, but I was stronger,” Javakyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
