I was met halfway. They are themselves concerned in holding the championship without incidents. Armenia’s squad will be located in the same base as we,” sovsport.ru quotes Director of Russian Box Federation Evgeniy Sudakov as saying. Armenian boxers David Hayrapetyan (w/k 51) and Misha Aloyan (w/k 56) will perform in the Russian team. “As agreed with Azerbaijani Box Federation and sport leadership, during the championship Armenia’s and Russia’s teams will be accommodated separately from other teams in a protected sport base in the vicinity of the city.
