مونٹریال, کینیڈا (جون 15, 2016) – After careful consideration, rising Groupe Yvon Michel (جم) star and double Russian Olympian, آرتر Beterbiev, will not take part in the qualifying process to earn a spot to compete in the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, برازیل.
An Olympic qualifying tournament for professional boxers will be held جولائی 3-8 in Vargas, وینزویلا, following the decision of the International Amateur Boxing Association (اے آئی بی اے) to include professionals in the Olympic tournament.
تاہم, Beterbiev (10-0, 10 کوس), who made a triumphant return to the ring after a one-year absence on June 4 at the Bell Centre in Montreal against Argentinian Ezequiel Maderna (23-3, 15 کوس), will not be there.
“After analyzing all situations, we came to the conclusion that the current situation was not favorable,” GYM صدر Yvon مائیکل explained. “The short-term goal for Artur Beterbiev is to become world champion in the pro ranks. He will be back in the ring in September.”
Currently world ranked in the top 10 of the light heavyweight division — آئی بی ایف # 2, WBC and WBA #4, ڈبلیو بی او #7 اور رنگmagazine #9 — Beterbiev has already participated in the Olympics twice: 2008 بیجنگ میں (178 پونڈ.) اور 2012 لندن میں (201 پونڈ.).
“Regardless of my boxer’s objectives, ” Beterbiev’s head trainerمارک ریمسی کہا, “I’m behind him 100-percent. تاہم, the main goal remains the conquest of a World title.”
