מאָנטרעאַל, קאַנאַדע (יוני 15, 2016) – After careful consideration, rising Groupe Yvon Michel (ספּאָרטזאַל) star and double Russian Olympian, אַרטור בעטערביעוו, will not take part in the qualifying process to earn a spot to compete in the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
An Olympic qualifying tournament for professional boxers will be held יולי 3-8 in Vargas, ווענעזועלאַ, following the decision of the International Amateur Boxing Association (אַיבאַ) to include professionals in the Olympic tournament.
אָבער, בעטערביעוו (10-0, 10 קאָס), 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 קאָס), will not be there.
“After analyzing all situations, we came to the conclusion that the current situation was not favorable,” ספּאָרטזאַל פּרעזידענט יוואָן מיטשעל 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 — יבף # 2, WBC and WBA #4, וובאָ #7 און די רינגmagazine #9 — Beterbiev has already participated in the Olympics twice: 2008 אין בעידזשינג (178 לבס.) און 2012 אין לאָנדאָן (201 לבס.).
“Regardless of my boxer’s objectives, ” Beterbiev’s head trainerמאַרק ראַמזי האט, “I’m behind him 100-percent. אָבער, the main goal remains the conquest of a World title.”
