That means that Europe has not just several countries but all of the European countries ready to step into a high level”, Istvan Kovacs, IBA Secretary General commented.
“I’m really happy to have this prestigious event in Sofia. We had many bouts, we saw many really good boxers. And I’m really happy with my team who succeeded to have the event and I’m really thankful to the officials who were the part of the event. This is one of our main goals to host one elite or youth championship during the year. And we hope that we will be able to elevate the next ones.
