This day has been very successful for the Azerbaijani team at the Baku 2015 European Games. Today representatives of the Azerbaijani boxing team left onlookers without any doubts that they are the strongest team.
In an interview with Vestnik Kavkaza, Azerbaijani boxer Albert Salimov, who won gold in the weight category up to 60 kg, noted that ‘’all medals are very important. Each medal is the result of great work. The First European Games in Baku mean a lot to me and I'm very happy that I won here."
In the final match Salimov was fighting against the representative of France. "The fight was good, the first round was 'testing', as we closely looked at our skills. And then, with the help of God, everything was going to be ok.
The Azerbaijani athlete also shared the secret of his championship. "First of all, you have to train like none of your opponents can. And, of course, with the help of God. In this case, you will achieve your goal, I think. The help of God and hard work are the key features to becoming an Olympic champion," he said.
The boxer has a great future and new victories, and he is going to prepare and use new unbeatable combinations. "It is necessary to forget everything. You won. Now we need to forget about it. The next day I need to train for the new competitions. I should not relax and must keep on training. Inshallah. Now I need to have a rest, and then start again," he remarked.
