over Zviad Khaduri of Georgia in the 1/8 final of the World Boxing
Championship underway in Chicago, thus proceeding to the quarterfinal
of the Championship and qualifying for Beijing 2008.
Another Armenian boxer Hrachya Javakhyan (60kg) defeated Erick Donovan
of Ireland and booked a 2008 Beijing Olympic berth.
Before that Edward Hambartsumyan (64kg) had also qualified for the
Olympic Games.

they will ensure at least bronze medals.
