Armenian boxer Andranik Hakobyan (75kg.) became a World Cup Winner
in Moscow after defeating his Venezuelan rival Alfonso Blanco.

"The fight too hard. Our boxer has had good and strong rivals," said
the chief secretary of Armenian Boxing Federation Lyova Hovhannisyan
to Panorama.am.

"This victory has great significance for him. He has had many victories
but did not manage to gain any prize. This will give him confidence
for future victories," he said.

The new appointed President of the Boxing Federation of Armenia left
for Russia to meet the champion and accompany him to Armenia.
