Armenian boxer Karen Tonakanyan (60 kg) defeated his opponent Elian Dimitrov from Bulgaria at European Boxing Championships under way in Kharkov, Ukraine, thus making it through to the 1/4 finals of the tournament. As the Armenian National Olympic Committee told Panorama.am, Tonakanyan was meantime qualified to 2017 AIBA World Boxing Championships.

Armenian boxers Arman Darchinyan (75 kg) and Narek Manasyan (91 kg) lost their bouts at 1/8 finals of the championship yesterday.

Thus, only two Armenian representatives – Karen Tonakanyan and Hovhannes Bachkov – continue competing at European Boxing Championships.
