Armenia’s Narek Abgaryan wins WBC International Silver belt

Narek Abgaryan, one of the top athletes of Armenia’s national boxing team, defeated Jesús Galicia Álvarez (Mexico) after ten rounds—and with a clear advantage, and won the WBC International Silver title at a professional boxing evening in Spain.

Abgaryan, who competed in the men’s flyweight event at the 2016 Summer Olympics, turned professional in the same year, and he now has a record of ten wins; six of them coming by way of KOs.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
