YEREVAN, APRIL 5, ARMENPRESS. Armenian boxer Hovhannes Bachkov’s next professional fight will take place on April 14 at London’s York Hall.

Bachkov (4 (3KOs)-0-0) went pro in 2020 after a highly successful amateur career: he is a three-time bronze medalist of the World Boxing Championships, three-time champion of Europe and a bronze medalist of the 32nd Summer Olympics.

The Armenian boxer is now on training camp in the US.

Super lightweight Bachkov’s most recent professional bout took place in December of 2022 where he defeated Mexican Marcos Gonzalez Barraza by way of corner stoppage.

His rival for the upcoming bout is yet to be announced.

“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
