Albert Ghazaryan
I had many fights, but I trained for this one in a special way. I felt great responsibility, I knew that I had to win. Even when I got tired at the training, I didn’t stop because I wanted to be fully prepared.
We aimed to win the first round quickly, and I managed that at the 57th second already. I was very encouraged and happy to defeat my opponent on such a significant day.
Hayk Ghukasyan
This wasn’t the first time Armenian and Azerbaijani athletes competed against each other. Both sides had wins and defeats. However, Albert’s victory caused wide response as it coincided with the day of liberation of Shushi.
The entire revenue from that fight will be transferred to our Army. Our friends from Moscow will join us one of these days, and we’ll go to Artsakh together. We’ll buy things for soldiers guarding the borders.
