Pre-performance routine: “I don’t usually do the same thing. For instance, I watch videos about our freedom fighters before performing in Azerbaijan and Turkey, I watch them going into battle singing. It inspires me so much I get goosbumps. I listened to patriotic songs, we even sang them together with other boxers and got into the right mood.”
