    What a disgrace! The Olympics will be without one of the favourite candidates for the gold medal. This is a big joke. He's the European Champ!

    At the Worlds he had an injury in his arm, at the second qualifier he was completely robbed in a hometown decision.

    Just shows that qualifying for boxing is ridiculous. The quota places for each continent is quite unfair.
