Unfortunately, it wasn’t entirely without its rough edges. There were many court disputes and the delegates had to witness a great deal of replays. This could not be avoided and many athletes and representatives continue to express their dissatisfaction with the results to this day. But in competitions of this level these situations are inevitable.

The Russian Boxing Championship has become a real party for all lovers of this sport in our country. And most importantly, it showed that even at the national level there is an opportunity to hold events of this magnitude. The tournament determined the best athletes who should become the backbone of the national team. There was also a fly in the ointment – disputes over arbitration have not subsided so far. But when the stakes are high, it is very difficult to avoid such incidents.
