From February 21 to March 2, the city of Sofia will host one of the most famous and oldest rings in Bulgaria - the traditional 77th Strandja International Tournament. In this competition, the men's and women's national teams of Uzbekistan will once again compete for the championship. This was reported by the Boxing Federation of Uzbekistan.
"Strandja" is not an ordinary tournament. Every fight here is a test: how strong the preparation is, how strong the spirit is, how correct the tactics are - everything is visible in this ring. Therefore, this competition is considered one of the key points of the season for many.
It is gratifying that this time our delegation is large: there are titles competing in each weight category, and the coaching staff is full. Now the main thing is to fight to the end in every match, with a correct plan and composure.
