The Ukrainian Evangelina Petrok is a semi-finalist of the Youth Olympic Games in boxing in the weight category up to 57 kg!
Petruk lost to Basma in the Algerian mountains after the first round, but in the next two rounds she overboxed her opponent and won by a split decision of the judges - 3:2.
Petruk's exit means at least "bronze" for Ukraine at the Youth Olympic Games. In its entire history, Ukraine has never won a medal in a women's boxing tournament.
In the semi-finals, the Ukrainian boxer will meet Aknor Tursingli, the representative of Kazakhstan. The fight will take place on Wednesday, November 11, live - on Suspilne Sport platforms.
