Armenian boxer Arthur Abraham, who is the reining WBO Super Middleweight Champion, congratulated Greco-Roman wrestler Artur Aleksanyan (Armenia), who on Sunday was crowned world champion for the first time.   

“While all Armenians were enjoying the joy of the victory by [Armenia’s] Arsen Julfalakyan [in the 75 kg competition], the second similar opportunity was created: our fellow countryman Artur Aleksanyan became a world champion.  

“His success is extremely encouraging and compelling for others to achieve similar success in future competitions.        

“Respect, Artur! Your championship fight was a spectacular match. You are the king of wrestling! Well done,” the 34-year-old boxer’s press service disseminated this message.    

Armenia’s Artur Aleksanyan won a gold medal at the 2014 Wrestling World Championships that wrapped up in Tashkent, the capital city of Uzbekistan.

Aleksanyan defeated Oliver Hassler (Germany) by a score 8-0, and in 55 seconds, in the final of the 98 kg competition.
