Armenian boxer’s scandalous match in Turkey (VIDEO)

NEWS.am Sport presents the match of Armenian boxer Vladimir Sarukhanyan (60 kg) against the Scottish Josh Taylor during the qualification boxing tournament in Trabzon, Turkey (Sarukhanyan wears blue uniform).

To note, in the quarter final Saurkhanyan lost by 9:17 because of biased refereeing.

The Armenian Delegation appealed against the results. However the appeal was refused.

“Vladimir Sarukhanyan did not lose in Trabzon. Our athlete even beat his opponent. Before the third round the Scottish boxer was given three points advantage. In the last round he did not make any blows but he was given nine points. We appealed against the results but there was no use. I repeat again Sarukhanyan did not lose. Moreover, Sarukhanyan would be a medal candidate during the Olympics,” the head coach of Armenia’s Boxing Team Karen Arghamanyan told NEWS.am Sport.
