The Ukrainian boxer advancing to the semifinal on a weight category of 64 kg was defeated by Azerbaijani boxer Lorenzo Sotomayor.
Petrov said he enjoyed the European Games: “Notwithstanding the result, I enjoyed participating in this competition. I improved my experience. I’ll benefit from it in my future career. In fact I’d like to win other medal. However, my plan failed. I think I participated in the European Games well. If I could not finish the competitions with medals, it means I’m one of the strongest sportsmen in my weight category”.
