Head coach of the Ukrainian national boxing team Dmytro Sosnovsky spoke about Dmytro Lovchynsky, who will perform at the Olympics-2024 in the category over 91 kg.
"As far as I'm concerned, he's a good heavyweight. He came to me in the national team as the first heavyweight when I was still in charge of the national team, and he always made a good impression on me as a heavyweight.
Then he moved to the super heavyweight category. He won the European under-23 championship. He always beats the big ones. He's beaten a lot of big guys in his life in the ring.
He has a very good character for a heavyweight. He's very persistent in the fight itself. He's very physical, if you ask me. You've seen the anthropometry of a heavyweight - that he's half his size. But he beats them and he beats them with confidence.
The only thing is that he had an injury before the Eurogames - a misplaced injury that nobody needed. They went to play volleyball, he jumped out and hurt his ankle very badly. There was a tear, it took him a long time to heal. Why his journey was so hard," Sosnovsky said.
