"It is important for me personally, as it is for the whole of Kazakhstan and the sporting world, to keep boxing as an Olympic sport and this will be a top priority of my work. I also intend to work closely with the International Olympic Committee on boxing's commitment to the Olympic values of integrity, fairness and transparency.
I am confident that my experience as a professional athlete will help to build a systematic work within World Boxing, and together we will be able to give a new impetus to the development of boxing, but there is still a lot to do".
