Azerbaijani boxer Nijat Huseynov has entered the next bout within the framework of the I World Olympic Qualification Tournament in Busto Arsizio, Italy.

The two-time European champion in the weight category up to 51 kg in 1/8 finals won a convincing victory over the representative of Armenia Rudolf Garboyan - 5:0 (30:26, 29:27, 30:26, 30:26, 30:26, 30:26), according to Report.

Now Huseynov is just one step away from a license for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Victory in the 1/4 finals (the match will be held on March 11 - ed.) will be enough for him to win a ticket to the Olympic Games.

This is Nijat's second consecutive victory over this opponent. The first time Huseynov defeated Garboyan in the final of the European U-22 Championship in November last year.
