LEYLA JAVADOVA
Boxing
«I was born in Irkutsk, Russia on February 19, 1993. I am fighting in the 75 kg category. I am glad I stayed in Azerbaijan and joined national boxing team. I took third place at European Championship in Bucharest, Romania and I was also third at the Championship in Bulgaria. Inshallah, I will win gold. I will not participate in the Islamic Solidarity Games as they do not have women`s boxing in their programme.»
«I am currently training for the European Women`s Boxing Cup. The specific dates will be determined shortly. I am training twice as day. When preparing for a sports event, we train three times a day.»
