Boxer Ehsan Rouzbahani secured a quota place for Iran at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
The 81kg boxer defeated Commonwealth Games silver medalist Kennedy St Pierre from Mauritania 3-0 in APB Inaugural Title Match at the Universiada Hall in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Rouzbahani defeated Uzbekistan’s Oybek Mamazulunov in a very exciting match during the first week of APB action, but lost his second contest against Russia’s Nikita Ivanov.
With everything on the line in the Matches for Champions series, Rouzbahani produced perhaps the best win of his career as he defeated French undefeated professional boxer Mathieu Bauderlique, and claimed his place in the title match.
On Friday, Rouzbahani beat Kennedy St Pierre and secured Team Iran a quota place for the 2016 Rio Olympics, teamiran.net wrote.
