Greece at the forefront of world boxing

In particular, the international boxing tournament “Acropolis Cup”, which concerns men-women, will be held June 16-19 in Athens, while the European tournament “Andreas Dimarellis” will be held September 22-25 in Thessaloniki and will concerns the younger age groups.

This is a historic moment for the sport, as no major international event has been held in recent decades.

At the same time, the pleasant developments for the sport continue. In the context of the continuous effort for the further consolidation of the sport and, after personal struggles and decisive efforts of the president of the EEA, Harry Marioli, the Hellenic Federation secured a “mammoth” sponsorship of 100,000 euros, in order to proceed quickly with the development of as well as the implementation of pre-election development interventions for the rebirth of Greek boxing.

The president of the Hellenic Boxing Federation in a statement on the latest developments, emphasizes that: “I would like to wish a good and ‘blessed’ year with health, happiness and success. I feel deeply moved and proud of the work that has been produced in such a short time. Greece undertakes two international competitions and we will host great athletes in our country. The ‘Acropolis Cup’ in boxing was a big event in the previous years, in which the top athletes from all over the world were present.

This, then, the top international tournament will be revived again in Greece. International events are very important, as in this way we promote sports tourism and promote the country worldwide. Greece has offered a lot to Greek sports and Olympism and has awarded many medals at the Olympic Games.

For this reason, the international events will give us the opportunity to show the world, once again, that Greek athletes, despite the difficulties of the day, are capable of the greatest distinctions and make us proud of their appearances at great events.

In parallel with the undertaking of the events, I would like to point out that the federation for the first time secured a ‘mammoth’ sponsorship of 100,000 euros, a sponsorship that we respect and will use for the benefit of the athletes to best meet their competitive goal, but and guided by the promotion and development of the sport.

I want to state once again that the development of the sport was, is and will be our main priority. Our ultimate goal, among other things, is to restore all the events of the past, taking the appropriate actions, in order for Greek boxing to regain its lost competitive glory. The most important thing for me is that my campaign commitments become deeds and these deeds prove that goals and dreams are always out there to be achieved.

What I have always supported and continue to support is the triptych: Transparency, development and international events. The whole sports world now realizes that boxing is really ‘spreading its wings’ and we all, who are at the ‘front line’ of this tough fight, look forward to immediately seeing a better future for the athletic boxing family, but also a auspicious and fruitful future full of success for the sport.

We are still at the beginning, but as we know the ‘beginning is the half of everything’. Adversity is not lacking, problems are not absent, but with steady steps, with patience and perseverance, with targeted interventions and innovative thoughts and actions, boxing will reach where it deserves, on the highest step, looking to the future with a smile and optimism. . We are fighting and we will continue to fight ALL TOGETHER together ‘one fist’ to make the impossible possible “.
