The 20-year-old athlete from Grimancauti scored the best result for Moldova at the continental competition this year. Petru Caduc’s pupil is the second Moldovan boxer who competed in the final of a European championship, after Veaceslav Gojan, in 2002 and 2011.

At the competition in Minsk, Moldovan boxer Petru Ciobanu won bronze in the 81 kg class.
