Bulgarian Boxer Rami Kiwan Secures Unanimous Victory in Paris 2024 Olympics and Advance to Quarter-Finals (VIDEO)

European champion Rami Kiwan delivered a standout performance, securing a dominant victory over the top-seeded fighter in the 71kg weight class at the Paris 2024 Olympics. The win, achieved by a unanimous decision, saw the boxer from the small Bulgarian town of Cherven Bryag assert his superiority throughout all rounds of the match.

Davey, who had a bye in the first round, found himself outclassed in the ring by Kiwan. From the outset, Kiwan displayed his characteristic style, using counter right hooks and maintaining the middle distance effectively.
