Alfred Commey made his debut with a victory at the European Championships 2024 of boxing, which began today at Pionir in Belgrade (Serbia). The Italian boxer has defeated the Turkish Osmanli Sultan by split decision and thus detached the ticket for the round of 16 of the category up to 80 kgwhere he will now have to see it with the Frenchman Cesar Yojerlinseeded number 3 in the draw.
Tough opponent for the Italian, who wants to make his way in this continental event and deserve the quarter-final against the winner of the match between the Montenegrin Petar Marcic and the Belgian Aythan Sinembio Leganase. The 22 year old from Reggio Emilia, already silver medalist in 2022 in Yerevan (in that season he also became European Champion among the under 22s), he is trying to rediscover the physical form and technical caliber that two years ago allowed him to obtain first-rate results.
Today in the ring he placed some excellent shots against the mangy Anatolian, but in some situations he was surprised and was not continuous in his competitive action. However, the light heavyweight was able to sting when it mattered most, especially in the central part of the match and thus earned the right to continue his adventure on Balkan soil.
