Commenting on the result, he said he felt bitter about this failure to achieve a good result, which he intended to dedicate to the soul of his father (boxer Nabil Hashem, who died while his son was participating in the tournament). ), who mentioned that his brief participation in the course was necessary for his experience, and this was his first outside involvement. And this will be a great lesson for future manuals, and he discovered his weaknesses, according to him.
Boxer Zeinab Khatun also lost in the first round with a technical blow to Egyptian Yumna Ayad. Notably, boxer Hassan El-Zino (69kg) withdrew before the fights due to hair complications he suffered in Lebanon while preparing for the trip. Coach Mustafa El-Zino commented on the results, saying that expectations were different, and in terms of logic, opposite results could have been achieved, but we were faced with forced circumstances and challenges. It should be noted that boxer Ali Hashem played his fight for 7 minutes at the professional level against his Serbian champion Mamić, but a blow to the liver and the death of his father brought a different fate than expected.
