According to reports in Azerbaijan, an Armenian boxer has been
attacked with stones as he attempted to take part in a bout at the
World Amateur Boxing Championships in Baku.

was subjected to a targeted attack by activists from the "liberation
of Karabakh" group and was forced to abandon the fight.
