YEREVAN, OCTOBER 4, ARMENPRESS: Armenian Boxer's school brought up
many athletes. Davit Graf was among Vladimir Yengibaryan sport school
offsprings. Armenpress had an interview with Germany based Armenian
athlete on his past, present and future activities.
-How you got to Germany and became professional boxer?
-I was born in Yerevan. I had a goal to protect myself and my friends,
my grandma Susanna and mom and my steps took me to Olympic boxing
school after Yengibaryan, for what I am very grateful. Then by chance
I headed to Germany. There I simultaneously went for swimming and
boxing. Later on I realized I only want keep to boxing. Years later
after registering some success in a series of competitions I was
invited to Germany boxing team, where I stood another four years and
had wonderful fights. For three times I became Germany and nine times
Baden-Wurtenberg champion, in 2007 I won European Championship bronze
medal . From the early childhood I was dreaming about participating
in Olympic Games and win world title in heavy weight category ,
yet in the course of the time I realized it is hard for an Armenian,
especially when residing in Germany, involved in amateur boxing. It
is quite another task when you are engaged in professional boxing,
the nationality plays no role there. For that reason I turned to agent
Jirayr Basmagyan with the assistance of whom I moved to Sauerland
professional boxing club based in Berlin. Currently I have not a
dream but a goal to become the world champion in heavy weight category.
- Will you one day come forth under the flag of Armenia?
-Everything happens in this life, it would be honor for me to present
Armenia.
-Vic Darchinyan is called "Wild Bull" , Artur Abraham "King Arthur"
you also got a nickname, tell about it?
-I became to be called Graf in its direct meaning- earl , taking into
the accout my strength.
-Will you one day establish sport school after Davit Graf in Homeland?
-If one day I have a chance I would mind charity actions. Sport school
building is not the single option to be of some help to the people.
The ways very, I shall use the chance with the greatest pleasure.
-Your latest match was on September 29, tell about your future plans?
-I scored the victory over English Martin Gregory, most likely the
next fight will be on November, yet the date and the place have not
been clarified.
