Fourth Olympic card won by Italian boxing at the European Games in Krakow.

After Salvatore Cavallaro, Giordana Sorrentino and Irma Testa, it was the turn of Aziz Abbes Mouhiidine.

Having reached the semi-finals through a convincing run in the 92kg category draw, the Italian eliminated Poland’s Mateusz Bereznicki with a conclusive 5-0 win.

The triumph secured the Olympic card (individual pass) for the Paris 2024 Games. 

“I am still in disbelief,” he said, "very excited. It is a dream come true, a promise I made to my father and managed to keep. Now the goal is to make Mameli’s anthem resound around Paris.”
