Turkish boxer granted

Başar will represent Turkey at the Baku 2015 European Games at the 60kg weight class.

The Turkish Boxing Federation sees Başar competing in Azerbaijan as a good way to prepare for qualification for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

"The European Games are a good rehearsal ahead of the Rio Olympics. The conclusions we get in Baku will show us where we are on the road to Rio," said Mr. Eyüp Gözgeç, the President of the Turkish Boxing Federation.

Mr. Gözgeç said the European Games are a major goal for the entire Turkish boxing community, adding: "Our athletes, our coaches and our federation are working very hard day and night for this."
