In addition, the NOC has identified the best trainers. Corresponding rewards from the hands of the president of the NOC Sergey Bubka were given to the mentors Boruca - Andrei and Anatoly Chumakov.

"It's nice that our girls do not stay in the shadow of the guys and loudly declare themselves in the international boxing arena.

Ukrainian boxers have long taught us to win, returning from almost every Olympic Games, world championships and Europe with medals, "said Sergei Bubka.

After Boruca received the award, she thanked everyone who was involved in her success. She also thanked Sergei Bubka. According to the boxer, she was always admired and inspired by the performances of the President of the NOC.
