The Career of Boxer Ramal Amanov
Azerbaijani boxer Ramal Amanov established himself internationally as an amateur lightweight, winning silver at the 2005 World Championships. He later boxed professionally, but the best documented milestones of his career came in amateur competition.
At the 2005 World Championships in Mianyang, China, Amanov advanced through the lightweight bracket to the final. He defeated Italy’s Domenico Valentino in the semifinal before losing the gold-medal bout to Cuba’s Yordenis Ugás. The silver made Amanov one of Azerbaijan’s standout boxers at the tournament.
Amanov returned to the World Championships in 2007. He beat France’s Daouda Sow before losing to England’s Frankie Gavin, who went on to win the title. These results place Amanov among the leading lightweights of his amateur generation; later professional records should be checked against current bout registries because totals vary across databases.
