Euronews has prepared and published a story about the preparations for the Baku 2015 first European Games.

The video begins with some workout scenes of world boxing champion Javid Chelebiyev, who is a member of Azerbaijan’s boxing team. Then the boxer shares his opinions about what he targets at the tournament.

At this level it’s extremely important to be prepared mentally and to have experience, says Javid, mentioning that after winning the Boxing World Championship he has acquired these essential qualities and that he is now ready to win at the upcoming European Games.

The video story notes that the European games are organized similarly to the other continental multi-sport events that already exist, such as the Asian, Pan-American, Pacific and All-Africa Games.
