Stoyka Krasteva wins second Olympic gold medal for Bulgaria

Bulgaria's Stoyka Krasteva won the Olympic title at the Olympic boxing tournament, in the flyweight category up to 51 kg in Tokyo.

The European champion from Sofia 2018 and two-time world runner-up Stoyka Krasteva defeated with full unanimous judgment (5:0) the Turkish Buse Naz Cakiroglu, placed number 1 in the scheme and the current European champion and world runner-up.

In the debut final for a Bulgarian boxer at the Women's Boxing Olympics, the 35-year-old Krasteva showed a more effective game and definitely won the match.
