Ibanez is the third quarterfinalist for Bulgaria in the Olympic boxing tournament.
Stanimira Petrova reached the quarterfinals in the women’s 43 kg category after defeating the reigning world champion Huang Hsiao-Wen of Taiwan. Rami Kiwan defeated the top seed Shannan Davey of Australia in the men’s 71 kg category. Thus, the three Bulgarian boxers are just one victory away from an Olympic medal.
