Chisinau
In this city, in 1947, the first page of the Moldovan boxing history was opened. In the Pushkin Park, under the open sky, the first Championship of Moldova took place. In 1956, the capital boxers obtained the first remarkable results on the All-Union arena. Then, at the Championship of the All-Union Society “Pishevik”, the Chisinau residents, Mihail Gluhov and Pavel Luscevschii became silver medalists. In the capital of Moldova, the boxing was promoted by the “Labor Reserves”, “Dinamo” and “Moldova”. This kind of sport was particularly popular among university students. Mihail Agulnicov, Municipal Federation President, at that time associate professor at the Polytechnic Institute made significant efforts with a view to developing boxing in Chisinau. Within the 3rd Spartakiad of the Peoples of the USSR held in 1963, the Chisinau residents, Vasile Peata and Alexandru Nefedov, obtained silver and respectively, bronze medals. At various tournaments organized by the All-Union societies “Dinamo” and “Labor Reserves”, the capital boxers obtained dozens of medals. The list of winners within those tournaments includes: D. Cozlov, G. Cuznetov, V. Dolgov, M. Lapteacru, L.Tomsa, A. Mileah, G. Buzilo, E. Jiltov and others. The boxers from Chisinau, for a period of many years, kept leading positions in the country as for the number of prizes in various domestic and All-Union tournaments. The founding of the Youth Sports School by the Voluntary Sports Society "Moldova" in 1982 played a key role in the development of boxing. The head of this school was Alexander Zaicik. The coaches working there were: G. Bugneac, A. Pica, I. Paraschiv and O. Diteatin. The school became the “Moldova” Society boxing center. During those years, a lot of various competitions were held. Particularly popular was the Tournament dedicated to the Civil War hero “Sergei Lazo”. This included a Master of Sports of the USSR qualification normative. In 1988, within the All-Union contest for the best organization of mass-sports activity and training of qualified athletes, of the 540 boxing school, the Moldovan one ranked 4th. Between the years 1995-2000, within the Republican Championships, Chisinau was winning around 5-6 gold medals each time. Starting with 2001, the Chisinau boxing positions were strongly shaken. Thus, Moldovan champions became only three boxers from Chisinau, in 2002 - two, in 2003 - two, and in 2004 - two, in 2005 – two and in 2006 – three. Serious competitors for the Chisinau boxers became the representatives of Grimancauti village and Tiraspol city. Currently, there are boxing sections operating within the specialized school of the “Olimpia” Club (director Leonid Stotchii, senior coach Leonid Tomsa, coaches: Iurii Ermacov and Iurii Safonov). In this school were brought up many excellent boxers. Among them should be mentioned the multiple champion of Moldova, Ivan Gaivan, who in 2002 won the bronze medal at the European Championship. The Specialized Sport School of Boxing, Wrestling and Kickboxing (director Ion Bogdan, senior coach Gr. Liutii; coach: A. Gusan), School of the highest sports mastery No.2. G. Bugneac and A. Pica are working here as coaches. Their pupils become often winners of many prestigious tournaments, including the Republic Championships. School of the highest sports mastery No.2 is proud to have launched the International Master of Sports, Ion Gonta. Currently, Ion practices professional boxing. He achieved excellent results, such as the golden belt of the European Union Boxing Championship (according to ЕВУ). In conclusion, it should be noted that the capital boxing was and continues to be the main link of the country pugilistic life, whose merits can not be underestimated.
The specialized Boxing School from Grimancauti village was founded in 2000, based on the local boxing section. Taking into account the performances of the local athletes, the Government of the Republic of Moldova found the possibility to allocate money necessary for the construction of a boxing centre. This was put into operation in 2004. Currently, it is the main platform where the national team is trained for international competitions. The center has a specialized room endowed with a ring, boxing equipment and other machinery; a hall for general physical training equipped with 12 training devices; a rest room; showers, sauna, kitchen.

Tiraspol In this city, situated on the left bank of Nistru River, boxing is one of the leading sports among young people. The first boxing school was opened in the late forties. In 1947, Rostislav Sutov from Tiraspol participated within the first Championship of Moldova, where he won the golden medal. Since then, much time has passed. The Tiraspol boxing continues its development. Here were trained many wonderful organizers, coaches and referees. In this connection, we would like to mention Boris Oiherman, Evghenii Bojco, Anatol Romanco and Vladimir Poddubnii. Among the today coaches who stand out through a prolific activity are Victor Cazanji, Victor Chinul, Vladimir Ghetmanciuc, Maxim Certicovtev, Anatolii Dovgopol and others. Well, among the athletes, the International Master of Sports, Igor Samoilenco, has no equal. He participated at the Olympic Games in Atlanta, 1996, and Athena, 2002, and won the title of Moldova Champion 12 times. In Tiraspol is rising a new generation of boxers, worthy of the reputation of their predecessors. Suffice it to mention the name of Alexandru Riscan, who at the age of 18 has already won one golden medal, two silver medals and one bronze medal, all of European origin. Today Tiraspol is considered as one of the Moldovan boxing leaders. This is largely due to its right-flank detachment of this courageous kind of sports’ enthusiasts. A lot of good words can also be said against those who fruitfully work in the field of boxing in Bender, Ciadir-Lunga, Cahul, Hincesti, Comrat, Dnestrovsk, Orhei, Ungheni and Vulcanesti. In these regions are prepared very good athletes who periodically represent the country’s flag and defend its good reputation within international competitions.
