2016 Olympics

In 2015, Petr Khamukov wins his first Olympic license in middleweight after a sequence of successful matches in AIBA's semi-professional World Series of Boxing events.

In 2016, Petr decides to upweight to light heavyweight division, since Russian Olympic Team didn't have a licensed olympian for this weight. To acquire the license, Petr enters the 2016 AIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament and wins three bouts against Sadiq Umar (NGR), Denis Lazar (SLO) and Sumit Sangwan (IND).

In July 2016, Petr Khamukov is officially announced as Russian Olympic Team member in light heavyweight-class boxing.
