Atagun to be Youngest Champion After Ali

If Atagun beats Tan Varela Bhartelemy from Cuba today, he will tie Mohammed Ali as the youngest boxer ever to win an Olympic gold.

Yalcinkaya guaranteed a victory, "I will bestow a gold medal to Turkey for the first time," and is willing to share the honor with Mohammed Ali. Ali, who at the age of 17 won a gold medal in the 1960 Olympics in Rome, is largely considered the greatest boxer of all time.
