Servet Tazegul: 'I do not feel pressure ahead of appearance at Baku 2015'

Turkey taekwondoka Servet Tazegul has said that he does not feel any pressure ahead of his appearance at the 2015 European Games in Baku.

The 26-year-old won an Olympic gold at London 2012, an Olympic bronze in Beijing 2008 and has also claimed three world titles, with the -68kg category favourite now looking to impress at the Crystal Hall.

"I don't feel pressure. I have achieved everything in the sport and now my opponents have to step it up in order to achieve the same," said Tazegul, according to the official Baku 2015 website.

"I never lost in Baku and I hope this continues."

Tazegul is best known for his preference for more traditional forms of taekwondo, including the use of the spinning back kick.
