Early biography
Denis Alexandrovich Goltsov was born in 1990 in St. Petersburg. From a young age, thanks to the example of his brother, he was involved in the world of sports, starting with basketball, and then switching to boxing. In parallel with his studies at St. Petersburg school number 57, the young man gained more and more experience, confidently winning amateur tournaments and gaining excellent athletic form. After leaving school, Denis entered SPbSU, and after a while transferred to Voenmekh. Around this time, he left boxing and started training in sambo.
By that time, Goltsov had already managed to defend the title of master of sports in boxing, and also twice to become a champion in the city. The knowledge of various fighting techniques allowed the young man to try himself in mixed martial arts, in which he was invited by the notorious coach Alexander Korshunov, who is engaged in the upbringing of the Russian national team. Nevertheless, Denis always liked Sambo more, and the skills gained in boxing only accelerated the path to new victories.
Stubborn and almost everyday work on himself allowed Denis Goltsov to become a permanent winner of the Russian junior championship, and then to receive the long-awaited adult rank. Today, he is a master of sports in combat sambo and a European champion in sports sambo, and also holds the titles of vice-champion of the country and European champion in weight up to 100 kg (currently the athlete’s constant weight is already 110 kg with a growth of 198 cm).
