Secretary General of the Russian Boxing Federation Tatyana Kiriyenko in a conversation with journalists assessed the possibility of performances of the 2018 Olympic champion in figure skating Alina Zagitova in boxing and said she advocates various collaborations to promote the sport.
Zagitova has posted boxing training photos more than once. In the summer, the figure skater held an open training session with two-time Olympic boxing champion Oleg Saitov.
– Will the Russian Boxing Federation help organize Zagitova’s fight if the skater wishes?
– Now there are a lot of projects: punches and other shows. I think that each show has its place, but we are still a federation responsible for Olympic sport, so we accept various collaborations. We know that Alina Zagitova trained with Oleg Saitov on the Olympic day in Luzhniki, we welcome such things and are always in favor. And as for “trying out”… Boxers can also scuba dive and show off their ability to swim underwater. The most important thing is to develop the sport.
