On January 15, several Telegram channels immediately reported that the fighter was found dead on the Moscow-Vladikavkaz train. According to the preliminary version, the man was strangled with a pillow, later there was also a version that the death was not criminal. Information about the “” incident was confirmed by the head of the “Arena” promotion Sergey Erkaev.
How and from whom did you learn it?
“Usually one of the team members sends me such news. The first reaction is mild shock, then denial, you don’t believe, you ask again, maybe it’s some kind of joke. But then I phoned Kazbek Kokoev, the president of the Ossetian boxing federation. Unfortunately, everything is like that.
I was on good terms with George, he had three fights in our organization in one year. I can characterize him as a very decent person, very loyal to the organization. As a very good talker even.
– How do you remember him?
– Truth reader. A man who will always speak the truth to his face, no matter who stands in front of him. It always made him different. I can only say the warmest words about him. I don’t know the reasons for what happened, it remains to be clarified. So far, I can only wish all fighters to take care of their health, watch their surroundings, who they communicate with, what they do. A week before this incident, I had a long conversation with George, I told him to focus on training, that I was ready to support him. So that he stops all the situations that could happen to him on the street. It’s just that news surfaced from him that he had an argument with one, with the second. He said, “Sergei, I heard you”, that’s all.
– What else did they talk about?
– He periodically wrote to me, called me, asked me “how are you?” Then he called, congratulated me on the New Year, a conversation began. And that’s all.
– One of the versions is that he went too far in the search for his aunt, who disappeared without a trace, returning to Vladikavkaz from Grozny airport.
– I can’t comment on anything here, he didn’t share anything with me like that.
– If you look at his last fight in your promotion, you can easily see two stars tattooed on his shoulders, which people who have a certain status in the prison hierarchy generally inflict on themselves…
– I cannot comment on this moment in detail, I know that he had a warrant, he personally told me that he was serving. But he did not say under which articles and whether he has a connection with the environment you are talking about.
– Is he planning to play in your league?
– Yes, my objective was to give him fights, to develop his career.
– Is there a link with someone close to him?
– Sure. We want to give in our social networks the contacts of his sister, Anna. And we note that if anyone wants to support their family, they can join this number. George is survived by his wife.
