The Russian boxer, who has Canadian citizenship, stood up for the killing of his countrymen by Ukrainians.
Artur Beterbiev stood up for the Russians who waged war in Ukraine and killed people. The unified light heavyweight champion of the world called world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk “sick”.
Recall that the Ukrainian repeatedly criticized the war and the actions of the occupiers in the Kremlin, killing and torturing civilians.
However, a Russian with Canadian citizenship said that the Ukrainian has problems in his head. Therefore, Arthur suggested not to take Usyk’s words too seriously.
“In any case, I was motivated by him. Regarding his words, I think he can be understood like doctors understand the patient. They treat the patient with understanding, they don’t say:” You are sick, go home. .
Also, a boxer has to make some discounts, because he misses a lot of blows to the head, especially at heavy weight. It is necessary for him to make some discounts so as not to offend him, to treat him with understanding. The heavyweight division will still be hit hard,” Beterbiev said on the DROZD PODCAST podcast.
It will be remembered that the previous WBC President Mauricio Suleiman refused to recognize Beterbiev as a Russian.
