russian boxer Muslim Gadzhimagomedov told RT he was not thinking about a possible change of nationality.
– I do not consider this option. Not ready to play for another country, — said the boxer.
Gadzhimagomedov also explained whether the absence of athletes from the United States, Great Britain and Germany helped him win gold at the World Championships in Tashkent.
– In my weight there is not a single top boxer from these countries. In fact, the competition turned out to be very competitive. There have never been so many States and participants in the history of the World Championships. For me, this is the third championship, and I have never seen such a scale as this time. In addition, the prize fund has become an additional incentive for boxers. All the guys were “burning”, they wanted to win because of the jackpot. Because $200,000 is a lot of money and a huge help in life. Thanks for this to the head of the IBA, Umar Kremlev. There were athletes from poor countries at the tournament, and after winning they left Tashkent happy, ”said the boxer.
In Tashkent, Gadzhimagomedov defeated 2021 World Championship silver medalist and Italian 2022 European champion Azzis Abbes Muhiydin in the World Championship final and won the gold medal in the weight class until at 92 kg.
