Ekaterina Bivol, ex-wife of the Russian boxer Dmitry Bivol spoke about life after his divorce from the WBA light heavyweight champion (Super).
Ekaterina announced the divorce of 32-year-old athletes in April. The couple met when the athlete was 16 years old. In marriage, they raised two sons.
Are you still with the champion?
No, he left me.
– How long have you been together?
– It’s been two months, but emotionally – four.
– How to survive a divorce?
– I went to see a psychologist a few months before the breakup. I felt like everything was wrong. It saved me.
— Do you have your own business? Who supplies you?
– I think it’s not a secret that everything that is acquired in marriage is divided in two?
What is your bravest act in life?
– She let her husband go, did not hold back.
– Not sad? Are you already used without Dima?
– What are you getting used to? I have always been alone for at least half the year. We haven’t seen each other for ten months last year. What to get used to? To loneliness? I’m very used to it. It’s sad sometimes, but I thought it would be worse. I turned out to be much stronger than I thought. I’m really surprised.
His fights are no longer my problem. I will always support his boxing career. He is the best! I wish him the best in his career.
How could he leave you?
– I myself am surprised, because there was no serious reason to break off relations. It seems to me that in a year I will not remember it, because the reason is insignificant, just some kind of nonsense. You know, you can probably walk away from everyone. But for me the most important thing is that I lived 16 happy years with this person and that I don’t regret anything, even the worst. I am grateful to my fate for this and for the children. To be honest, I’m finally happy to be myself,” Bivol said while communicating with followers on social media.
Bivol has 21 wins (11 by knockout) in the professional ring. The Russian, after defeating Mexicans Saul Alvarez and Gilberto Ramirez, was recognized as the best boxer of 2022 according to numerous publications and organizations, including the WBA. It was also named the best by pundits.
