The head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov congratulated his compatriot on the VKontakte page Artur Beterbiev with a win over American Joe Smith Jr.
Beterbiev on Sunday night in the United States in the second round by technical knockout defeated Smith Jr. in a unification bout and became the WBO, WBC, IBF world champion. The owner of the WBA (Super) belt in this weight is another Russian Dmitry Bivol.
– An incredible fight, my friends, was played by Artur Beterbiev tonight. In New York, our boxer met John Smith Jr. in the ring. It was a truly incredible and spectacular fight that can be watched dozens of times. From the start, Beterbiev looked a cut above. In the first round, he knocked Smith out of the rut, leaving the latter hopeless of winning, knocking him down.
In the second round, Arthur continued to attack the enemy, using his rich arsenal. Smith tried to answer, but it was already clear that he was no match for our Beterbiev. Another knockdown, then, after a powerful uppercut, the American takes the lead in the ring, and the referee stops the fight.
An unconditional, absolute, clear victory for our talented boxer! Artur has devoted his whole life to boxing and inspires thousands and thousands of young people. It’s good to see how the victories did not intoxicate him, and he remains a modest Chechen, a real role model, an idol for beginner boxers. I am proud that our people have such a noble, honest and religious son who glorifies our republic throughout the world.
With victory! Good luck and strength to reach new heights! Thank you from all the people of Russia for the victory! — wrote Kadyrov.
