– You come out to the music of artists Miyagi & Andy Panda and Panama, which has become part of their style. Do you have communications?
We communicate through people, they know me. I went to Ossetia after the training camp in Kislovodsk, trained at the Miyagi Vostok gymnasium. This is the room he opened and maintained. If the meeting is to take place, it will take place. And so – I just get stoned from their work. Hello to all guys from Ossetia.
– There is a very strong fight in Ossetia, but there are several well-known boxers from this republic. Who have you trained the most with?
– I’ve been there and there, but I went through sparring boxing there so hard that I felt boxing was at a really good level there.
With whom did you train in boxing?
“They were guys in their 20s and 30s in the world rankings, young prospects who can work harder in training than celebrities. Sometimes I frankly had to survive, it was hard to work with them in boxing.
– Who edits your videos for social networks in music?
– Sister. We have been working for a long time. I give her an idea, she helps shoot and make videos, you could say she’s my content creator,” Slipenko told .
