Athletistic/ Figure Skating. Two-time Olympic boxing champion Oleg Saitov has shared his thoughts on his upcoming fight with figure skater Alina Zagitova.

“When athletes from different sports cross paths in the territory of one of them, it is always a fascinating sight for the fans, and for the participants of the event themselves. I consider Alina a girl very versatile. It’s great that her passion for boxing brings us together in the ring and the audience can watch,” the 48-year-old boxer said.

Earlier it was reported that Zagitova would hold a demonstrative fight with Albert Batyrgaziev, but he ultimately refused to fight.
