american boxer Kevin Johnson told that in a few days he will officially become a citizen of the Russian Federation.
In April, Johnson, 43, approached Russian President Vladimir Putin with a request for a Russian passport.
– When will you officially become Russian?
– A few days later, I just finished the paperwork (Johnson submitted documents to Samara – “”). There’s nothing complicated about it, but the problem is that you need too much information. For example, my father’s birthday. Shit, he’s dead! Few people know this information. My mother and my brother are busy people, it is not always possible to contact them. But such small details should not be missed in a huge profile. Knowing the date of birth of the father was the most difficult. I called the funeral director to get that information,” Johnson told .
Johnson has 35 wins, 21 losses and two draws in the professional ring. During his career, the American has boxed with Vitali Klitschko, Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Andy Ruiz, Kubrat Pulev, Derek Chisora and many more.
On Friday, Johnson will face the 2021 world champion, Russian Mark Petrovsky. The fight will take place in Moscow.
