— I have something to work on and there is room to grow. The adversary did not surprise me, I surprised myself. Such an opponent could have been defeated with more confidence. Somewhere I knocked, but I didn’t finish. But everything comes with experience. Expectations were generally justified, but maybe I didn’t complete a lap. Our task was not to mate with him, because he is a heavy guy – more than 100 kg. I dedicate my victory to my hometown of Minusinsk, which is 200 years old today, – the correspondent reports the words of Petrovsky.
For Petrovsky, 24, the victory was the sixth in professional boxing. Johnson suffered the 22nd defeat of his career with 36 wins and 2 draws.
Earlier, Johnson approached Russian President Vladimir Putin with an application for Russian citizenship. The American, who expressed a desire to get a passport in the name of Kevin Vladimirovich, told that he was very happy with his decision to take a surname in honor of Putin. On August 15, the 43-year-old athlete received a license from the Russian Boxing Federation.
