Athletistic/Boxing. Russian promoter Kamil Gadzhiev commented on the acquisition of Russian citizenship by American boxer Kevin Johnson. Additionally, Johnson decided to take his middle name “Vladimirovich” in honor of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Recently, I was asked how I felt about this situation. In fact, it’s just a joke to me. Another American has become a Russian – nothing special. One less person in the United States – United and one more in Russia. Does it matter? Actually, no “Honestly, if an active American athlete who really manages to announce that he is taking Russian citizenship, it would be interesting. But when a person who is already over forty decides to become Russian, it makes me smile. Don’t get me wrong, it’s just a show,” Hajiyev said on his YouTube channel.
