Magomed Nalgiev, a professional boxer and participant in tournaments of the “Our Company” promotion, spoke about his cousin, a rescuer, who died while eliminating the consequences of a gas explosion in the Moscow region.
On Wednesday, September 20, the athlete’s cousin and namesake died after a house collapsed in Balashikha. Nalgiev Sr., who worked at the Ministry of Emergency Situations, cleared the rubble after the gas explosion, trying to save the woman and child.
“He was an incredibly physically strong man.” He has engaged in hand-to-hand combat on several occasions. At one tournament I reached the final and withdrew due to injury. He competed in arm wrestling and kettlebell lifting. Wherever he was interested, he would compete. This man could do anything. The last time we saw each other was about five years ago, we were playing football, he was a goalkeeper, the team was called “Mongoose”, they were playing very well. I remember when I was very young, I was 15-16, I would just come and watch them compete. He could also play offense, and at the same time he was tall, healthy and physically very strong. And we came to see how he stood on the goal, because he seemed big, but he was so fast for his weight,” Nalgiev told .
