Athletistic / Boxing. Russian boxer Albert Batyrgaziev, 2020 Olympic champion, explained why his master class with figure skater Alina Zagitova did not take place. They were supposed to hold an exhibition fight in the summer of 2022.

“A week before the event, I was asked to host a master class with Alina Zagitova. To teach her the basics of boxing. I said I had no questions, I would host a session training. And the day before this event, they turned everything upside down and announced our professional fight. It’s completely unthinkable. Also, a boy and a girl.

Zagitova was delighted with her participation in the ice show in Beijing

I said I didn’t sign up so they wouldn’t touch me. Even if I came to training, no one would be interested in what I was doing there. Everyone would think it’s a fight,” Batyrgaziev quotes Championship.
