Probably only a boxing match with Kostya Erokhin, there was not the kind of money I usually fight for, but there was a tournament in memory of a deceased child. When they told me about it, I was afraid to negotiate. If there had only been one tournament, I might have negotiated the amount. And so I have my own fees, they are gradually increasing. We reached an excellent agreement with Kamil.
