Russian boxer Artur Beterbiev thanked fans and coaching staff after defending WBC, IBF, WBO light heavyweight world titles
On Saturday in Canada, Beterbiev beat Briton Callum Smith by technical knockout in the seventh round and defended his three light heavyweight world titles. The 38-year-old Russian now has 20 victories (20 by KO) and no defeats.
— They say that boxing is the loneliest sport, because in the ring there is only you and your opponent. On the one hand, it’s true, of course, but on January 13, at the Videotron Center, I felt immense support. I don’t know exactly how many people came, but there were a lot of you. It was a great joy for me to step into the ring in Quebec.
I also want to thank those who have supported me and continue to support me on the Internet. I have read almost all the comments and messages. Of course, it will not be possible to respond to everyone, but I see all your kind words. Of course, a special thank you to my team, with whom we have once again come all this way. And they did it, it seems to me, successfully! — Beterbiev wrote on the Telegram channel.
