World boxing champion according to WBC, WBO and IBF Artur Beterbiev told how he jumped on the MMA cage in the gym of former UFC champion in two weight classes, Georges St-Pierre.
The Russian, who defended three championship belts in a fight with Callum Smith on January 13, has already repeatedly stated that he is friends with St. Pierre, who also lives in Montreal. Beterbiev and Saint-Pierre have repeatedly appeared in joint photographs on each other’s social networks.
— You have a publication on social networks where you and Georges St-Pierre are in an MMA gym, and there you jump on the cage. Plus, there’s a comparison to Khabib’s jump at UFC 229. What’s going on there?
— It was Saint-Pierre’s personal room. And I don’t remember exactly what we did. Either he showed me something, or I wanted to repeat something, but I was interested in seeing whether or not I could stay in the cage. Because I’ve seen people do somersaults from there, forwards and backwards. I wanted to see what it was.
— Georges Saint-Pierre appeared on several occasions wearing down jackets with Russian symbols. And it’s clear that you gave it to him. Did you bring this especially for him or did you just bring a souvenir bag to give to everyone?
– No, no, I brought it to him. In fact, he really likes Russia, if I understand correctly. Treat him well. He seems to have familiar friends in Russia… except me,” Beterbiev told .
