– It doesn’t matter who is outraged. I will never allow anyone to speak ill of others. The same thing about Islam Makhachev: I know he is a strong fighter, but I don’t watch him. What questions do you have for me? I watched his fight against (Alexander) Volkanovski. I don’t understand the outrage. I just didn’t follow him – I followed the guys I know, they’re mostly Russian. But I have a lot of friends in Dagestan, ”the correspondent of reports Povetkin’s words.
