Athletistic / Boxing. American boxer Kevin Johnson, who received Russian citizenship, spoke about the importance of performing under the Russian flag.

On February 16, the athlete will fight Irishman Sean Turner in an MMA tournament.

“It’s an honor and a privilege for me. You can’t imagine a bigger moment: you go out and represent another country. It’s great to be a part of that, a lot of people don’t get the opportunity to experience this. It’s a blessing to be accepted and to be treated well,” Johnson said at a press conference.
