Promoter Vladimir Khryunov, in a conversation with , simulated a possible boxing match with the participation of the Olympic champion in figure skating Alina Zagitova comparing it to wrestling.
According to the official, he has no desire to harm the health of the athlete.
As it became known earlier, Zagitova began boxing training. At the end of June, the 20-year-old athlete held a demonstration training session with two-time Olympic boxing champion Oleg Saitov. Earlier, Khryunov told that he intended to arrange a boxing match for Zagitova by the end of the year.
– Vladimir, do you really want to organize a boxing match for Alina Zagitova?
– I would dream of it. Frank Warren once asked me a question: “What would you like to do that’s so unusual?” I said, “Let’s have a Mike Tyson fight.” A little effort – and six months later, with Warren, I was the promoter of the fight between Mike Tyson and Danny Williams (Tyson lost to Williams in the summer of 2004 in his penultimate official fight of his career – Approx. “”). I have been through many circumstances that have taught me a lesson.
Alina Zagitova is a great athlete of our time with a ready army of fans. No matter what sport she plays, she motivates me to do something honest. And boxing is a great opportunity. Give us six months and we’ll prepare the fight for it to look.
– And the desire of Zagitova herself? Does she know you want to set her up for a fight?
– Yes. We spoke with (Tatyana) Navka. They have an ice show now, and then we’ll start negotiations. Until September 1, in my opinion, they are in Sochi, then they come back.
– In your opinion, does Zagitova herself need this fight?
Did you see the (exhibitional) fight between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones? People dreamed of seeing this fight, they even dreamed of a spyglass. You can technically fake this fight – if you want, rehearse. And this meeting will look.
“Something like wrestling? »
– Maybe yes. I will never make it my life’s goal to harm Alina. The goal is to increase his popularity and give him the opportunity to earn decent money. Well, set a precedent on this subject.
– What do you think of the pessimism of people in the face of the news “Vladimir Khryunov wants to organize a fight with Alina Zagitova”?
– In this short story there is also Olga Buzova. To see in time. When this, I hope, succeeds, we will talk to each other again.
