— Thank you all for your congratulations. I say hello to my unit. I have already said that I would like to dedicate this victory to my deceased group commander. It is good that we took a break from football and watched national martial arts. I am glad to be the one who contributes to creating large-scale and high-quality events in Russia. Together we make Russia great. I am grateful to my opponent for this long history. Maybe it is ending, or maybe it is not ending. But what has happened over the years has already gone down in history and I am proud of it. Without my opponent, this would not have been possible. I have great respect for him and his team. I was about to quit and connect my life with another profession, but it is good to have such friends and rivals. And rivals … If we are no longer friends, then we can become comrades. We showed a beautiful sports confrontation without any dirt. “We must not have enemies inside the country, and all confrontations must be sporting and end in the ring. You must be an example for young people: how to be friends and how to love your country,” the correspondent reports, reporting Mineev’s words.
The boxing match between Mineev and Ismailov was broadcast live on channel.
