— Probably when you started kickboxing, there were more names in the heavyweight division. Can you name someone now?
— In the category up to 90 kilos, probably not, but in the absolute category, I remember there was Rico Verhoeven, the last one I caught. But I know that he lost to Andrey Gerasimchuk, and I won against Andrey at Fight Nights. It is difficult to name someone else.
— You seemed to say that after the arrest of Pavel Durov, you will not use a telegram to prepare a French athlete?
– No, I will use the telegram, but I will not discuss the battle plan in the telegram.
— Apart from the fights with you, there is a popular video in which you knocked out a trainer in Thailand: in this video, you kick the person holding your legs in the head. What happened after the filming stopped?
– Yes, nothing much happened, he came to his senses, pulled himself together somehow. A group of Thais ran there and started asking what had happened. Everything was fine, the next day he was already holding his paws, he wasn’t holding me anymore. I apologized, but actually it was his omission, he said to hit two times, and after the first one he pulled his paws back, well, it happened,” Papin told .
