Head of the Republic of Dagestan Sergei Melikov met with absolute world light heavyweight boxing champion Artur Beterbiev .
On October 12, Beterbiev became the absolute light heavyweight world champion, defeating his compatriot Dmitry Bivol by decision.
Melikov presented Beterbiev with a gift from fans and patrons of the arts of Dagestan – a certificate for an apartment, and gave his coach a memorable gift.
— First of all, I want to convey my words of admiration for the fight. I watched it from start to finish, like every boxing fan. In fact, it was complex. The opponent was prepared and dignified. Dagestan, Chechnya and, in general, the entire Caucasus support and support you. We all consider you our boxer, our compatriot, our brother, and we are very happy that the victory is yours. Hard, difficult, the first time it won’t knock you out, but it’s behind you.
Your gloves are in my place of honor. When little parents come to see me, I always tell them who these gloves belong to. May God grant you health, rid you of your injury and return to the training room with renewed vigor.
You have many fans in Dagestan. If there is a rematch, we have no doubt who to support. Dagestan is your homeland and there should be comfortable conditions for you and your family. We appreciate you very much and are always ready to be by your side in any situation,” Melikov said, according to the press service of the Administration of the Head of the Republic of Dagestan.
