As we remember, Batyrgaziev was first offered as a partner to play with Zagitova, but then his place was taken by two-time Olympic champion Oleg Saitov.
Batyrgaziev explained: “We planned to hold an open training session, where I had to teach Alina some elements of boxing. However, the next morning, I noticed that thanks to certain individuals, who, of course, remain in the shadows, the whole thing had “reorganized” into a real duel. Do you understand how it sounds? If I went there, what headlines and scandals would break out?
Therefore, I refused to participate, because it all turned into a kind of “professional fight”. Our intention was to have a master class, an open training session, and that would have seemed much more reasonable,” RIA Novosti Sport quoted Batyrgaziev as saying.
