Two-time Olympic boxing champion Oleg Saitov told he will hold a boxing master class for the Olympic figure skating champion Alina Zagitova as part of Moscow Sports Day on June 25 in Luzhniki.
Earlier, RIA Novosti Sport reported that Zagitova will have a boxing fight with Olympic champion Albert Batyrgaziev. However, Eduard Kravtsov, the boxer’s trainer, denied this information in an interview with .
– This is not a duel with Alina, but a master class. I was offered, and gladly agreed to conduct a master class with our beautiful figure skater, whom I watch, subscribe to her. I am very happy that Alina started boxing! Boxing is an interesting sport for all ages. To feel the coordination, to be able to defend, to hit, you have to learn how to do it at any age, it’s just a thrill, Saitov told .
— What will be on the program for the master class?
– The most important thing in boxing is defense, the ability to move, to hit. In other words, there must be a skill set. When a person only knows how to hit, he will miss in defense, and that’s bad.
– During the master class, there is no risk that Zagitova will get hurt?
– In any case! Do not worry, everything will be at the highest level, Alina will be satisfied.
Zagitova, 20, is the first Russian figure skater to win the championship title at all major tournaments: at the Olympics, World Championships, European Championships and the Grand Prix series final.
