Former world boxing champion Grigory Drozd said that Russian Dmitry Bivol is progressing rapidly and leaves no chance for his rivals.
On Sunday night in Abu Dhabi, Bivol defeated Ramirez by unanimous decision and defended the WBA (Super) belt. For the Russian, this victory was the 21st in 21 fights. Ramirez suffered the first defeat of his career. He has 44 wins to his credit.
– This is even being discussed. He’s right on that level. At a very high level. I speak with caution, because I don’t want to think ahead and engage in capping. But still, we understand that 44-0 are living numbers, including good boxers, including the Cuban Sullivan Barrera. This is a good level. Ramirez simply destroyed it, “killed” the body.
I mean, we all understand that a strong boxer came out against Dmitry Bivol. But what did the fight show? Dmitry is growing so much that he leaves no chance at all. In reality, Dimitri didn’t miss a single big blow in the world title fight against the mandatory challenger, who is 44-0. This is a colossal level of skill. I assure you, Dmitry is truly worthy of any legendary famous middleweight or light heavyweight. Dima has risen to the height of a big world star in the literal sense, – Metaratings.ru quotes Drozd.

Every day at 9 am, Ukrainians commemorate the people who lost their lives in the Russia-Ukraine war. Today Sport.ua recalls that 21-year-old Thai boxing master Vladislav Vakulenko, a very positive person, had great potential in the ring, but with the beginning of a full-scale invasion he decided to defend Ukraine. The fighter died exactly three years ago, on December 30, 2022, while conducting a combat mission near Bakhmut in the Donetsk region.
Vladislav was born in Kiev and has been involved with sports since his childhood. Just six months before his tragic death, he received a diploma from the National University of Physical Education and Sports of Ukraine and dreamed of major competitions, medals and training future champions. In parallel with his studies, Vladislav trained in Muay Thai. The man hoped to return to training in the gym after the war.
Vladislav Vakulenko took up arms immediately after the Muscovites’ large-scale occupation of his territory. “We live with war! I understand that we live in a historical time when there are real brave comrades nearby, whose soul and body are eager for war… This is a time when you will remain a hero or die a hero,” he wrote on social networks.
His friends and coach remember Vlad as a man of light. He always smiled, joked, supported others, was a master of inspiration, did not make excuses, did not back down from difficulties. The friend wrote: “You’ve done more at this age than some have done in 50 or 60 years.” And Vlad’s mentor, Stanislav Voiten, recalls: “He did his best in training, gave his life in the fight against the invader. I am proud to have known him.”
