The young man from Siberia has already admitted his guilt.
The philosophy of most martial arts does not accept excessive aggression in cases where the life and health of the defender is not in danger. He repulsed the attack, neutralized the enemy – and calmly went his own way. However, the young Siberian athlete, it seems, failed to learn these rules.
A Russian fighter unexpectedly attacked a stranger right on the street and killed him with one blow. He won’t get out of jail anymore.
Deathmatch
In June 2022, outdoor surveillance cameras captured a man who, swaying, moved unsteadily along Lazo Street in the city of Tomsk. Perhaps shortly before this he entered the conflict. At least the same camera recorded that a young man cheerfully overtook a slowly walking pedestrian.
The first did not hide from the chase and, turning around, was ready to face the danger face to face. The pursuer, without protracting the dispute, without any preludes, knocked out his age counterpart with one blow. As the investigation later revealed, the knockout master turned out to be a citizen born in 2002, who is engaged in one of the sections of martial arts. His victim was a 54-year-old man.
It is unlikely that the young fighter intended to kill his opponent, but he definitely did not think about the consequences of his actions. In other cases, people after a missed blow and a fall get up and even avoid any serious health problems. However, in this case, unfortunately, everything happened differently – the age of the deceased man, as well as his condition, could play a role in the tragic outcome of this skirmish. Judging by his gait, the stranger was tipsy.
One way or another, after an attack on a passerby, an athlete, if he did not conceive of a grave crime, was obliged to provide first aid to his victim, or at least call an ambulance. Instead, the fighter hurriedly left the place of the battle, apparently afraid of the outcome of this “duel”. The victim with a head injury ended up in a medical facility, but it was too late. They didn’t manage to save him.
For several months after the incident, the young man apparently lived quietly – in any case, he did not contact the police. However, law enforcement officers did not forget about the crime: they interviewed witnesses, studied CCTV cameras and, in the end, recently found a suspect. The man was detained at the exit from the house, and a few hours later he confessed to his deed. Now he faces up to 15 years in prison under article 111 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Intentional infliction of bodily harm resulting in the death of the victim.”

Olympic champion and former interim WBA super featherweight champion Albert Batyrgaziev decided to take a break from his professional career.
At the beginning of July in Istanbul at the “IBA.PRO 8” tournament, Batyrgaziev lost early to the British James Dickens and lost the IBA.PRO champion and interim WBA champion titles in the second featherweight division. For the 27-year-old Russian, this was the first defeat in his professional career.
— I want to tell you honestly about my plans. Many people ask about their future career. Now I have decided to take a conscious break from my professional career. For me, boxing has been and remains a huge part of my life. Therefore, this choice is now very difficult. My whole sports life has been a race to the top: four Russian championships, an Olympic medal in Tokyo and then turning professional, where I went undefeated.
The last fight on July 2 was a turning point for me. The first defeat made me look at many things differently. I thank Allah for the trials and mercies that helped me become a better person. Since I have always felt a responsibility not only in the ring, but also before society, now is the time to become more active in projects that I have long planned, for example, supporting the development of sports infrastructure in my native regions. This doesn’t mean I’m saying goodbye to the ring. I remain an active boxer. But now all my work is outside of it. I thank everyone for their incredible support along this path: both in moments of triumph and in moments of challenge. She gives strength. I promise this new chapter will be just as honest and purposeful. I’m not saying goodbye, I’m just saying “goodbye,” Batyrgaziev wrote in the Telegram channel.
Batyrgaziev won gold in the weight category up to 57 kg at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. In the professional ring he has 12 wins and one loss.
