“I won’t discuss the fight plan in a telegram” – boxer Papin about preparing for an opponent from France
Russian boxer Alexei Papin, in a conversation with Match TV, said that he would limit the use of the popular messenger while preparing for his opponent from France, Florent Gautier.
36-year-old Alexey Papin will perform for the first time since 2015 under the rules of kickboxing with small gloves in the AMC SUF league on October 31 against kickboxer from France Florent Gatier. The athlete himself said that he will continue to perform in professional boxing, but will also be ready to compete in fights where kicks are allowed.
— Probably when you started kickboxing, there were more names in the heavyweight division. Can you name someone now?
— In the category up to 90 kilograms, probably not, but in the absolute category, I remember that there was Rico Verhoeven, the last one I caught. But I know that he lost to Andrey Gerasimchuk, and I won against Andrey at Fight Nights. It’s hard to name anyone else.
— You seemed to say that after the arrest of Pavel Durov you will not use telegram when preparing for an athlete from France?
– No, I will use telegram, but I will not discuss the battle plan in telegram.
— Outside of fights with you, there is a popular video in which you knocked out a trainer in Thailand: in it, you kick the person in the head who is holding your paws. What happened after filming stopped?
– Yes, nothing much happened, he came to his senses, pulled himself together somehow. A bunch of Thais ran up there and started asking what happened. Everything was fine, the next day he was already holding his paws, he just didn’t hold me anymore. I apologized, but in fact this was his omission, he said to hit two blows, and after the first he removed his paws, and well, it came,” Papin told Match TV.
Live broadcasts of mixed martial arts tournaments can be seen on the Match TV and Match! Fighter”, as well as on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
