World champion Drozd thinks Zagitova would be better off promoting boxing with a sign and in a swimsuit rather than gloves
Former WBC world heavyweight champion Grigory Drozd does not consider the idea of Olympic figure skating champion Alina Zagitova in boxing to be sound. He offered her the role of a girl who wears in a bathing suit around the ring announcing a sign with the number of the next round in pauses.
Zagitova posted a photo in social networks in boxing gloves and signed the post with the words: “I’m getting ready for something new.” The host of “Match TV” Dmitry Guberniev in his Telegram channel said that the skater’s rival must be Olga Buzova, and he will announce the rounds as a ring announcer.
– If Zagitova really wants to popularize boxing, then she can act as a ring girl between rounds. This will suit her better. If you wish, I can invite her to the show on July 2 in Moscow, our tournament will be broadcast live on Match TV. This is how she will attract attention, it will be very cool. And to hold a boxing match … I don’t think this is a sound idea, Drozd told Match TV.
