Two-time Olympic boxing champion Oleg Saitov spoke about the demonstration master class with the champion of the 2018 Games in figure skating Alina Zagitova.
The master class was held on Saturday at Luzhniki as part of the Moscow Sports Day. First, Saitov held a warm-up for Zagitova. Then they held a training session, during which Zagitova practiced various strikes.
— The girl is pleasant, coordinated. When a person is engaged in professional sports that require coordination, he will be able to intercept skills in any other sport. Therefore, everything is fine, he has been studying for a month and a half – everything is quite good. But to learn boxing, you need a sparring partner, his feeling. You can’t do it without contact.
Alina has good quality punches, not just touches. It is felt that a person is working on himself, everything is fine. What advice would I give? Do not throw [бокс]Don’t worry – everything will work out. Everything will be fine. I enjoyed it when a person with good energy is nearby, it’s always nice. I’m ready to help, probably not on a permanent basis, but I’m ready to give advice, sometimes I’m ready to conduct master classes,” Saitov told reporters.

“The grappling match with Makhachev will not take place, because Islam earns a lot of money in the UFC” – Tsarukyan
UFC lightweight number one Arman Tsarukyan said that he does not yet consider a potential grappling fight with the promotion’s welterweight champion Islam Makhachev to be realistic.
On Tuesday, Tsarukyan and Sharabutdin Magomedov, known by his nickname Shara Bullet, ended in a draw in a grappling bout in Yerevan.
— The grappling match with Makhachev will not take place, because Islam earns a lot of money in the UFC. I don’t think anyone can afford to pay him that amount,” Red Corner MMA quotes Tsarukyan as saying.

Former world heavyweight champion, British Tyson Rage I am sure that WBC champion Oleksandr Usyk will leave his belt vacant due to the lack of interesting opponents:
“Usyk will not fight opponents ranked in the WBC because it is impossible to make good money from these fights. How much money will he make by fighting Agit Kabayel or Lawrence Okolie?”
Frankly, these are insufficient. After making a ton of money fighting Tyson Fury, you don’t want to go back to fights that have no financial benefit.
Usik will therefore give up his WBC title and Agit Kabayel will become the full world champion. He will be able to defend against (German boxer) Okolie or Moses Itauma,” Fury said on the DAZN platform.
Kabayel’s next opponent will be Poland’s undefeated representative Damian Knyba. The fight for the WBC interim title will take place in Germany on January 10.
