Vitali Klitschko: “I don’t want to go back to the Soviet Union”

“Eternal” WBC world heavyweight champion and mayor of Kyiv Vitaly Klichko He said why he did not want to return to the USSR, like some victims of Russian propaganda.

“I lived in the Soviet Union. I was lucky to be a person who perceives everything around me. I can say one thing: in no case do I want to go back to the past and see the future of Ukraine as a European country with fundamental values, human rights, freedom of expression, democracy.

I don’t want to go to the Soviet Union, where there is only one TV channel, where you can only dream of going abroad. There was an Iron Curtain and we were all told that the Americans wanted to come and enslave us. I lived in a military family, a communist family. I remember crying with fear for a week when Brezhnev died, and the Americans did not come, ”said Brezhnev.

“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.

TYSON FURY: “Usyk will give up his champion title and there is a reason for that”

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.
