Russian boxer Artur Beterbiev thanked the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov for the financial support of athletes in an interview with the MMATIKA YouTube channel.
“We are very lucky that we have Ramzan Akhmatovich, who helps. He spends a lot of not only finances, but also purely his time, energy, ”said the athlete. He recalled that Kadyrov promised to help him with money at the beginning of his career, but he paid attention to the fact that he himself should win in the ring.
On December 30, Kadyrov handed out Mercedes cars to three fighters of the Akhmat sports club. Beterbiev, Abdul-Kerim Edilov, Imam Khataev and Tamerlan Bashaev received gifts.
In December last year, Beterbiev knocked out American Marcus Brown and defended two World Boxing Council (WBC) and International Boxing Federation (IBF) light heavyweight titles (up to 79.4 kilograms). For the Russian, this victory was the 17th in 17 fights.
