Famous Ukrainian boxer helps Kadyrov's friend.

Ukrainian boxer Yegor Velikovsky is helping Russian Artur Beterbiev prepare for the light heavyweight world championship title fight against Dmitry Bivol from Russia. Velikovsky announced this on his Instagram page.

“After three weeks of tough sparring with the world champion, I feel a surge of motivation, confidence, and the sense of a new stage in my professional career,” the Ukrainian wrote.

Beterbiev is a friend of the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov. This was highlighted by the chief editor of ua.tribuna.com Oleg Shcherbakov in his Facebook post. He criticizes Yegor and other Ukrainian boxers who expressed support for Velikovsky on Instagram.

“Ukrainian boxer Yegor Velikovsky is helping to prepare a Kadyrovite, Artur Beterbiev, for a fight. He proudly announced this himself on his Instagram. The post was already liked by other Ukrainian boxers Dmytro Mitrofanov, Serhiy Radchenko, Fedor Cherkashin, and others. Cool, well done,” Shcherbakov wrote.

The Beterbiev - Bivol fight will take place on October 12 in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), although previously WBC was against holding this bout.

It was previously reported that a young Ukrainian tennis player from Lviv is playing tournaments paired with a Russian.
