Russian heavyweight Sergei Pavlovich has spoken about his stance on moving to the United States. His words are quoted “Match TV”.
“I’m back home, I have good and positive thoughts. I breathe differently. Everything is fine. Do I want to return to the USA? My duty was to bring the belt. I needed to have a good camp and buy new things for myself.
Moving to the USA for good? No no. I love everything here. As trite as it may sound, where you are born is a place that works for you. I’m going to the show, I’m getting ready – yes. But living is no,” Pavlovich said.
