Blogger Danya Milokhin, who made his boxing debut, expressed his desire to box only with strangers. His words are quoted Sports24.
“If we take the rivals, I wouldn’t want to go to a fight with the Russian guys because the answer is simple: I want to be popular around the world. For this I have to fight with strangers. Even after the fight with Khan, a small part of India recognized me, I found myself on their side. Even so: I fought a foreigner to the Russians, but all of Russia was watching me!” – said Milokhin.
On February 16, Milokhin defeated Indian blogger Ajmal Khan at the ALPHA FIGHT SERIES tournament in Dubai. The fight, the Russian’s first in boxing, ended in the first round when Milokhin forced his opponent to the ropes and delivered several fierce blows to the head, forcing the chief referee to stop the fight early.
Milokhin had previously participated in the show “Ice Age”. In the previous season of the project, she skated with figure skater Evgenia Medvedeva. They did not manage to win, but the couple won the audience prize and won one million rubles.
Previously reportedMedvedeva did not congratulate Milokhin on his first victory in boxing.
