St. Petersburg, June 23, Sergey Yaremenko. The choreographer of the Eteri Tutberidze group, Alexei Zheleznyakov, said that a boxing master class is a more appropriate event for the 2018 Olympic champion Alina Zagitova, since a classic fight can be dangerous for a girl. Zagitova and Albert Batyrgaziev were supposed to perform in the format of a show fight in boxing on June 25 at Luzhniki as part of the Moscow Sports Day, organized by the Moscow Department of Sports. However, the boxer subsequently refused to spar, citing an injury. Instead of the winner of the Tokyo Olympics in a demonstration sparring with 20-year-old Zagitova, two-time Olympic champion 48-year-old Oleg Saitov will perform. «It seems to me that the master class is even better than the classic fight. A boxing fight is fraught with bruises, injuries, God forbid, a broken nose or jaw. Why is it for such a beautiful girl like Alina? It’s a dangerous story for a girl. It’s the scars that adorn the men, but not the girls. I’m even glad that everything will take place in the format of a master class, «said Zheleznyakov.
