MOSCOW, Oct 12, Oleg Bogatov. European Champion 2022 Georgian boxer Georgy Kushitashvili said that before the final fight of the competition he was offered to lose the fight for money. Kushitashvili had previously played for Russia and won the national championship twice. Russian boxers did not take part in the tournament due to sanctions. “They approached me and asked,” said Kushitashvili. “And not about me withdrawing from the final, but about entering the ring and giving the fight. You can write what is for me principles come first. Boxing is my life, I can’t go to sell my desires and dreams to someone. I’m not the kind of person who can do it — sell my principles. «Now my main goal is the Olympics in Paris. Only gold will suit me, not a medal of a different value. And if they told me now: “You will have second place, prepare the way you prepare,” I would not agree, ”the agency’s interlocutor emphasized.
