Russian professional boxer, State Duma deputy Nikolai Valuev commented on the incident of harassment suffered by Ukrainian fighter Ivan Redkach for a photo with his Russian counterpart Dmitry Bivol and a call to separate sports from politics.
Nikolay Valuev decided to support Redkach, saying that such cases of harassment are “a bacchanal that has been going on since 2014.”
“Sport, it should be outside politics,” Valuev stressed.
