Last book you read: War and Peace by Tolstoy.
Favourite film: Gladiator, Brigada, Boomer, Fight With A Shadow.

Where do you train: Checkhov, Russia. before the fight in Germany sometimes I have sparring sessions in Germany.
Training routine: The same as everyone else, but with maximum effort.
Toughest man you faced: It is not the one who is strong in body. It is one who is strong in the soul. For example, Valery Belov – my trainer.
Supplements: Vitamins, nothing special.
If you were not a boxer what would you be: Not sure. Maybe I would be a car racer.
Last place you went on holiday: Dominican Republic.
Favourite football team: I watch usually only championship of the world. I support Russians and wish that they finally start to win. I just like good games with professional and clever players, and enjoy watching nice football, but I do not support any particular club.
Best boxer in sport today: Nikolai Valuev. He is very good and keeps on growing. I also consider him a very good man and my friend.
ENJOY!
