dude has a law degree and various business interests. His family is well connected in kazakhstan - like government level well connected. Dude's got it made basically. **** sucks about his eye, but unlike many fighters he was never dependent on boxing for his income. Never really liked him as a fighter, but respect and good luck to the guy.

thanks for the article its a great read! He never had a good manager or promoter and his style wasnt the most crowd pleasing! But he seems like a cool cat...

It was a smart move I wish him a lot of success and luck in life and was very happy when he made that phony Flores look like a fool...

Seems like his constant training really injured him, guess you shouldn't spar so much when there's no fight set

When BHOP dropped him, thing of beauty.

shame about the eye.

The guy just genuinely loved to fight, be it in a boxing ring or in a bar.

He got into a bar fight?

I heard he worked his own corner before. Is that true?

I`ve heard few times that he just loves to fight. And I vaguely remember a story of him involved in a fight at a night club in Kazakhstan. That was some time after Hopkins fight, if I remember correctly. Can`t find any links or details to that, though.

I guess that makes sense. At the point where you box for a living, what's the difference if you get into a fight at a bar? I mean you've boxed on TV before in front of thousands of people. At that point a bar fights like whatever. He probably didn't even care.
