    GYM ANSWERS ON BETERBIEV'S CLAIMS 1
    My dear friends and supporters,
    It is with great regret that I learned today that GYM has decided to cancel my fight against Enrico Koelling, notwithstanding repeated assurances that the fight would take place. This news comes right in the middle of my training camp and it is very upsetting. This is made worse by the grossly misleading report coming from GYM that the fight was cancelled because I could not get a visa to fight in the United States. The truth is that GYM refused to go ahead with the fight, notwithstanding the fact that all the necessary contracts have been signed, unless I dropped my lawsuit seeking a confirmation of the termination of our agreement. When I refused to do so, GYM made sure to pull the plug on the fight.
    GYM: IT IS WITH REGRET TODAY GYM HAD TO MAKE THAT DECISION BUT WE BELIEVE TEAM BETERBIEV IS TRYING TO PUT THE GUILT ON GYM AND IS POSTING INACCURATE FACTS. WE WISH TO DIRECTLY ANSWER TO THEIR CLAIM, ONE BY ONE.

    In order to properly set the record straight, I believe the following facts must be highlighted:
    1. On May 18, 2017, I signed an IBF contract for the eliminator fight to be held in Québec City on July 29th, 2017 (a copy of that agreement is enclosed). I was subsequently advised by GYM that the date for the fight was changed to July 21st, but that the fight was still to be held in Québec City. It is for this reason that while Mr. Koelling also signed his agreement, it bears the date of July 21, 2017 (a copy of his signed agreement is also enclosed). As such, it was agreed by all that the fight would be held in Québec City;
    GYM: AT THAT TIME IT HAS BEEN MENTION TO BETERBIEV TEAM, HIS TRAINER AND SAUERLAND EVENTS THAT IT WAS A TENTATIVE DATE SUBJECT TO CHANGES DEPENDING OF THE ECONOMIC VIABILITY OF THE EVENT.

    Beterbiev may start 'dying on the vine' if this drags on.

          F#ck GYM. I've been hoping their promotion burns to the ground since that dummy Yvon Michal said he wasn't going to make a fight between Beterbiev & Stevenson.

            Beterbiev has no fans. How can a promoter possibly make money with him headlining an event?

            He needs a better promoter that can get him more exposure.

                Back in May, Artur Beterbiev signed a contract to face Germany's Enrico Koelling in an IBF final eliminator, with July 29 in Quebec City as the working date and location. During that period of time, Beterbiev filed documents with the court to break his promotional agreement with Yvon Michel of GYM.
