Artur Beterbiev is one of the great fighters of these times from Russia and certainly one of the best light-heavyweight boxers on the planet now.
He lost the rematch with undisputed light-heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol last time out but returns shortly in a comeback fight.
Earlier on Instagram he posted a lengthy message which got a big response today on social media.
Artur Beterbiev Pays Respect To First President of the Chechen Republic
Here is the Russian to English translation of his comments today:
“Today marks another anniversary from the birth of the First President of the Chechen Republic, Hero of Russia Akhmat-Hadji Kadyrov (Dala g1azote cyobaldoyla tsunan! ). This name is forever etched in the history of our people.
According to the will of the Almighty, he was destined to stop the war and return peace to his native soil. His wisdom and determination became the turning point that preserved the peace of the entire North Caucasus and the integrity of Russia.
For the Chechen people, the identity of Akhmat-Hadji Kadyrov is of special importance. His feat and dedication became the foundation for today’s prosperity of the Chechen Republic.
Today, all socially important spheres are equally successfully developing in the region: health, sports, tourism, education. More than a thousand mosques have been built in the republic – all that Akhmat-Hadji Kadyrov was aiming for. And all of this today is realized at a high level by his main associate and the continuation of the case – the Head of the Chechen Republic, Hero of Russia, my dear BROTHER Ramzan Akhmatovich Kadyrov.
We remember the name of our First President with great gratitude. His feat and legacy will forever remain in the hearts of the Chechen people.”
Beterbiev has only had one loss so far in his professional boxing career (Bivol).
Artur Beterbiev takes on Deon Nicholson on November 22nd in Saudi Arabia.
