During a press conference after the victory over Charles of the Bronx, the athlete claimed to have been provoked and asked that attitudes like these be avoided, so that he will not be arrested in the United States.

“(The fan) showed me 'fuck you' and wanted to punch me. I wanted to punch him back. And that. No matter who you are, I'll punch you in the face. I come from Russia. Don’t do this, please or I will go to prison in the United States”, declared the fighter.
