It was important for him that I was involved in sports. It didn't matter in which one. I have a brother who is two years older than me. He went to a [boxing] group. Then I found out where he was when he disappeared for the whole day. And next time I went with him." (iz.ru, 06 Oct 2019)

General Interest

General
OLYMPICS IN MIND
He considered retiring from the sport following the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, but his wife and his coach convinced to him to continue. "My wife's words immediately come to mind. When I was about to quit, she said that it was not the time to leave, at least not that way. My coach Gennady Ryzhikov also suggested doing another Olympic cycle. I then asked him if we had any chance at all. He said, 'Yes.' I listened and decided to stay. And I am grateful to both my wife and the coach for supporting me and helping me to make the right decision." (rg.ru, 12 May 2020)

LEADER
He has served as captain of the Russian national boxing team. "Being captain is a big responsibility. The captain helps young boxers who have just joined the national team. In fact, everything is almost like in football, except that boxers do not argue with the officials. The captain also makes sure that there are no conflicts, so that the team is united. It depends not only on the captain, but also on the head coach. There are no conflicts in our team, we are all friends and we help each other." (news.sportbox.ru, 23 Apr 2020)

FURTHER EDUCATION
He graduated from the Moscow State Mining University in the Russian Federation. (misis.ru, 01 Jan 2016)
