Another unexpected incident has become the center of discussion in the Russian sports community. The head of the International Boxing Association (IBA) Umar Kremlyov and former Lokomotiv midfielder Dmitry Tarasov suggested to footballer Fyodor Smolov to come to boxing training and work on himself. This idea appeared after a scandalous video featuring Smolov spread on social networks.
It should be recalled that in 2018, at the same place, former Russian national team players Alexander Kokorin and Pavel Mamaev caused a high-profile scandal. Currently, among athletes and the public, the topic of footballers' discipline, their mistakes, and sports ethics has again become relevant.
Kremlyov and Tarasov, in a conversation at the gym, called on Smolov to practice in the ring and direct his energy in the right direction. Kremlyov said: "I think footballers should learn discipline from boxers. This is obvious." Tarasov supported this opinion: "Where should you use your strength? Here, there is a good ring, here it is possible."
Both athletes addressed Fyodor Smolov with a proposal to come to the boxing gym and work on himself. "If a person realizes his mistakes, that's good. Well done," Kremlyov said, calling on footballers to be responsible.
Fans are watching with interest the rapprochement between the worlds of football and boxing. This incident once again spurred discussions about the personal discipline of athletes and sports culture in Russia.
