Dmitry Dvali stood up for a stranger
Dvali’s personal trainer Ivan Shchelok told RIA Newsthat the 23-year-old boxer came to the Black Sea coast to conduct a master class for young athletes. As a result, Dmitry lost his sight after he stood up for a stranger. The athlete was beaten by a crowd, the participants in the brawl jumped on him. At the same time, as Shchelok notes, the attackers were strong athletic men aged 25-26, given that the boxer’s weight is 54 kilograms.
The fight took place in Feodosia on July 28 at around 6:30 Moscow time.
The boxer and his friend were returning to the hotel from a run when they saw several people beating up a young man. Fearing that the unfortunate man would not survive, the men ran to help – first Dvali’s friend, and then Dvali himself. They tried to resolve the conflict with words, but their attempts were in vain. A mass brawl broke out, which had terrible consequences for the champion.
After providing first aid, doctors began to organize an emergency transfer to Moscow for the athlete.
I have a problem with my eye, it’s practically knocked out… My nose is broken, my orbital bone is destroyed. My friend’s arm is seriously broken. And the article will simply be reclassified as petty hooliganism
The boxer added that if surgeons save his eye, it will be a miracle. He wants to continue boxing and compete for the national team, but he finds it hard to believe.
