Russian State Duma decides to ban the cult tradition in boxing that Fury used against Usyk

The State Duma of the Russian terrorist state is drafting a bill to ban so-called trash talk before martial arts fights. The aggressor country has gone against the long-standing tradition of promoting fights when athletes use provocative statements against each other.

This was stated by former world heavyweight champion Denis Lebedev in an interview with the propaganda channel Mash. The ex-boxer, who during his career went to the ring as a paratrooper, although he never served in the airborne forces, called it necessary to ban fighters from "throwing mud at each other."

"The only thing I don't support is trash talk. I do not support when fighters throw mud at each other. The State Duma is already discussing a ban at the official level. We need to ban athletes from throwing mud at each other," Lebedev said.

It should be noted that trash talk is an iconic and unchanging component of any fight show. For example, it was actively used by Tyson Fury before his fight against Oleksandr Usyk, calling our compatriot a sausage or a middleweight.

Earlier, Lebedev called dictator Vladimir Putin the number one athlete, which caused "Spanish shame" among Russian fans. The former boxer also commented on Usyk's victory over Fury, admiring the Ukrainian.

Putin himself became a laughingstock online after he complained about "pulling money out of Russian families."

As reported by OBOZ.UA, Russia decided to cancel the so-called Friendship Games this year, which were planned as an alternative to the Olympics.
