Didn’t know him personally, but I respected what he was fighting for. He wanted to bring his family to the states for a better life, and I fully respect that. Sadly his life was cut short, and I can only imagine what his loved ones are going through. My condolences to his family pic.twitter.com/61vtLFQdKz

There can be no argument. Boxing took the life of Maxim Dadashev. Such tragedies will continue to happen as long as boxing exists. It's up to each of us to face that reality and decide whether or not it's worth the price.
