Earlier, the Olympic champion accused his managers of a long downtime, and when trying to break the agreement, the boxer was given unexpected conditions: Yeleusinov must pay managers about half a million dollars.
The last fight of the Kazakhstani took place in 2021, and before that, the contract with the well-known promotional company Matchroom Boxing was not renewed.
“I usually tell people: don’t tell lies about me and I won’t tell the truth about you. And I don’t want to procrastinate on this topic for a long time. I understand that boxing fans need to know the truth, what is happening, how it happens. There are some stupid things, which we received from his lawyers, too.
First, about the visa moment – it’s funny. Everyone knows that in America you cannot do business without a certain type of visa. I have had this visa for a very long time, and it was done by the same lawyer who did it for him. Since the first day of his career in America, he has not been allowed to fight on a tourist visa. Accordingly, I can not conduct any activity.
About the license: The Florida state license is renewed every year. We simply forgot to update the last license, to be honest. And everything, then updated, everything is fine.
As for the slave contract. I still maintain that he is a slave. And it’s not just me who says this, it can be confirmed by any promotion, any lawyer who understands this. There are sports lawyers in America who do this. He is a slave.
The most interesting thing is when we signed him with Matchroom, at that time we got through the best contract. Anyone can confirm this. It was the best contract, it was our job, not someone else’s. So we were great. As soon as something is wrong, for some reason we are considered swindlers and all that. A little unfair, but the world as a whole is unfair.
As for the contract and the moment that he claims that we did not invest so much in it, all the papers are there. Fortunately, American justice does not believe the words, they need facts. Therefore, all the facts have been transferred to the right place, now the lawyers are talking. If you notice, we never give the first interviews, because lawyers communicate, you can agree on anything there,” Aliyev commented.
Earlier it became known that Yeleussinov intends to sue and terminate cooperation with his managers – Ziya Aliyev, Elvis Crespo and Joe Kyambo.
The 32-year-old Kazakhstani made his professional debut in 2018 and won 11 welterweight fights in 3 years.
It should be noted that the Kazakhstani lost the world championship belt – the IBO took the previously won world welterweight title.
