“My childhood was stormy, like all children in the 90s, especially those living in the regions. There was everything: fights, wrong examples, drug addiction / alcoholism among young people, lack of normal earnings and prospects. And in this environment on the street we grew up. Add to this youthful enthusiasm, raging hormones, the desire to express oneself in the youth environment - all this hurricane of events and passions could send me on the wrong path," wrote the fighter.
In his last fight Mineev beat Magomed Ismailov.
