Former cruiserweight champion Grigory Drozd of Russia published a post on Instagram in support of the Russian occupation of Ukraine and the killing of its civilians.

“I was born and lived in a country that was respected, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Then it was taken away, and a new one was built all together for 30 long years, and now, in difficult conditions, a country is born that returns its place. It does not live and act the way his so-called Western partners would like. We don't have them now. We were and are our own masters. It's not easy, but it's very important. We paid a high price for the lessons of trust, you only need to believe in yourself, in your people, in your country, in your future. Together we will win!" appears on Drozd's page.
