Chimaev interrupted communication with Haney due to racist remarks

Dmitriy Kel Oct. 2, 2023, 6:50 a.m.

Undefeated UFC fighter Khamzat Chimaev told why he decided to stop communicating with the unified world lightweight boxing champion Devin Haney.

“We communicated with Haney, but I unfollowed him on Instagram. He's too arrogant. He said, “It’s unforgivable for me to lose to a white guy.” It was racist.

If I say that I will lose to a black man, the whole world will say that Khamzat does not like blacks. Black or white - what's the difference? We are all the same. When a black person talks about it, it’s no big deal, but if I talk about it, the whole world will talk about it. “I have both black and white friends, it doesn’t matter to me,” Chimaev said.

Let us remind you that on October 21, at the UFC 294 tournament in Abu Dhabi, UAE, Chimaev will fight with Paulo Costa.
