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.
