Levan Shonia (15-12, 11 KOs), a journeyman from Georgia living in Kiev, who became the hero of the scandalous episode with "beating his own coach" last weekend, commented on the situation that had developed in the ring in the fight against the local Spas Genov (10 0, 7 KOs) on October 27 at a boxing evening in Sofia, Bulgaria, and named the reasons that made him lose his temper.
Georgian middleweight Levan Shonia punched the man, who was in his corner, after being defeated by Spas Genov. Their 6-round meeting took place on October 27 in Sofia on the undercard of Kubrat Pulev vs Hughie Fury.
