Montreal-based Beterbiev looking for more after taking IBF title
MONTREAL — Only five days after winning the International Boxing Federation light heavyweight title, Artur Beterbiev was back at work.
It seems that the Russian, who has been based in Montreal since 2013, is not big on partying.
“When I have a choice of where to be, in the bar or in the gym, I prefer the gym,” Beterbiev said Thursday through an interpreter at the Rival boxing gym. “I’d like to continue to win and to achieve this, I have to be at the gym as often as possible.”
Trainer Marc Ramsay said the 32-year-old celebrated his win by going back to his hotel room, having a meal and some black tea, and going to bed.
