yuri, what was the most difficult fight in your life, and the fight itself, every fight is difficult, because the guys come out to defeat you, not you, before, when you were little, you came out to defeat them, now they come to defeat you, everyone prepares and every battle is difficult, but the most difficult battle is to defeat yourself. the life story of my guest could become a script for an action movie: bad company, being taken to the police, fights, how it would all end is unknown if it weren’t for sports. today my guest is a five-time champion peace. in kickboxing and thai boxing, yuri

satsuk. yuri, hello, hello, i know that you came to sports very late, 18 years old, what prompted you to change your life so radically? but in fact, we had such a fighting yard, and i was always friends with the older guys, all the guys went in for sports, so the guys went to practice thai boxing, we had a gym there in the area, i was already almost 18 years old. and my friend and i, i always liked to be different from everyone else, and we decided to go to boxing, but we came to boxing, to ordinary classic boxing, ship reserves , we were told that we were already old, whatever you want , pay money, hit the bags, we wanted to fight, try here and there, so we went to practice thai boxing, they took thai boxing on me, i became five times now you will be a world champion in boxing, but they took you to thai boxing, there are no age restrictions. we came simply and even you know so, but

it turned out that i was born into a family, probably not just a poor, beggarly family, we had nothing there, so because of training, in principle, there was also nothing to pay for, and the coach allowed me to go for free, that’s probably why, now i have a lot of guys who also train, i also train , they also do a lot of free training, but there were trainers there, such young guys who are there too

... around us they start at the age of eight, everyone probably has their own body, their own way, there is something else, we don’t know our body, the limit of our body, until we try, but just look, for example, there is - in the circus you can take circus performers there on one hand there they are they’re doing it, but now - my birthday will be on december 25, i’ll be 40 years old, i ’m still fighting, can you imagine, i’m training two times a day and i feel good, and so i’m going to fight, fight and fight, for another year ago i won the bfc belt.

well, in short, it’s interesting, i like to test myself , it will probably be beautifully cool, but how did your parents feel about the fact that you decided to take up thai boxing, mom, but i think that she probably wasn’t happy with what you you might get, you know, probably, at that time, my mother didn’t

have much time to look after me, she worked a lot, she was there, and my father was a military man, an afghan, so he died there, in short, and i was left to my own devices and well, she was like - my mother reacted to this after all, she was always worried about me, i always grew up , mm, 2 years ago, my mother died, but she was always worried, i watched there, i came there all the time, brought some videos there , showed something else there - then she showed interest, well, she was proud of me, i guess i would think that my father would be proud of me too , well, sport is always such an expensive pleasure with

, well, you know that i always follow the example of good people, so when i came to this gym, there were guys there, well, grown-up guys who need there were champions to look up to, and i began to be friends with them, began to look up to them, and that company, those guys who were there, for example , followed me, they followed me there, and those guys who were there, who weren’t with us, some are not with us, they stayed there, they stayed in that life, and i started. example from other guys and not sport, when this moment came, when you saw that i didn’t like that life, that i needed to live a different life, probably if they understood that everything had to end with the street, probably after the first second competitions there, when i felt that i can win and i wanted

to become great, to become a champion, i know that your, so to speak, nickname is pirates, this is from childhood, yes, my favorite movie is pirates of the caribbean. oh yes, i had these, like all his skulls, by the way, your behavior in the ring, it’s also in some way it’s theatrical, there’s a kind of charm, such courage, energy, i like everything to be beautiful, during your sports career you have already had more than 100 fights, and it’s true that you remember, you remember very well each of them, yes, each i remember the fight , i remember every opponent, and you know that with many guys we... here in our country, the whole deputy gathers there, well, 100 is such a decent amount, probably not every athlete achieves, well, you know what i

i just fought everywhere at all the competitions, it was interesting for me to compete there and there’s a competition there, and now i’m here, and this summer i ran a half marathon. i ran a bezon flight, now i’m fighting in boxing with my gloves, that is, well, we don’t know the limit, that’s why 100 fights - that’s me, throw it, throw it, the third round has begun, sarchuk immediately began to attack, he understands that he needs to win, actively , forward, delivering a large number of blows, so that there is no doubt, so that no one can doubt his victory, you won your first national championship in 2003, now 20 years later, and what do you most often do you remember from that final fight, but you

know that the preparation, you probably know, it’s not so simple, it’s just that you, well, it seems, you put on gloves, went to fight, but we live. yes, or to a disco, and you go in the summer in the heat there, you go to this gym to train, and then you are once the champion of the republic, imagine, then you think, oh, why do i need this street, that is, well, this is the motivation, in one of my interview you said that winning the belarusian championship is more difficult than the world championship, do you still think so, of course, we have a very big competition, and when i fought , there were three or four world champions in my weight, can you imagine, here you go... shshurov, he has a very good

team, a good team, we have great motivation, we have this, you know, natural selection , but does this mean that the world cup in 2009 was easier for you than winning the national championship, every fight i had at the championship of the republic, well, of our our country. it was much more difficult than there, they just could, well, it was just such that it was necessary to win so clearly abroad, yes, they treated the belarusians in such a way that if you won, but let’s say you didn’t knock out there or didn’t clearly win there, then they won’t give you the victory, so they will only give theirs there and only a clear advantage, so i had to there, although i always loved and love. to the end, that is, i don’t like knockouts , i just like to win on points, show everyone your skills, how do you prepare yourself

before a fight, do you have some kind of ritual that, well, under no circumstances do you break, no, you you know what for me every fight, i don’t know how for well, i ’ll say about myself, how for me every fight is a holiday, and i always come in a good mood, and when i’m preparing for fights , this is how it is now, and i’m waiting for this, well, for me , in short, this holiday well...

an opponent who could piss you off ? you know, i’m always, if you watched my fights, i’m always calm, and no matter what happens, calm, only calm, but there were provocations, yes, well guys, i ’m fighting my last fights now with many young guys like that, young, impudent, who are burning to defeat you, but i always behave calmly, probably this is the success of my victory. do you manage to be friends with your rivals? yes, i communicate with many people, i am friends with many people, i am always happy to see everyone, and if

necessary, i always help. yuri, what is this story when a toothache helped you win the world championship? yes, you know what , it happened that i, in short, had a toothache, and i’m afraid of their doctors, so we flew to austria, everything was fine, there i won the first fight, won the second fight and even three. i can’t eat, i drink a little cold water, i’m going to go to bed, that is, then just before the fight, a girl says to me, well, i go up to the translator there, she says like this, yuri, let me take you to steal , he’s taking me to the dentist... he’s doing something for me there, and i i immediately go from there to the fight and win, and

i felt that you know, what, what, well, why is everything, well, everything is fine there, yes, but my tooth hurts here and there, and i felt that i should definitely win, when i entered the ring, when they hit me with something else, it seemed to me that it was all nonsense, i just really two nights taught me this way, it’s true that after each fight fighters spend impressive sums on restoring their health, and just take ours - thai boxing, but no, you know that probably more injuries occur in training than in battle, because that we have... a contact sport, and we are ready for the fact that we can be hit hard, as for example, take some kind of team sports or amateur sports, we are ready, we are professionals, we are ready for the fact that we can be beaten , so i will say that in the ring i even, well, i will say, that i have been fighting 20 there for 4 years, for example , i have been fighting for 23, 24 years, i have not had any injuries, in 2008 you switched to

professional sports, and what has changed in your life besides money, but you know what? i have never fought for money, i have always fought and am fighting for the dream of becoming a champion, and i believe that if you fight for money or want to fuck something, then you still won’t have anything, yura, then the question is, what motivated your desire to move into professional sports? and you know that we have thai boxing, you can to perform as professionals and as amateurs, i was still performing as amateurs then, that is, well , it would be interesting to have them show you on tv. friends saw everything, my first professional fight was in a reactor, i won knockouts, they brought a guy there from st. petersburg, he was a finalist of the championship or the world cup in thailand, there in general i was there, and my coaches called me in the morning and said: listen , yura, there’s a replacement, in short, the guy flew off, so they brought a guy from st. petersburg, like, but i’ve never played professionally at all, the fight in the reactor, then there was this

jet boxing, and i knew that they would show me on tv, yes, i say, of course, yes, when... you still want to continue, i still think that i will fight in about five years, some thoughts appear about in order to someday end my career and do something quieter, well, in general, i always wanted to be famous, but no, i will always do it, even at 100 years old, if i

’m interested, in general, i’m interested in everything, i i would like to be some kind of politician, maybe a deputy. i think this is interesting, but namely to engage, you know, to help people , well, of course, to be in good, optimal sports shape for 20 years is quite difficult, how do you maintain yourself physically, and constant training, i train, yes, yes, yes, i have now i was preparing for a fight, i had 11 training sessions a week, and how is this possible, i train in the morning and evening, and train during the day. works as a trainer, you mentioned that it happens there that you need to lose weight the other way around, yes, now i was preparing, i had a diet there, so i didn’t eat enough, before the competition the schedule gets tighter, right? yes, yes, yes, well, i practically don’t hang out there, that is, i go to bed early, don’t talk to girls, and in short, that’s all, i think only about the fight,

coaching, it gives the same passion and adrenaline as during the fight. but in general, well, i’m interested, i have a lot of kids like this now, i train personally, and different kids come , well, actually, they are so cool, lively, in short, but real, i probably like children more, because they are honest, they never lie, i think that probably my strength is not that i fight, that i always tell you i’m telling the truth, these kids here, in short, i look at them there, how they grow, how they come, and how they say, yura, you are so good there...

mm, i love this country, and i always i drown for this country, and there are many good boxers there, many thai boxers there, everyone leaves there for a better life, but we will still be strangers there, no matter how rich you are, you are still a stranger there, that’s why i think that if we all stayed here , we didn’t want to get something from here, but on the contrary, they themselves wanted to give to our country, then there would be 10 of us there. more popular, well , getting back to your coaching work, what would you call your style, uh, is it kind of diplomatic or so tough, authoritarian, but no, i... you know that i behave with everyone for real, we, you know , in training it’s like this, well, as a player, and you somehow stimulate the guys, in training there you highlight some better, maybe

transferable prizes, i don’t know, but no, you probably know, what motivates me is that i fight myself, train myself, they watch how i train, how hard it is, and want to imitate me, well, that is, i’m an authority for them, if you know, i walked there with a fat belly and there’s no idea, and such a person would walk there, you know , command there, this is this, they look at me that i’ve walked this path and want to repeat it this, that is, well, i have many friends who are my same age there, they can’t do five push-ups there, there’s something else, and they come to my training and say: listen, yura, what’s wrong, in a year i’ll arrange i need to spar with someone there, you know, i motivated them so much, and before that they were there could do five push-ups, working with children , what does it give you, but i don’t have s... there are no children in the family, so it somehow happened, yes, but these children, they become friends for me, i like them i really love them there , like my brothers, in short, if

you look at my instagram there, in short, you go there, i play around with them there, they write there, but i don’t know, well, i say that i like them, because they are honest, children don’t lie, they are real, you are not only a coach, you are a teacher, well, yes, i have a pedagogical education, bsu fc, now i i am undergoing advanced training. so, at work you prefer adrenaline, but how do you prefer to relax, unwind? you know that i love going to the cinema, i even go to the cinema alone, i have my friend, my older brother, although he is 10 years younger than me , chengi zalazov, now in the world he is the coolest there, and his parents they think that everyone is told that i am the second son, we have been friends with him for probably 14 or 15 years. now - and it happens there when he has his own, well , he has time from training, from his family, he got married, so we spend time together,

we go to the cinema, we have lunch somewhere , we drink coffee, in short, we go for a walk, we remember our childhood life, how you messed around there, so we have such a fun day there at the cinema there, and i like to play the console at my place there is a sony playstation there is a fifth eviar there , in short, i don’t know, i guess i was preparing now, you know what, but for... i just had a rest, just to be at home , so as not to go anywhere, but i train on sunday and there on saturday, i train, so it turns out constantly, and sometimes you just want you didn’t have to go anywhere in the evening , they ask me how you rest, but i don’t get tired, i don’t stress, for me it’s not work, which means, well, many people, this is me going to work, but for me it’s just this i 'm going to get high at training, if every person at least for one day took care of their own business, they are loved... business, it would probably be the happiest day, it's just that many people do not what they love, there, but i do what what i love, can you afford to come to a crowded place

without being noticed, you know that on the contrary i love go to all sorts of places where they don’t know me, i recently went for a walk, and my friend says to me: listen, yuri, let’s go, there’s a billiard room in our area, i say, let’s go to this, well, this area, in short, a boy’s place there - here, in short, we come in, i’m there in a suit, so we sat down there. and it’s probably about two o’clock in the morning there, and there the guys, in short , are playing billiards, listen to them, come here, you know how to play there, i say, no, i don’t know how, oh bro, come on, that was so friendly , brotherly, never there you came there you yura sotstsu, here it’s just you for they were jurassic and everything there was so bad, in short, well, cool, so you come there, when they recognize you, people are already there with you, well, yes, differently, yes, yes, and they think that i am such a, well, boxer, that there’s nothing else to talk about with me other than sports, and then he starts talking to me and they say, never in my life. that you are a boxer, yuri, you are a five-time world champion, everyone would be lucky, but do you still have ambitions to fight

and win the world championship more than once, but to become a world champion or an olympic champion in boxing, so i would like to in fact, of course, of course i wanted to, i really loved it when i fought for my country, i loved it when they raised our flag. well, more than professional fights, at least professional fights, well, it’s more beautiful there, there are cameras, then movement, that’s it, but i liked more the compassion when you travel with your team, when the team is rooting for you, the country is rooting for you , that is , well, this is how it feels, that yes, such patriotism, yura there they are calling you there, yura, there we are for you and it seems like they are all nearby standing there, our team is there, you know , such a confrontation of characters, as i said. this is interesting, of course, this is probably more, probably cool. yuri, thank you for the conversation, and the last question, yes, yes, our program is called the meaning of life,

for you, what is the meaning of life? life for me is the meaning of life, you know, that to enjoy life, to love life, and to do what you love, yeah, but to be healthy, to wake up and there so that the sun is shining, to rejoice from this, but i will say this, in my blackout, to be a happy person , that's probably for for me the meaning of life, but to be healthy, and for my mother to always be alive, well it so happened that she died, well... well, thank you very much, thank you, this was the meaning of yuri satsuka’s life. as you know, before a competition you need to warm up thoroughly and warm up all your muscles. by the way, the same applies to the head. the participants of this show believe that

it is necessary to pump. not only muscles, but also the brain. what is the metal rod of a barbell called? alexander, vulture, vulture, of course, friends, let's join in. they compete to see which of them is more savvy, intellectually. about what sport in the uk they say that it is an exchange of opinions using gestures? by the way, our time has come to an end.

probably, to control the work of the servants, the most important thing is that we experience vivid emotions. well, what could a woman do in such an outfit? guys, how did i fit into your team, take it? yes, i’m really thinking about buying a jacuzzi, i’ll add milk and honey to it every evening and feel gagged, the project route has been built, watch it

on the tv channel. i have 24.
