And after all the competitor was very worthy. However did without bruises. It is lined nothing, it isn't broken, I absolutely fresh. Perhaps, it didn't have a functionality, but it was loaded on fight".

- On April 27 you already won a victory in this hall. You feel any difference?

- This time more audience came noticeably. And as a whole action, was illuminated much better. I met in the city a set of boards, including with the image that was very pleasant. I think all comers aren't sorry about spent time.

- Whether you will appear on the following tournament within W5 which will pass in Moscow on December 22?

- Let's look, probably, in December I and will appear, but I think that I will take a break and I will be engaged in "iron". After all before fights it is impossible to shake. Further with new to start preparing for fights.

- You often travel where most of all it was pleasant to you?

- Most of all I love Thailand where everything is impregnated with spirit of single combat where boxing perceive as I want. Locals feel in Thai boxing like a duck to water. They since the childhood are engaged of. Thais smile, laugh when beat on paws - do it without rage. All this occurs is so harmonic that each time when I come there, I am loaded with energy.

- At the beginning of October you successfully debuted in the mixed single combats/MMA/. Whether you are going to repeat this experiment?

- The mixed single combats are very interesting to me. Let's look, everything depends on sentences. But it is natural, it not the last my fight. I think, soon I will carry out one more duel to MMA.

- Despite abundance of trainings and competition, you still manage to study …

- Yes, on the psychologist, next year I plan to gain the diploma. Me the sporting psychology very interests. Unfortunately, at us in the country very few sporting psychologists. This sphere is in Russia at an embryo stage. The few understand that is necessary for the athlete. In addition to "physics" there is a mental component and it is at least important, than technique, a functionality. I try to read all literature on this discipline. However it is possible to read much, but not to be able to use the knowledge in real life. I try to combine practice with the theory.

- Probably, all recognize you in higher education institution, after all you quite often appear on TV?

- At institute I happen not so often as I study remotely. And classmates hardly are interested in boxing, a kickboxing.

- And on the street?

- I move around the city by the subway. In the morning and I go on training in the evening. I get up early, however, an organism not always wakes up together with me. Usually I go in earphones, having covered with the book therefore I can simply not note that occurs around. But here last time the girl approached to me, sat down nearby and asked: Whether "The events confuse me? " I came off the book and looked back – the company of men, on the contrary, looked at me, roughly that - that discussed and laughed.

- To psychology study you studied as the designer, there was an interest to this field of activity?

- As it is possible to forget about business to which you lit six years of the life. All day long I drew, at the nights sent away collections. At first, when I left study, couldn't touch generally a pencil, but now again I draw. For itself, on inspiration, it is very pleasant. And if there are any opportunities, sentences, I surely implement the creative plans.

- You have six tattoos, ideas for which you invent. Tell, please, about that two that at you on ступнях.

- They are made in style of a classical Japanese tattoo, i.e. half from where are taken, half finished. On the left foot I figured a blue lotus in water waves. By the way, one of my favourite flowers and in Thailand it very much love. The Lotus grows from silt, breaks through thickness of the turbid water that then to show the fine bud. And on the right foot at me a peony - the single "man's" flower. It symbolizes militancy, hardness, courage. And together these two tattoos for me symbolize harmony - female and man's, spiritual and physical force.

- You are the active user of social networks?

- In the modern world not to do in any way without the Internet, social networks. As well as the majority, I correspond with acquaintances with whom there is no opportunity to meet in real life. Also I communicate with admirers to whom always I try to respond. For me it is important that children change for the better, realization of is pleasant that these sports are necessary to someone. I am written by girls to whom owing to stereotypes didn't allow to be engaged in single combats earlier. But after video viewing with my involvement their parents release the daughters. For the sake of it it is worth doing something, to win. I am motivated by that fact that I inspire someone.

- What is necessary for promoting of single combats among girls?

- I not from those people who say that girls, let's be engaged in boxing. It is wrong! Rigid types of single combats not for all. If the girl considers that it fashionably and goes to a hall for the sake of pink gloves and beautiful children, she there will for a while be delayed. And if you feel that this yours, but people around appear against, don't pay attention and do favorite thing. I try to be engaged in promoting of sports and together with W5 I do everything from myself possible as I don't want to see drinking young people.

- Not far off New year, vacation for all country, you will give the chance to yourself to have a rest?

- I at all don't love all these salads dressed with mayonnaise, Russian salad, a herring under a fur coat, champagne. It doesn't attract me. In protein evening cocktail on the occasion of a holiday it is possible to add berries any. Certainly, some days, probably, I will have a rest, I won't train. Though you shouldn't think. As the trainer will tell, and will be.
