Any follow up news on Denis Boytsov?

Post by Ilya Muromets »

Wikipedia:

"On 3 May 2015 Boytsov was found unconscious in a Berlin subway tunnel. Due to a severe head injury he was placed in a medically induced coma for seven weeks, and will unlikely return to professional boxing. Ramzan Kadyrov agreed to cover Boytsov's medical bills after his banks accounts were blocked.[1]

Boytsov lived in Germany for more than 10 years before the accident, which was initially related to his boxing activities, as he received multiple death threats in 2013.[2] German court later ruled that Boytsov fell on tracks while being intoxicated.[1]"


There are a lot of reasons to believe that German court was part of a cover up.

Nobody knows, huh? Nothing that I can find online either. Strange. I've never heard Boytsov's side of the story. They were saying he couldn't talk. Couldn't he communicate in other ways, like write? What about now? Can he still not tallk? What exactly transpired at that German trial?

He was a drinker, but subway platforms aren't very high and a drunk young guy in top physical condition - this is what the official story was - should have bounced right back up if he slipped off. Eyewitnesses reportedly saw him being attacked by a group of men. What happened to that? And he had reportedly been getting threats from gangsters.

This is the most recent news I can find, Dec 2017.

"Some dude beat him on the head with a lead pipe and gave him brain damage."

Yeah, except I heard it was several dudes, that's how you get severe brain injuries, not from slipping off a subway platform feet first while drunk - assuming of course a train isn't coming. So why have they censored that out and changed it into an accidental slip, if that's what they did at the trial?

April 2019:

translated by google:

How is Denis now told in an interview to Sport-Express his wife Olga.

“Unfortunately not so good. There is a positive dynamics, motility, but Denis is still in a lying state. Fingers, hands move, it can move a little, there is motility. But he does not get up or talk. Doctors say that there are very few chances for any positive changes. But I believe in a miracle. We are constantly changing the team of therapists, and Denis’s relatives are very helpful. He feels good when his dad and brother come. He feels how he is motivated, and in his condition the most important thing is motivation. Speech therapists are now engaged in it, they are developing it, ”admitted Olga.

What's the link to that, Greg? I hope it isn't really dated April 2019 but rather shortly after it happened.

Unfortunately it does seem to be current. He is another Mago Abdusalamov, but not caused in a boxing ring but by a criminal attack. It appears that criminal attack was covered up at the German trial and they ran with the cover story that he was drunk and fell off the subway platform. Boxing is a very very dirty buusiness and it always has been but instead of getting better it just gets worse.

The "suicide" of Venezuelan boxing sensation Edwin Valero is another criminal boxing cover up.

I don't know about the first two - tell me about them - but Liston was almost certainly murdered by the mob with which he was heavily involved. They found him od'd on heroin. He was a thug criminal but he didn't use heroin. He knew too much, like about the two fake Ali fights for instance.

His friends and family said that Liston was terrified of needles.

Yeah, i read a book about it once.

Argentine heavyweight Oscar Bonavena shot to death on the grounds of a Nevada cat house. He had reported death threats (as had Valero and Boytsov) and had planned to return to Argentina the next day.

Foley and Gatti both died young in unexplained circumstances.

Many were implicated in the brain damage that Abdusalamov suffered, but none were even censured.

The boss of the Polish mafia, Golota's companion at his traing camp for Grant, was promptly bumped off upon his return to Poland following Golota throwing the fight.

Everybody now knows about the fate of Russian cruiserweight Sergei Kobozev.

There are many many more bad stories in the Wonderful World of Boxing.

He probably wanted it. It's better than a hospital gown. He looks so young. His face is the same, better actually. He looks better and younger now that his face isn't red and swollen from drinking. 5 1/2 years ago the world was his oyster. He was on tap for the world heavyweight championship fight with Wlad, but then he shockingly lost a tuneup fight to Alex Leapai who got the big fight instead. Dangerous freaking planet this one is. Everything can change in an instant.

"The exact circumstances that put Boytsov in this position are still not well known"



Denis Boytsov - Birthday with the family

Published February 14, 2018 | By Johannes Passehl

On February 14, former heavyweight boxer Denis Boytsov spent his 32nd birthday with his family. He is in a German rehabilitation clinic and is treated there on an ongoing basis. The physicians believe there is hope that his condition will continue to stabilize and slowly improve.



Denis Boytsov was long considered one of the best junior heavyweights. He had worked his way up with the help of the Sauerland boxing stable and qualified for a title fight against Wladimir Klitschko. To keep him busy until then, he went on 23 November 2013 against the Australian Alex Lepai in the ring. Boytsov had been unbeaten in 33 matches so far, and hardly anyone thought in advance that this would change in the 34th fight. Apparently, the highly motivated Australian had been completely underestimated and Boytsov went badly prepared for the fight. Boytsov had to 2x to the ground and lost the fight with 98:90 and 2x 96:92. Leapai "inherited" the challenge right and later defeated Klitschko by TKO 5. Boytsov was then still 3x in the ring and won these bouts.

On the night of May 2 to 3, 2015, Boytsov's fate should turn badly. He was found by a subway driver lying in the track bed between the Berlin railway stations Bismarckstraße and Wilmersdorfer Straße. He was found there with a shattered skull and it was not clear if he would survive. After 7 weeks of coma, he did not react at waking up and he was in an absent twilight state. To put it bluntly, he floated between heaven and earth, between alive and alive dead. The progress of his recovery dragged on. Here is an "interim report" of the "Hamburger Abendblatt" of April 2016, one year after the incident that forever changed the world of Denis Boytsov: (Click)

The exact circumstances that put Boytsov in this position are still not well known. That Boytsov will never box again only plays a minor role. His family and friends do not give up hope for recovery. He recognizes his wife and also knows his at the time of his injury unborn daughter. His condition reminds of Eduard Gutknecht. Both are struggling with their consequences for the most serious head injuries throughout their lives.

One can only wish Denis Boysov and his small family that his condition can get better. Even if nothing will be as it once was.

If he can't speak can he not communicate by writing or hitting computer keys or even just blinking yes or no to the question was he beaten by men with iron pipes?

He is still only in horizontal position, he can't speak. he can move his fingers. The only person from boxing world who keeps in touch with Denis' wife Olga and is interested in Boytsov's situation, is trainer Ulli Wegner.

Either that, or you're mentally unhinged and prone to believing everything is a bunch of cover-ups.

Edwin Valero. Valero had made numerous complaints to the police in Venezuela that both him and his wife's lives were being threatened. Then his wife was found dead and they charged him with the crime and locked him in a jail cell alone and then they found him dead in it, or so they said. There was - and amazingly still is - an incredibly bizarre video online which appears to have been taken by the officials that found his body in the cell. How such a thing got on public internet I don't know. It shows his naked body on the jail cell floor. Draped over a corner of a wall or something is a pair of jeans. It is said that he hung himself with his jeans. I don't know if it is possible to hang oneself like that. His face isn't discolored as it might be from strangulation.
