It should be noted that Zeinulinov returned to boxing after a long layoff when he had to work as a courier.
"It turns out that he was giving up his sport. Having lost at the Kazakhstan Championship and being fired from his salary, Ertugan, who had just started his family, went to work as a courier. Yes, he delivered food around the metropolis on a bicycle.
Until the personal trainer of the Oralbay brothers, Askar Erkebayev, accidentally saw him. He told the promising athlete to return to the gym again," Ayan Tolegen, head of the press service of the sports development directorate, said about Zeinulinov in his Telegram channel.
On December 24, the Kazakhstan Boxing Championship ends in Karaganda.
