Shocking recent kov interview from russia 110% honest

[aldo5408]

summary of Kovalev's recent interview
NOT MY TRANSLATION
in Russia's SportExpress. You omitted a number of things there, where he used to rob drunken strangers, is a petty thief (stolen biscuits episode, stolen iphone), had repeatedly publicly promised and not paid Simakov's family for several years, after allegedly paying them 10 grand for killing their son, but not bothering to check whether they received the money, so on and so forth.
He didn't have any support in the Russian system because he is an ******* with a sense of entitlement and illusions of grandeur, *****ing and whining about others conspiring and robbing him of opportunities.

Translation from someone else

rough childhood, grew up in a drug infested city, lost his stepfather early, mother working many jobs just to keep them fed and clothed
did some things he wasn't proud off, like stealing shoes and valuables of passed out factory workers who had a few too many after a days work
at 13 years of age find revenge on some bullies that put a knife to him when he was 10 after learning boxing.
no support as an amateur, was always delegated as a backup in regional and national tournaments, lost many fights on points that he clearly won
doesn't regret it though, if he had gone to the Olympics and won, that would have been the end for him, turning pro gsve him new motivation
unreal faith in Kovalev from his manager, Egis Klimas, who sunk 400,000 dollars into him before seeing a return
living in Ame rica, before making it big, got arrested for shoplifting at a grocery store over a 5 dollar bag of cookies. Later on got booked and spent time in jail for finding an iPhone on the street, throwing out the Sim card, and putting in his own. Woke up next morning and cops were at his door. Was close to serving 6 months to a year, but manager bailed him out and charges were supposedly dropped.
the death of Simakov is what got him on Kathy Duva's radar, otherwise he probably would have failed
hates Pascal, derived pleasure from beating his assistant the second time even though he hurt his hand doing it. Doesn't respect boxers who don't admit defeat.
betrebiev believes he won it clean and fair vs Kovalev, "while being sick", thinks too much of himself
pascal didn't make good on their bet, owes 50,000 to a children's charity, thinks he is a piece of **** and if this was russia that money would magically materialize, but this is America and you're not allowed to "touch people"
wore bigger gloves against chilmBea to save them for ward
truly believes ward fight is 50/50, not afraid of his power but knows that he will be annoying


MY THOUGHTS
Have to respect a man that is honest plus learns from his mistakes.
