The agent of the 34-year-old ace, Obrad Fimić, described what happened and emphasized that by a miracle his client avoided the worst. “Alexei and his wife had gone out to eat in the center of Moscow. Then, when they went outside, a group of young men started challenging them for no reason. He was clearly intoxicated. Alexei realized this and therefore wanted to avoid the episode, since he is a calm person. But they decided to start a fight and attacked him, four or five against one. After one hit, he fell and hit his head on the pavement. He suffered an open wound and brain injury, with fractured skull bones and a concussion! Luckily he survived. Maybe it helped that he is a professional athlete“, he emphasized.

As for the motives of the perpetrators? “I do not know. Perhaps the sense of impunity? The motives are unknown, but these people should be severely punished. I hope they are identified, arrested and brought to justice for appropriate punishment“, he said.
