The parents of a two-year-old boxer from Vladivostok told about their son's training sessions

Two-year-old boxer Demyan Igeshev from Vladivostok shows interest in training himself, he is not forced. Alexander, the boy's father, who works as a boxing coach, told Izvestia about this on April 23.

"Whatever example you're setting, that's how it's going to be. Strength, speed, and power are all there. And he has a good reaction," said the father.

According to his father, Demyan spends time in the gym almost from birth. The boy puts on gloves himself, brings his paws and asks them to hold them. Alexander does not force his son to study professionally — he just wants him to be able to stand up for himself and be confident.

The boy's mother admitted that the family did not expect such a stir around the footage of practicing strikes published on social networks. They had previously posted videos of Demyan's workouts, and the subscribers praised them, but this is the first video that glorified the young athlete.
