Chronicle
Russian boxer Dmitry Pirog won the WBO middleweight championship belt. In the title fight with another contender, American Daniel Jacobs, Pirog won by knockout in the fifth round. “After the second round, I realized that I would win,” Dmitry said after the fight. “Then I hit it well and knew that sooner or later I would have another opportunity for a good hit. In any case, I’m glad I was able to take the title.”
Thus, 30-year-old Pirog won the 17th victory in his career and, with no defeats, became the only Russian athlete who now holds the title of world champion in one of the prestigious versions of professional boxing.
