Karalahti’s indifference rubs the promoter.
F2F boxing event promoter Omos “OPA” Okko wonders about the use of Jere Karalahti at a Wednesday press conference.
During the event, Karalahti answered the Okko questions in one word and refused to speak to the microphone, “because he is a heterosexual.”
The promoter would have wished Karalahti a bigger contribution.
– That’s really embarrassing. It looked as if he had come here, Okäki says.
– Many have the impression that events are full by name. All this requires work. It’s not that you just sit down and crumble, he continues.

According to Okko, it has been difficult to work with Karalahti anyway.
– There have been a lot of ohars and indifferent behavior. It’s really hard to get in touch with Jere, he says.
– I think everyone has to respond. Here [lehdistötilaisuudessa] However, there are a lot of people.
Karalahti himself left the event with little voice when the official share was over. He did not even answer the promoter Arslan Khataev’s calls.
Khataev says he accepted that Karalahti is who is.
“We have forgiven Jere many times and understood him,” Khataev says.
– Jere had only a bad day today. Maybe he had his own concerns or sorrows.

In the past, F2F even planned the replacement of Karalahti in the main match. He was replaced by the familiar Ice Cage promotion Joni “Stagala” Takala.
The opponent of Karalahti, bodybuilder Matias Niemenhowever, the match pair remained unchanged when an ex-hockey player temporarily put the nipple in the nest in the marketing of the match.
– At that time, the tickets did not sell as desired. I was talked about that the opponent would change to Stagala and was agreed for 87 pounds. Then I weighed 98 pounds, Niemi says.
– However, we decided to look at the situation in June. Then there was a bit of a show on the story and the tickets started selling.
The peninsula, which competed in bodybuilding, was already ready to lose weight.
– Dating is not new to me, but it should have burned the muscle mass.
– Stagala wouldn’t have realized that I would have just become a better boxer when I had cut muscle mass.
