The "Grozny" TV Channel has issued a story to prove the fair victory of Adam Kadyrov, a Ramzan Kadyrov's son, at the boxing tournament. Instagram users treat the reporters as biased.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that Adam Kadyrov, 13, defeated Aslan Bittirov, a fighter from Kabardino-Balkaria, at the tournament. Social network users have treated the referee's actions as forced ones.

The authors of many publications about the Kadyrov-Bittirov boxing fight have indicated that the referee began counting the knockdown, although Bittirov did not touch the floor with his hand or knee.

Many readers of the Instagram public eldit_net have also noted that the "Grozny" TV Channel had incorrectly covered the fight.

Ramzan Kadyrov's sons had earlier taken part in fights; for example, during the mixed martial arts (MMA) Grand Prix Akhmat 2016 tournament in Grozny, three of them also won their fights, one of which ended in a knockout. The coach and the father of the knocked out child said the fights had been staged.
