Professional boxing. Dzhabrail Dzhabrailov: I was in the same prison with Raduev Dzhabrail Dzhabrailov kickboxer where he comes from

Two-time world champion combat sambo Dzhabrail Dzhabrailov was shot the day before in the Southwestern District of Moscow. Point blank. In order to detain the murder suspect, the guardians of the law even had to turn around the plane that took off from Sheremetyevo to Baku.

Last minutes The life of Dzhabrail Dzhabrailov was captured on CCTV cameras. The recording found on the Internet shows a Ford Mondeo parked on Miklouho-Maclay Street. After some time, the rear doors of the car swing open and a man falls to the ground. This is Dzhabrailov. Then a man jumps out of the same car and quickly leaves the crime scene.

The world-famous athlete died from a bullet fired into the chest. Passers-by found him in a pool of his own blood and called the police.

The owner of a cafe located next to the ill-fated parking lot near the Belyaevo shopping center recognized the murdered man as his regular customer. According to the restaurateur, Dzhabrailov constantly came to drink tea with friends, and they had long conversations.

The night before everything went according to a similar scenario. However, this time there was one more person in the close company of friends. The kickboxer went outside with him and never returned. Dzhabrailov’s comrades recognized the alleged killer as an athlete who worked part-time as a debt bouncer, Kavkaz Today reports.

Hot on their heels, law enforcement officers quickly identified the attacker. It turned out to be Marat Kuramagomedov. He is also a Dagestani by nationality, a boxer. 32 years old. The athlete was detained at Sheremetyevo airport. From here he tried to fly to Baku. Kuramagomedov had to be filmed directly from the plane.

According to preliminary data, money was the motive for the murder. Kuramagomedov lent Dzhabrailov a large sum, which he never returned. During a bloody tete-a-tete in the car, the boxer again tried to convince the debtor to pay off. However, Dzhabrailov apparently refused. As a result, the attacker opened fire from a Makarov pistol, which he kept illegally. Shot point-blank right in the heart. Dzhabrailov did not have a single chance to survive, the Moscow Ministry of Internal Affairs reports.

According to Deputy Cheryomushkinsky Interdistrict Prosecutor Alexander Yagovitin, a criminal case has already been opened against the detainee under two articles: “Murder” and “Illegal acquisition of weapons.”

It is worth noting that Dzhabrail Dzhabrailov himself also dealt with crime before. At the beginning of the 2000s, he was convicted of illegal possession of weapons. True, the fighter did not admit his guilt. He served his punishment and returned to the ring. And after completion sports career he began working as a coach in Makhachkala.

As Life found out, Dzhabrail Dzhabrailov, who was killed today, was not a world champion in either boxing or kickboxing.

“Very sad news,” said today famous fighter MMA Batu Khasikov in an interview with the media about the murder of a man in a parking lot, who turned out to be Dzhabrail Dzhabrailov. - Dzhabrail and I met on the set of the film “Shadowboxing 2”. I remember him as a very charismatic person - bright, bright. He was open-minded, had a good sense of humor and a strong spirit."

The media were in a hurry - and together with Khasikov they “buried” another Dzhabrailov, a 44-year-old ex-world champion and 4-time Russian boxing champion. It was he who worked as a consultant on the set of the film.

The dead man actually turned out to be 33-year-old Dzhabrail Atayevich Dzhabrailov, ex-2005 world champion and 2006 vice-world champion in combat sambo in the up to 82 kg category.

The confusion arose due to the fact that Dzhabrailov was initially called a “two-time world champion in kickboxing.”

44-year-old boxer Dzhabrailov was really into kickboxing at the beginning of his career. But this hobby was only an episode; he was not seriously involved in this type of martial arts.

In fact, the intersection of destinies between two fighters with the same first and last names is simply mystical...

According to preliminary investigative data, today's murder was committed by ex-boxer Marat Kuramagomedov. The reason is a quarrel over the fact that Dzhabrailov did not return the borrowed money.

The fate of boxer Dzhabrailov turned out to be broken in a very similar situation - except that a debt not repaid on time turned out to be a prison sentence for him...

He made his debut in the professional ring on March 3, 1996. He performed well, won the Russian championship three times in the weight category up to 79 kg. But in 2001, an event happened that turned his fate around. Yes, what turned and broke...

The beginning of the 2000s was a hectic time, recalls Zyaki Yunisov, Dzhabrailov’s former promoter. - In 2001, Jab became the world champion, knocking out South African Reneur Dorfling with a cool blow to the liver. He assumed that after such a successful fight he would earn a lot... And against his future earnings he borrowed a large sum of money. He couldn’t return it in time - and in the end, it seemed, he went to a meeting with his creditors with a pistol in his pocket. And at this meeting the police were waiting for him...

Dzhabrailov himself, in one of his interviews, even claimed that the police planted the pistol on him.

Be that as it may, he had to serve almost two years in prison.

He was an excellent boxer,” continues Yunisov. - There was even an idea to organize his fight with Roy Jones. But after prison he was unable to return to his previous level. He continued to box for some time - and even won the Russian Championship for the fourth time. But in 2004 he lost to Pole Tomasz Adamek - and at the age of 31 he ended his career...

The Dzhabrailov fighters are unlucky...

At the end of 2001, Dzhabrailov was considered one of the most promising Russian professional boxers. He won the title of Russian champion three times, and in the spring of 2001 he won the intercontinental world champion belt, which was brought to him by his victory in Moscow over the South African Rainier Dorfling.
Dzhabrailov was ranked 19th in the ranking of the best light heavyweights in the world according to the WBC, and everyone predicted a great future for the 27-year-old boxer. However, at first something went wrong with the organization of fights in defense of the title, and then unexpected news followed. Dzhabrail was detained on the territory of the All-Russian Exhibition Center, as if a pistol was found in his pocket, and he was arrested. A couple of months later it became known that the athlete was sentenced to three years.
Eyewitnesses and Dzhabrailov's lawyers claimed that the detention was staged and the weapon was planted on the boxer. Representatives of the authorities assured that the arrest of the athlete was the result of a routine inspection. Anyway, Russian boxing risked losing a talented fighter. And if we consider that the level of our professional boxing is not very high now, then this loss would be very noticeable.
But exactly a year later, the ex-champion was released and declared his determination to re-enter the ring and win back his lost titles. Within the next few months, he plans to take part in a professional match between Russia and the USA, and at the end of the year he will try to again become the holder of the title of intercontinental champion. True, now in the super-middle category (76 kg): in captivity, Dzhabrail lost weight.

The pistol in the photo and the special forces trainer

The other day, an MS correspondent met with a boxer at the billiard club at the Olimpiysky Sports Complex. Dzhabrailov spoke about the days of imprisonment and the events that preceded it.
- Dzhabrail, do you strongly feel that you spent a year “out of the game”?
- Thank God, the conclusion passed without any special consequences for me, I didn’t get sick with anything and even managed to keep in shape there. I think I just need to train for two or three months and everything will be fine.
How did you manage to stay in shape?
“I quickly found a common language with the prison authorities. They themselves began to look for contacts with me as soon as they found out that I famous boxer. They even asked me to train a local special forces team, which regularly participated in competitions. Thus, I myself received an excellent opportunity to keep in shape. Well, of course, he worked with sandbags as punching bags, and went jogging regularly...
-Can you now reconstruct the events of a year ago?
- It all started with the fact that I borrowed a large sum of money from one serious person, planning to repay the debt after several fights. But there was no way to organize these fights. Accordingly, there was no money, and the debt continued to hang on me. The lender constantly called and reminded me about the money, and eventually invited me to his office. I drove off without a second thought, but as soon as I got out of the car, they grabbed me, threw me face down into the snow and took me somewhere. They planted a pistol in my pocket, which I had only seen in photographs. I asked the investigators: “Show me at least what they found on me.” In general, I think they set me up on all sides. I spent six months in “Matrosskaya Tishina”, then ended up in the Krasnopresnensk transit prison. I was sentenced to three years, that is, “they gave me the maximum.” Although I have a dependent child and retired parents, and my mother is generally disabled. As a result, I was sent to Solikamsk. There I ended up in a prison with the poetic name "White Swan". In the same place where the terrorist Raduev was sitting. True, he was in a building for life-sentence prisoners, and I was in the neighboring one. I happened to watch how the coffin with his body was carried into a truck.

Weird entertainment

- In what conditions were you kept?
- Well, what conditions can there be in prison... Difficult, of course. True, in the cell where I lived, they were more or less there. In others, 100 people were packed, although they were designed for only 60. People slept there in three shifts. At first, for about two months, I worked 13 hours a day along with everyone else. The wagons were unloaded, the forest was felled. I was tired, of course.
When good relations were established with the administration, they gave me an easier job. And then he just trained.
The management treated me with respect. They let me go on dates more often and made other concessions. Once they suggested: “Do you want to see how Raduev washes the floor?” There is such entertainment: gawking at other people's humiliations. Naturally, I refused. Why do I need this?
- Did any incidents happen in the cell?
- Someone was constantly fighting with someone for various reasons. Sometimes it just got to the point of insanity - fights happened because someone was banging a spoon too loudly on a bowl or slurping. I tried not to communicate with anyone. Moreover, the public there are rapists, murderers, drug addicts. But one day I had to hit one person when he, without thinking, blurted out too much. Basically he behaved very calmly, trying to keep a low profile. And, in the end, he achieved parole.
- Did you maintain contact with the outside world from prison?
- Yes, I talked to a lot of friends. Well, some people, for example, completely forgot about my existence. It was then that I drew conclusions: who is worth dating in the future and who is not.
And now I only think about successfully continuing my career.

A little over a year ago all sports world shocked by the news: famous professional boxing er Dzhabrail JABRAILOV was detained with a pistol in his hands. There were rumors about his criminal connections. Then there was a trial. And the sentence is three years in prison. And just a month ago, Dzhabrail again entered the Moscow ring. He told our correspondent about his misadventures.

What really happened in the sensational story with the pistol?

Nothing unusual. This is often practiced here. They couldn’t slip me drugs because they knew that I was an athlete and didn’t use them. They found another way - they planted weapons. A gun I've never seen before. - Where was it?- On the territory of the All-Russian Exhibition Center. In winter, just before the New Year, 2002. My friends invited me there for a business meeting. They told me the time and place. And there everything was already organized, they were waiting.

In professional boxing, intrigues are woven not only in the ring, but also outside it. Maybe you had enemies? - I don’t know whose particular interest it was. Of course, different thoughts arose. Yes, to be honest, I don’t want to think about it now. I no longer have contact with the old circle of people; I have completely moved away from those whom I knew before this story. I now have other friends, a new social circle. - We must admit that people who come to professional boxing do not come from the conservatory. Mohammed Ali, Mike Tyson, many others went to prison. Our Oleg Karataev, a very talented boxer, was shot dead in New York. What is this - the fate of a true professional fighter? - No, I don’t see the connection here. Just a tragic coincidence. It's not just boxers who go to prison. They're just in plain sight. There is more noise around them. Specifics again: heavy blows, knockouts, blood. And so, we all walk under God.

One guy had to be hit - he deserved it

You were given three years for storing and carrying weapons. But they were released after a year and one month. Apparently, your sports achievements were taken into account?

Merits are not taken into account there. I’m just not a criminal, I’ve never had anything to do with crime. When you go to prison, this is important. You have a completely different reputation. The administration was able to see that I was a random person there.

- Where did you serve your sentence?

In Solikamsk, in the "White Swan". - But this is a prison for life sentences?

- "White Swan" is a transit prison. There are buildings for “lifers”, a zone, and a settlement. I was lucky: my relatives took care of me, and after three months in a transit prison they left me in a settlement in the city, and did not send me somewhere to the taiga. - In conclusion, there are rules and laws. Didn't you have to assert yourself with your fists?- Especially not. Although everyone there is on nerves. Once I had to hit a guy for insulting him. And so everything was decided with words. - Did they know who you were?- They didn’t know right away. Then, when the administration looked at the case, they called, introduced themselves, and asked questions. - And the so-called observers, the authorities, how did they treat you?- If a person does not understand something, they must explain the rules adopted there. You can ask yourself if you don’t know something. This is fine. But I had normal relationships with serious people, with “statutory” people. They asked me to talk about boxing, I even gave them autographs. And when he left for the settlement, he signed it for the entire barracks. While I lived in the city, I went to check in twice a day, morning and evening. Lived with his wife Elena. She came from the very first day I was brought there. And she was very supportive. All the paperwork when they applied for my early release fell on her shoulders. - Did you train at the settlement?- I started training when I was still living in a barracks. There was a room where I hung homemade bags. There were two rods made from tractor wheels. And in the city I began to go to training at the sports complex DK "Bumazhnik", to a real boxing gym. I studied on my own. And in his free time he trained local boys. One of them, 15-year-old Ilya (I don’t remember his last name), became the champion of the Perm region. - Already a month and a half after your release, you successfully held a rating fight in the ring. Has the year without competition had a significant impact on your fitness?

Certainly. I didn't have any sparring there. I only worked with pears. Today we are only 50 percent ready. To reach good level, we need to work hard and have 4-5 more rating battles. - Are you going to return the Intercontinental Champion title?- There is such a desire. But now in more light category- welterweight
