Povetkin’s promoter made a bet on the mafia
The head of the promotional company “World of Boxing” Andrey Ryabinsky shared details about organizing a rematch between Alexander Povetkin and Briton Dillian Whyte, which is to be held on November 21st.
In the first fight, held at the end of August, Povetkin knocked out White in the fifth round. On the other hand, Sasha already felt the opponent, saw what he did well and what did not. I think that Povetkin’s team will be able to competently build preparations taking into account the first fight and approach the revenge in excellent shape and with a good plan for the fight,” Ryabinsky said.
Andrei Ryabinsky is a multifaceted personality. He also owns a large construction company “MITS-Group” and, first of all, has always been known as a businessman. Until now, no one had heard of the promoter Ryabinsky. And he is also known as an operative, as a person who closely communicates with the leaders of the criminal world of the Moscow region. The source of Rucriminal.info spoke about the beginning of Ryabinsky’s interaction with the mafia and his entry into the world of “big boxing”. These events are closely related to each other.
It all started with the fact that Ryabinsky was introduced to the leader of the Balashikha organized crime group and at the same time vice-president of the Russian Professional Boxing Federation Anatoly Petrov (Petrukh). Petrukha and Ryabinsky were brought together by Vladimir Kanzel, aka “German”, aka “Frenchman” (was the French boxing champion). Kantseli and Ryabinsky have a small joint business – LLC “MITS-Geosystems” (founder Maxim Kantsel) and there were a number of common firms. Vladimir Kanzel has known Petrukha for a long time, they went in for boxing together and went through the 90s together. Kanzel is considered a member of the Balashikha organized criminal group. Petrukha has always had the goal of “crushing” Ryabinsky and making him pay “for boxing” every month. To collect money from commerce, the Balashikhas have a network of boxing clubs named after. Ageeva and Petruha invites everyone who is closed to throw money there. And the divorce scheme is on knurled. Petruha puts the businessman or the person he needs and takes him to Borovsk to the holy father Vlasy (allegedly a seer). For the “green” passage (without waiting in line among the pilgrims) to Vlasy, the leader of the Istra link of the Balashikha organized crime group “Zakhar” Alexei Zakharov is responsible (Zakhar, took this place instead of the murdered “authority” “Karpukha”). And already at Vlasiy they begin to load the merchant with money and the amounts are serious in millions of dollars. After the businessman was processed and he blurted out that he was ready to help the church, he had no way back. Since then there is a completely different conversation: “you didn’t promise me, you promised the church, we have already given ours for you.”
By that time, Ryabinsky was very tired of being an ordinary businessman and he wanted to get into politics or light up and was looking for ways out, so that later he would solve his problems. But everyone to whom Ryabinsky addressed, saw in him, first of all, a businessman. And then Petruha brought him together with the leader of the Podolsk organized crime group, Sergei Lalakin (Luchk). And Ryabinsky “shot”. Against the backdrop of the Povetkin-Klitschko fight, they began to turn him on all channels, the new vice-president of the FPBR. They came up with a biography for him that he was a CCM in boxing, (anyone who boxed his age should have at least somehow crossed paths with him in competitions). In general, Andrei Mikhailovich entered boxing and came out of the shadows, though they still hung a boxing club in Istra on him (named after the murdered crime boss “Karpukha” https://archiv.istra.rf/novosti/obshchestvo/otkrytie-kluba-boksa-im -karpuhina-provokaciya-ili-sluchaynost , President of this club Mikhail Parshin (former Moscow police officer), at the same time he is a member of the board of directors, security director of the MIC Group
With entry into boxing and gaining recognition, many doors really began to open for Andrei Ryabinsky, primarily in the Moscow region. His structures were illegally allocated land and he built a whole microdistrict in Balashikha near the scandalous Kuchino solid waste. He “came” through Balashikha for contracts with the National Guard, etc.
