The eternally smiling Georgian could even devastate rivals with his sense of humor. You never know how much of what he says is true and how much is a joking lie. “He likes to make things up. Things like nicknames – he says we call him Gruzín. But that’s not true,” reveals his team member Ondřej Pála. Siproshvili is an immense fan of the historic film, Gladiator. “I love it. The story, the battle scenes, even the music is incredible,” he says. Maybe it’s in this movie that the fighter who came to the Czech Republic a year ago has found his approach to life. “Never give up. That’s my creed,” he announces proudly.

 

Through the eyes of trainer Jurij Krivoručko:

“The main thing is this boy is an unbelievably hard worker. Two men together could not handle the things he can take. Besides that, it’s fun to be with him, even if I sometimes find the Caucasian humor takes a little longer to sink in.”
