43-year-old former heavyweight title challenger Kevin “Kingpin” Johnson (35-21-2, 19 KOs) schooled MMA fighter-turned boxer Viacheslav “Red Tarzan” Datsik (2-0, 2 KOs) in a three round exhibition on Friday night at the Dynamo Volleyball Arena in Moscow, Russia.
In his post-fight interview, Johnson, who hails from Lawrenceville, Georgia, turned to the camera and stated “This is it right here. I’m really ready to make a life-long change. And I would like to say to THE president, the honorable Vladimir Putin, if you’re watching this and you’re listening, I, Kevin Johnson, am looking to move here to Moscow and become a full resident here to pursue my career. And with your approval, I would like to apply for a Russian passport where Russia can be my home.”

He’s a bigger fool than Roy Jones Jr. and must have lost his dammmm mind boxing so many fights!
Good riddance, now if you can take the cast of the view with you this would be an amazing start.
“The Honorable Vladimer Putin” Haha!…what a dick!
Total nonsense. Kingpin didn’t school anyone, he basically hung around and got dominated (again). Check you the fight on YouTube, Johnson just a punishment sponge now.
I have always had a lot of respect for Kingpin. Even when he was not competitive in a fight, his opponent learned a few things. He is a road warrior and a gatekeeper and boxing needs more guys like him. Every now and then, he can still pull off the upset. Ask Yoan Pablo Hernandez. But Kingpin is acting like a useful idiot here and praising a tyrant. I hope he sees the light and comes to his senses. Very disappointed in him.
Maybe Kingpin can use his fighting skills to help Putin win his Special Military Operation.
Disgraceful. No matter what happens he should not be allowed back into the United States! Wish him nothing but misery.
Large numbers of African-Americans and even some famous ones moved to Russia in the 1920’s and became citizens due to the harsh racism and terrorism towards them in America and lack of economic opportunity. They were provided jobs and citizenship. Depending on who you asked, some thought of Woodrow Wilson as a tyrant as he publicly showed at the White House the racist film, “Birth of a Nation”, to well, you guessed it…white racist. Facts!
The truth be told right there.At last someone here is awake.
Yes, Woodrow Wilson was a communist, a racist and for most on this site will be disappointed to hear that he was a Democrat. Only people outside of Russia and the Western Nations, call Vladimir Putin a tyrant or an autocrat. I can tell you for a fact that inside the Russian borders he has over an 80% approval rating and it’s not because he threatens his citizens. Americans are low information voters who are fed propaganda constantly and don’t really know the facts of anything. NATO, the US State Department and the invader administration, who is not an ethnic Ukrainian, occupying the Kiev capital are the real tyrants and autocrats. The real useful idiots are the people who vote for leftist candidates living in Western civilization. They are the reason that America is a fallen nation and will soon experience a lower standard of living that no American breathing today has ever experienced. For the record, today’s Russia is nothing like the Russia of 100 years ago. There’s absolutely no Marxist ideology allowed in Russian government or within their citizenship. All of the Marxism practiced is in the West. FACTS!
That is possibly the goofiest shit I’ve read today.
Chris, don’t even waste your time trying to educate these people. They believe only what they want. Anyone with half a brain can see what’s going on here. (((Zelensky))) and his ilk are the moral enemy of the West. Can’t point it out though or you get called all sorts of hilarious leftists insults like “fascist!!” The US isn’t what it used to be. Our politicians have sold us out over and over again and ZOG is now running the show. If only Germany would’ve just won that damn war…..
Word Salad! NOT a single word about boxing on a boxing site!
Tell us you’re a racist disguised as a boxing fan!
The united snakes is the Soviet Union 2.0
That was when communism reigned and it was the Depression era of the thirties that had people consider alternate economic systems to capitalism .
I can not think of more than a handful
Of American Negroes who moved to the “Soviet Union” – not Russia – at the time.
Of course that became a failed state and of course anyone would have preferred living under the Utopian paradise of Lenin and Stalin than the US – right?
Wilson was a giant who conceived of the League of Nations – precursor to the UN – and passed the amendment giving women the right to vote .
As to the Birth of a Nation. It was an adaptation of a book the Klansman and has likely made more lists – from a technical point of view – of the greatest films of all time than any other movie in history . Politics aside it is one of the most influential films of all
Time .
Kevin is a friend of mine but he must be suffering brain damage to endorse the Hitler of the 21st Century. As gullible as those who went to live in Stalin’s Ant Hill Utopia.
Get tbe hell out of there Kevin unless you want to be considered the next Lord Ha Ha or another DMV. And that’s no joke
Yes they really know how to treat African Americans well in Russia just ask Brittaney Griner
Mr. Putin’s hospitality knows no bounds
The dude is probably running away from child support payments and overdue irs taxes! What a fool, he should take roy as well!
I used to teach in the Middle East. One of my colleagues stated it this way: “If you are seeing a middle aged American working in this region, they are either avoiding alimony or taxes.”
He’s trying to get away from people like you who clearly stereotype people. However I don’t know why he wants to go to a Putin Russia
He probably got v caught with some weed and didn’t want to wind up
Like Brittney Griner
This dude may not be as stupid as he sounds like. Maybe Johnson is well schooled on policy and knows that America’s days are numbered. Russia has teamed up with China, Saudi Arabia and India, and the rest of the BRICC’s nations, to become the new superpower region with the world’s major reserve currency. China and Brazil are already trading in their own currency and not using the American dollar anymore. The petrol dollar just recently became a thing of the past as well. America’s best days are behind them while our hardest days are in front of us. I would take Russian citizenship the second they offered it to me. I would prefer Hungary, Poland or Croatia but I’d take Russia too.
You make me feel glad to be as old as I am!
Don’t have to worry about the future too much and consume myself with the fact that the USA had 234 years behind her.
Better start buying up those time shares in North Korea and Iran
@Chris the natural… good bye and good riddance!
What an IDIOT! Hope he regrets that decision when he is called up.
Maybe he’s pulling a Denis Rodman and will be an ambassador and end the war?
Strip him of his US citizenship if he is serious.
he had to many beatings or lost it
Maybe he was just looking to impress Edward Snowden
