“Someone who acts like McGregor in our world is considered trash.” Daniele Scardina comes down hard on the Irish martial arts champion after the attack on Francesco Facchinetti. Guest of the program ‘105 Kaos’, on Radio 105, the boxer from Rozzano is very severe: “Sunday I woke up, I picked up the phone, I saw Francesco’s story and in our group I wrote ‘Tell me it’s a joke’. What happened is a terrible and senseless stuff. We boxers, we sportsmen are supposed to set an example. And we have to be aware that our body is a weapon. We have to be an example of redemption, of education, of unity, which a lot of people don’t do. A champion like Conor McGregor should be a great example since millions of fans follow him.”
Scardina says he’s very disappointed: “When I heard about this, a myth fell away. It can’t be explained, it can’t be explained. This sport gives you discipline, it gives you education, it gives you respect. Regardless of what can happen. What happened is something sleazy because we know all the sacrifice behind it. I would never accept a provocation, I would never allow myself to raise my hands against a person. My goal is to become a world champion, to be an example for young people, for older people, for people who have a dream and maybe don’t believe in it and see me as a reference point,” he continued. “My sporting goal is to be able to fight a fighter of the caliber of Canelo Alvarez. Now, however, I also have a great desire to fight McGregor…,” he concludes.
