Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov vows to leave presidential post if exiled blogger beats his son in a fight

Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov has vowed to leave his post as Head of the Chechen Republic if dissident blogger Tumso Abdurakhmanov defeated his 13-year-old son Adam in a fight.

Kadyrov initiated the bet when he and his family were recording a video blog while out picking strawberries. During the live broadcast, he referenced Abdurakhmanov, claiming that the blogger once called his son a “bag,” a reference to the 13-year-old’s weight.

“Wouldn’t you be afraid to fight him?” Kadyrov asked his son, who replied that he would be interested in fighting the adult. Kadyrov then vowed to leave his post if the blogger defeated his son.
