UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski is keen to dispel the stereotype of the braindead, brutish fighter as he inks a children’s book designed at showing off the softer side of the world’s toughest athletes.
Volkanovski, who will defend his 145lb title against former champion Max Holloway at UFC 251 on July 11, is putting the finishing touches on the illustrated children’s book which the Aussie hopes will hit the shelves before his showdown on ‘Fight Island’.
“It’s going to be about myself, which is pretty cool,” Volkanovski said of the book to 7 News Australia. “The direction of the book is about being a world champion and everything about it.” (RT)
