Veljko Raznatovic: We Are Closing the Gym in Titel
The boxer posted a photo on Instagram of a truck hauling equipment out of his private gym in Titel, and gave no reason for closing it.
Boxer Veljko Raznatovic has posted a photo on Instagram taken in the yard of his family home in Titel. It shows a truck with a trailer being loaded with insulation panels and equipment. He captioned it with two words and a cross emoji.
“We’re closing the gym,” Raznatovic wrote in the post, without a single sentence of explanation.
What do we know about the gym in Titel?
It is a private sports hall and fitness room that Raznatovic built in the yard of his property. He lives in Titel with his wife Bogdana and their three sons, and by his own account he prepared for his boxing matches in that gym. He is also known as the son of Svetlana Ceca Raznatovic.
Telegraf describes the photo as showing a spacious yard with outbuildings, a children’s playhouse and a pool, with the truck and the equipment in the foreground.
What did the boxer leave unsaid?
Raznatovic gave no reason for the decision. He did not say whether the closure is permanent, whether the equipment is moving to another location, or whether the space is being renovated for a different use. As far as is publicly known, he has offered no further explanation so far, so the only reliable information is what appears in the photo and its short caption.
The injury that took him to Russia
The post comes shortly after Raznatovic spoke on the podcast “Prava Prica” about a back injury and his recovery in Moscow. He said he had a herniated disc and spent three to four months in bed, unable to walk:
The injury forced me to go to Russia. I had a herniated disc. I knew I had to do something drastic. I wanted to test myself. I was immobile for a long time. For three or four months I lay in bed and could not walk. Before that I was limping… I thought it would pass. I trained despite the pain, until the pain went down my leg. Then you sit down and you think… I decided to change everything and try to make a result. I was 28 years old. Now I have positioned myself well. In seven months there I made contacts for a lifetime and found a coach.
That is how Raznatovic described the seven months he spent training and recovering in Russia. No link between that story and the closing of the gym has been confirmed, and he has not mentioned one himself.
For now, all that remains is a short post from Titel: a truck, panels, equipment and a two-word message.
