A row has erupted over \u201cthe most hyped fight of the year\u201d in Russia- a contest between two teenagers with dwarfism.<\/p>\n
The fight has reportedly already taken place.<\/p>\n
But a video has not yet been released amid anger over the \u201cunethical\u201d bout conducted as a \u201cfreak show\u201d.<\/p>\n
The fight was between 3ft tall and 18kg Hasbulla 'Hasbik' Magomedov, 18, a popular TikTok star from the Russian republic of Dagestan.<\/p>\n
His opponent is Abduroziq, 17, 3ft 3in tall, weighing 17kg, a singer from Tajikistan.<\/p>\n
A video with almost nine million hits shows their pre-fight banter as Abduroziq threatens Hasbulla: \u201dIf you lay even a finger on me now, they will take your corpse away.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He also said: \u201cBelieve me, I don't care where you're training. And why are you imitating Conor McGregor?\u201d<\/p>\n
The mixed martial arts fight was organised by Chechen blogger Ashab Tamayev, 19, and was due on 18 May, but it is unclear who won.<\/p>\n
He has promised to upload the video, but has delayed doing so.<\/p>\n
He is seen in the pre-fight video keeping the pair apart.<\/p>\n

But the Sports Association of Little People of Russia branded the fight – between two combatants with a total weight of 35kg – \u201cunethical\u201d.<\/p>\n
The body said it was aimed at turning the pair into a 'laughing stock'.<\/p>\n
The association\u2019s head Ulyana Podpalnaya said: \u201cIt's not like even a show fight.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey get paid a lot of money and it's a show to make people laugh.<\/p>\n
"There is nothing serious about this, this is not a sport.<\/p>\n
