Updates on the Engin Terzi and Robert Agreement
Engin announced a significant step forward in his relationship with Robert. After approximately six weeks of discussions, a verbal agreement has been reached between the two. Engin confirmed that they spoke on the phone and also documented their agreed terms on WhatsApp. Currently, Engin is awaiting Robert to prepare the official agreement document for signing, emphasizing that it should contain "nothing additional" beyond what was verbally agreed upon. This push for reconciliation began about a month ago when Robert, via a mutual friend, suggested they both "calm down" and avoid escalating conflicts, an idea Engin readily accepted. The goal is for "everything to be good as before".
Status of the September 27th Baku Event and Athlete Concerns
Robert has expressed his intent to hold an event in Baku on September 27th. Engin confirmed that Jerry and Elmar have agreed to this date, along with the sponsorship and "almost everything else," indicating that a signing is expected soon.
However, athletes have been inquiring frequently about the certainty of their matches, as they have been preparing for the event. Engin stressed to Robert that athletes are loyal because he provides them with matches and events, not for personal reasons, and their continued participation depends on the organization delivering events. He urged Robert to expedite the agreement's finalization so he could confirm matches. Engin has already offered matches to Patrenko and Nugo, and Zaur vs Kamil. Additionally, Arthur Makarov was expecting a match and has been seeking confirmation. While Engin stated he couldn't offer 100% confirmation without a signed agreement to avoid future complications, he noted it would "most likely happen".
Addressing Past Athlete Payments and Engin's Support
A significant revelation from Engin was that the past management of King of the Table still owes money to athletes from previous events. Robert reached out to Engin, asking if he could use some of the money Robert owes Engin to prioritize paying the athletes first. Engin readily agreed to this request, stating, "Yes I mean I said pay the athletes first", thereby putting the athletes' financial well-being ahead of his own payments. He confirmed that the "majority of the [King of Table] events will be paid" to the athletes.
Engin Terzi Refutes Claims of Being Banned in Turkey
Engin took the opportunity to address persistent "lies and slandering" from individuals claiming he is "banned officially in [his] country". He provided clear evidence to debunk these rumors:
- Just last month, Engin conducted a seminar for the Turkish junior and youth national team.
- Ermes was also present at this seminar, offering advice to the athletes.
- Engin himself served as the technical director and head of trainers for this seminar.
- He was also the head of trainers at the most recent European Championships in Romania.
- Furthermore, Engin announced he will be the technical director of the Turkish national team at the upcoming World Championships in Bulgaria.
Engin challenged those spreading falsehoods, asking what they would say when he officially attends these championships, suggesting they would likely retract their claims.
Efforts Towards Conflict Resolution and a Positive Outlook
Engin reiterated that Robert's suggestion, made approximately a month ago through a common friend, was to stop discussing conflicts and instead focus on positive solutions. Engin, along with many others, agreed to this approach, contrasting it with individuals who "nonstop talked" to deepen the conflict and make reconciliation impossible. Engin remains hopeful that "everything will be repaired" as long as everyone involved "keeps their words".
Engin Terzi's Personal Training
On a personal note, Engin concluded his update by mentioning that he is also actively training, observing that his muscles are "getting a little bit bigger". He stated his plan to compete again in the future, though the specific event was not disclosed.
