Congo-Brazzaville defender Chris Samba insists he will not be driven from Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala after suffering racist abuse.
A banana was thrown at the 28-year-old during his side's 1-0 defeat at Lokomotiv Moscow last month.
Samba, who joined Anzhi from English Premier League side Blackburn in February, said: "I will never let the small community of racists break me.
"I'm a strong character and will keep fighting for my team."
Samba added: "I am thoroughly enjoying my time in Russia and although I was of course angry at the racism incident, along with the rest of the football world, racist issues here are no different to what I have experienced in other countries."
