RCC executive director Nikolai Klimenko told that the duel between Alexander Shlemenko and Magomed Ismailov remains relevant, and Ismailov, it seems, does not pay enough attention to preparing for a meeting with Serbian Alexander Ilyich.
Friday in Omsk, Shlemenko equalized (29:28, 28:28, 28:29) the fight with the Brazilian Kleber Souza. For both fighters, this is the first draw of their careers. Shlemenko, 38, has 61 wins and 14 losses, while Souza, 37, has 23 wins and 13 losses.
In August, the Russian lost to Serbian Alexander Ilic in 20 seconds. On October 7, Ismailov and Ilic must fight according to the rules of boxing.
– The second consecutive fight for Sasha, the second consecutive weight race, the second consecutive training are felt. Going to this fight, Alexander took a big risk, especially since the previous one was quite difficult. But, Sasha is a man of his word, and since he promised a fight in Omsk, he gave it. The fight with Magomed Ismailov for the RCC and for Russian MMA remains relevant. But Alexander has to go through a full multi-stage training. It is important to us that both are at the top of their game. Again, to assess the chances of Alexander in the fight against Ismailov, you have to wait for the fight between Magomed and Ilic, because according to the sensations, Magomed also does not pay due attention to the preparation,” said Klimenko at . .
The MMA fight between Ismailov and Shlemenko is scheduled for December in Yekaterinburg during the RCC tournament.
