MMA fighter Magomed Ismailov has hinted to reporters that he will return to boxing as part of the RCC promotion on March 7, according to , Ivan Shtyrkov will become an opponent.
The Russian middleweight (up to 84 kg) in 2022 had two fights under the rules of boxing: he defeated Olanrevaja Durodola and Alexander Ilic.
Now I am ready for the challenge. Whatever you move in, you develop certain patterns, plans in your head. They offered a certain showdown for March 7, they just didn’t sort out a few nuances. We will fix it and we can announce it. Most likely, RCC, but we will have to look at who is there,” Ismailov told a correspondent.
– Does the opponent’s last name start with “sh”?
— Ha-ha-ha-ha. I won’t tell you anything more. But you said yourself that there are many options.
– Boxing, Cam or MMA?
— I love MMA, boxing and wrestling. Quite a bit.
Ismailov held his last fight on December 3 last year under MMA rules, beating Alexander Shlemenko in five rounds. Ismailov is 36 years old, he totals 18 wins, 3 losses, 1 draw in MMA. Previously, Shtyrkov and Ismailov had already met under the rules of MMA – in December 2020, the latter won by decision of the judges.
