olympic boxing champion Egor Mehontsev admitted to MMA.Metaratings.ru that he does not understand why Fyodor Emelianenko I need a fight against Jake Paul.
The idea of a duel between Emelianenko and Paul was voiced by the Russian’s manager Jerry Millen.
– As far as I know, it just shakes the air. Why does Fedor Emelianenko need this fight? He’s a top athlete, and who is Jake Paul? No one. There is no sporting sense in this confrontation. Jake Paul has nothing to do with a boxer. If only he won the conditional championship of Moscow or the championship of the Southern Federal District. This is the maximum level for Paul. Himself in boxing is nobody. He is popular in the media. And he chooses as opponents those who are “nobody” in boxing.
The story is somewhat reminiscent of the duel between Mickey Rourke and homeless Elliot Seymour. That Paul also set a record for himself on boxing strangers boxing for a bottle, but I don’t understand why Emelianenko himself fights. Yes, MMA fighters are physically strong guys who have a strong punch, but they lack the true art and skill of boxing. This confrontation has nothing to do with sports,” Mekhontsev said.
