Famous trainer Ramazan Ismailov told MMA.Metaratings.ru that the fight Magomed Ismailov will compete at a catchweight by boxing standards at the initiative of his opponent Ivan Shtyrkov .
The fight between Shtyrkov and Ismailov under the rules of boxing will take place on March 7 in Yekaterinburg.
– We wanted the fight to take place within the boxing weight limit of the first heavyweight, that is, the athletes weigh 90.7 kg. At the same time it was possible to torment the opponent. But the other side wanted to compete in light heavyweight under MMA rules – up to 93kg. I think Shtyrkov will weigh 103 kg in the fight. He can easily score ten. With 10 ounce gloves, he will be even more dangerous, especially in the first two and a half rounds. Then we will take ours,” Ismailov said.
Earlier, Ismailov and Shtyrkov fought under MMA rules, where Ismailov won by unanimous decision. In 2022, Ismailov had two boxing fights, beating Olanrevaja Durodola and Alexander Ilich.
Ivan Shtyrkov’s statistics in MMA are 22 wins and 2 losses, 1 draw. Ismailov in mixed martial arts: 18 wins, 3 losses and 1 fight also ended in a draw.
