Speaking about the reasons for the defeat, the rules are not entirely clear to Oleinik. Alexei’s strong side has been ruled out – wrestling… A second fight with Thompson is possible, but we’re not talking about an immediate rematch. Oleinik’s next fight is scheduled for mid-late summer. There is an idea for Alexei to participate in the promotion of freestyle wrestling, and we want to offer Magomed Ismailov to compete with Alexei in freestyle wrestling,” Burchak told .
