When will we see you in the ring?
– There were agreements for a fight in July. And July is coming soon, but there are no details so I can’t say anything. No. I told you I box for fun, so I can wait a little longer.
– There is no question of ending a career?
— I finished it a long time ago when I started participating in all these promotions. I compete because I love boxing.
– So what was your last fight in your career?
– Probably with Evgeny Romanov (in May 2021), when we fought for the WBC front row in bridgerweight. So that’s it…
– You pulled trains and planes, guarded cars. Is it worth waiting for something new?
– After holding the cars, I don’t want anything else. It hurts. And in principle, he got everything he wanted from it.
– How much do you press on the chest?
– I had an injury. And there was a time when I couldn’t even shake 100 kg. Now I press about 150 kg several times. Maximum? 170 kg has not stung yet. Without the injury, I would regret it.
– And the pull-ups?
– The record was – once (laughs). Evgeny Goncharov was with me at that time, he can confirm that. Now ten times.
– You announced the anti-record.
– I stopped 20 times when I weighed less.
– How do you see ACA heavyweight champion Goncharov’s prospects in boxing?
We see boxing from different angles. There are different types of boxing – professional and so-called pop. Zhenya is a good drummer and a powerful guy. I think he will compete with a lot of people fighting in all these pop promotions,” Kudryashov told .
