“As for mixed martial arts, I will not be returning as a promise has been made. However, I am drawn to the idea of trying my hand at boxing.
Do I already have specific projects? No, after my last fight I started training to add muscle mass in certain areas of the body, to support the skeleton and of course to try my hand at boxing. Now you can say, I have recovered, rested and want to try a new direction. We have already started to take steps in this direction by sending applications to various boxing promotions.
Do I have a certain desire to fight with a particular opponent? You know, we saw the fight between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones…I would be interested in fighting Mike Tyson,” Emelianenko explained in an interview for The MMA Hour podcast.
