Bellator League Heavyweight Valentin Moldavski in an interview with assessed the odds Fedor Emelianenko in a boxing match against mike tyson .
Earlier in an interview on MMA Hour, former Pride and WAMMA champion Fedor Emelianenko said he was interested in fighting American boxer Mike Tyson. In early 2023, 46-year-old Emelianenko announced his retirement from MMA but continued to train with fighters from Team Fedor, which includes Moldavsky.
– Three hours before our interview, Fedor Emelianenko told Ariel Helwani that he would like to box with Mike Tyson. Did you hear about it for the first time in an interview? Or has he already spoken?
– It’s about Mike Tyson – no, but he said it would be good to play boxing.
– Lately, have you ever seen Fedor train in boxers (in shoes), like they do in boxing?
– In boxers – no. Maybe in Moscow he trained like that, but I probably never saw him in boxing.
Will it surprise you if Fedor beats Mike Tyson?
Why should this surprise me? I will be delighted, I don’t think anyone will be the clear favourite. How old is Tyson?
— 57.
– I think the odds are equal.
– Is it hard with Fedor in sparring?
“About, yes. His physique has also improved, we fought a little, we have the impression that he has become stronger, like a wall. It’s always difficult to train with him, he can fly away unexpectedly with some kind of jab, so it’s uncomfortable.
What chances would he have against Mike Tyson?
– If it hits, Tyson will fall, and that’s it. Here are the odds. Fedor has a “splash”, and Tyson has a “splash”, so whoever does well will win, Moldavian said.
Valentin Moldavsky, as the former Bellator interim champion, will face Steve Mowry on August 11.
