russian fighter Ivan Shtyrkov said he could not refuse the fight against Konstantin Erokhin by the rules of boxing.
On August 26, in Moscow, Shtyrkov will hold a boxing match with former UFC fighter Yerokhin. In addition, on September 22, during the RCC tournament, he is expected to meet another ex-combatant cfu Maxim Grishin in a fight under the rules of MMA. And on November 17-18, negotiations are underway to set up a matchup under kickboxing rules between the AMC Fight Nights champion Vladimir Mineev .
— The initiator was not me, but the management of Hardcore FC. Anatoly Sulyanov called and offered to fight Konstantin. I couldn’t refuse. During Hardcore FC tournaments, fights are announced in different forms: mixed martial arts, kickboxing, bare fists. Apparently, what interested them most was to see our duel in the boxing ring. Personally, I did not ask about this, quotes RT Shtyrkov.
Shtyrkov, who turns 35 in September, has 22 wins, two losses and a draw in MMA. Moreover, Shtyrkov fought under the rules of boxing with Magomed Ismailov, and under the rules of kickboxing – with Peter Romankevich.
