Revenge Alexandra Emelianenko and Sergei Kharitonov make sense, but both fighters need to prepare first. Nikita Burchak, the manager of Alexander Emelianenko, expressed this opinion in a conversation with .
Since June, Alexander Emelianenko has been undergoing rehabilitation in Ingushetia. Emelianenko, 42, and Kharitonov, 43, fought on September 10, 2006. In the first round, Emelianenko won by technical knockout.
— Sasha is cheerful and active, eager to fight, but understands that rehabilitation must be completely completed. The full course lasts six months. The rehabilitation is going well and the shoulder is almost recovered. As we already said, according to our plans, the fight will take place in November and/or December.
— After his victory over Brazilian Thiago Cardoso at the September tournament in Moscow, Kharitonov ruled out the option of reconciliation with Emelianenko, adding that he would never shake his hand.
— I no longer take Sergei Kharitonov seriously. So he says he lived with Sasha and he knows who he is, so he won’t shake his hand. But Sergei forgot to specify where he lived… And he lived in Sasha’s apartment and trained together. And in the end, they gave him shelter and the opportunity to train, and he spied on all of this and began to challenge them to fights. In the end, Sasha won and is now making fun of him. It’s just funny how the hypocrite Kharitonov tells some things, forgetting the important details of this situation – with whom he lived and who helped him. There is no reason to be surprised. I remember an interview with Kamil Gadzhiev three years ago, when he called Kharitonov an asshole. It couldn’t be said any more clearly here. In general, everyone in Kharitonov understood everything.
— Does a rematch between Kharitonov and Emelianenko make sense in general?
– Probably yes, but Sasha needs to get in shape. At the moment, it is most likely that the fight will not be competitive. Although Kharitonov’s last fight… Well, it’s difficult to evaluate anything there. In general, both must prepare for revenge. And I think that such a confrontation will give Sasha additional motivation, ”Burchak told .
