Former undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson does not negotiate a fight that could take place in Saudi Arabia with a titled Russian MMA fighter Fyodor Emelianenko.
Earlier in an interview on the MMA Hour show, former Pride and WAMMA champion Emelianenko said that he is interested in fighting Tyson. In early 2023, 47-year-old Emelianenko announced his retirement from MMA, but continued to train with Team Fedor fighters. Tyson is 57 years old. In 2020, he resumed his career with the aim of organizing show fights. The exhibition match with Roy Jones Jr. was a draw.
— Mike Tyson is not negotiating a fight against Fedor Emelianenko in Saudi Arabia. His representatives told me today: “That’s a lie. Mr. Tyson does not want to fight Fedor, not now or in the future,” journalist Chisanga Malata wrote on social media.
The UFC tournament in Saudi Arabia was supposed to take place on March 3, but it recently became known that it will be postponed until the summer.
