Russian boxer Arthur Beterbiev said Canadian mixed martial artist Georges St-Pierre was a fan Fedora Emelianenko .
Earlier in an interview on the MMA Hour show, former Pride and WAMMA champion Emelianenko said he is interested in fighting undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion Mike 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.
— Would you be interested in a fight between Mike Tyson and Fedor Emelianenko?
– Probably not. Tyson’s fight with Roy Jones – I thought it would be a real fight. And there it turns out that there is an exhibition fight. Yes, it’s cool to see legends in the ring, but there was no real interest. This is the fight (former two-division UFC champion) Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather – this is when I, a professional boxer, caught fire. But after the first round, I realized it was a performance.
Emelianenko rarely came into my field of vision. He is respected in his sport, even Georges St-Pierre told me he was a fan of Fedor Emelianenko. But I couldn’t say anything to him (in response), since I didn’t watch his fights, ”reports the correspondent of , reporting Beterbiev’s words.
