Russian fighter Vyacheslav Datsik told that he plans to serve in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation with his 18-year-old son.
A 43-year-old heavyweight who competes in mixed martial arts and boxing, Datsik joined the Russian armed forces by signing a contract with the Defense Ministry. Previously, the fighter had repeatedly come to the zone of the Northern Military District with humanitarian aid.
– Tell me where you are now.
— Now in Khanty-Mansiysk in a military hotel, we have to sort out something with the documents here. I signed a contract, but for the moment it is for one year with the possibility of extension. Then we are heading to a specific division, to Ulyanovsk, to the 31st, it seems. But now we need everything to go well with the documents. There is a commander I have known for a long time. Now the papers are gone, so my son and I find ourselves in the same unit, in the same division. My son accompanied me to the zone of the Northern Military District, he is 18 years old, he has all the toys since childhood: pistols, silencers. And nothing plastic.
— What is happening in your fight against Alexander Emelianenko?
— They seem to want to do it on December 31. They appear to have signed Alexander for four fights. Sanya called me, I just recovered from anesthesia, he said: “How are you?” How is your health? Fight.”
– How is your hand?
— I went to the public baths, they treated me with levomekol. My stitches were removed a long time ago, everything was cleaned and left to heal on its own. Three of my fingers can’t bend. I can clench my fist, but I can’t unclench it. We need to do an operation to sew the tendons back together.
— Will you be released from service to fight?
– I think so.
– And the training? Just there?
– Well, as always. Now I went to Elbrus, I hit only with my right hand, I trained my legs and did cardio,” Datsik told .
