—Does Fyodor know about the Heibati brothers? Have you told him who your opponent will be?
“I myself didn’t know who they were before this fight. But Fedya and Alexander, I think, barely know them and have not heard of them.
— Does your sister still work as a doctor?
— In Stary Oskol, yes. ECG doctor.
— Do you consult her before fights?
– No, my heart is fine.
— Do you now live most of the time in Moscow, St. Petersburg or Oskol?
— Now in St. Petersburg. There is an apartment there and that’s where I settled,” Emelianenko told .
