Athletistic/Boxing. REN TV Fight Club league promoter Vladimir Khryunov announced plans to stage a fight between former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou and former Bellator heavyweight champion Vitaly Minakov.

“You know, on March 25, we have planned a big comeback for Vitaly Minakov, our great legend. I intend to offer Ngannou a fight with Minakov here in Russia. It will probably be this summer or this fall. Minakov is a big name in Russia’s martial arts world, and “he’s coming back to do something big, not just fight Brazilians in the bars of Rio de Janeiro. Minakov is a legend, a big deal, and we think we deserve to have really big fights,” Khryunov shared in an interview for a “Championship” correspondent.
