“Let Goncharov wait for me, I haven’t seen my family for a year” – Adam Bogatyrev about the ASA Grand Prix Final

Russian heavyweight Adam Bogatyrev after defeating Kirill Kornilov in the semi-final of the ASA League Grand Prix, he indicated when he would like to play the final match against Evgeny Goncharov.

Bogatyrev defeated Kirill Kornilov in the semifinals by choke in the fourth round of the ACA 172 tournament in Moscow. Earlier, Evgeny Goncharov, who defeated Anton Vyazigin, reached the final of the tournament.

— Evgeniy said he wants to hold the Grand Prix Final this summer, when would you be comfortable fighting?

– Let Evgeniy wait for me. What can I tell him?! I haven’t seen my family in a year. I come home, kiss my mother and say: “Let’s go to dinner, take a walk, go to the movies.” And as soon as I enjoy the company of my family, I will start preparing for battle, because I have been gone for a very long time and I am very attached to my family.

-And where were you?

– It’s a state secret.

—What happened to your leg before this fight?

“I came out frozen and didn’t kick with my left foot. You know what the situation was: initially, when I arrived, I had to prepare for a fight with Salimgerey Rasulov, and I set up a kind of camp for him, because finding a person 1.8 m tall n It’s not that big of a problem. But a month later they told me that I had to fight Kirill Kornilov, and then the problems started, because there were no big heavyweights left, everyone left. We called Seryoga Pavlovich, he was, let’s say, healing his wounds. I did not involve him in my training process. I called Denis Smolderev. He only came for a week of sparring, and he and I spent six rounds of sparring every day Monday through Friday. And I didn’t see any chance for Kornilov to win against me, because in terms of skills, Kirill is not even close to Denis, ”Bogatyrev said after the fight.

According to the terms of the tournament, the winner of the Grand Prix will receive 15 million rubles.
