—Who was your main sparring partner before the fight with Datsik?
— Now the guys from the Serbian national team have arrived. We boxed with them. The first number of the national team, Vladan Babich (6-0 professional boxing – Editor’s note). A very good boxer, tough. In my opinion, he makes the Olympic team. I fully fought with him. And I’m not going to lie: we had 8 and 12 training cycles. He brought my hands back to my head a little.
I won’t hide it, I went out just as lightly with him, I said to myself: “Come on, boxer, uncle.” And he gave me a hard time, my light went out, I floated, I got out. Then I walked along the ropes, recovered normally and finished boxing with him. But for a week, my head was buzzing. “I was slightly knocked down,” reports the correspondent, according to Emelianenko’s words.
