Mixed style Russian fighter Vladimir Minev on the eve of the fight with Magomed Ismailov, he said that in boxing you cannot just go out and fight, because it is an art.
The fight according to boxing rules will take place on July 20 in Moscow. Previously, Mineev and Ismailov fought two fights under MMA rules in 2018 (draw) and 2021 (Vladimir’s victory).
– There is still time to think and worry. It’s not yet the peak of emotional intensity. It was nice to see my friends in the audience today.
— What do you feel when you see Magomed Ismailov?
– That we will have a good fight. He will definitely do what he says. But it doesn’t work in boxing like it does in MMA. There is a concept: rational verification. When you think you know a lot, but in reality you don’t. Boxing is an art, it’s not just about going out to fight and panting.
I think Magomed also has a large audience that supports him. I’m happy that the guys, the Russian community and the majority of the military support me. It’s nice to evoke such an attitude among people. I said we are rivals in the ring, but we are not enemies. Overall, we are partners. “We are all on the same side,” reports the correspondent, according to Mineev’s words.
Mineev, 34, has 16 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw in MMA.
