Gadzhiev: “There will be no doping control in the fight between Mineev and Ismailov. I don’t see the point of that.”

Russian fighters Vladimir Minev And Magomed Ismailov Won’t Take Drug Tests Before Boxing Match, AMC Fight Nights Head Says Kamil Gadjiev .

The boxing match between Mineev and Ismailov will take place on July 20 in Moscow. The rivals had two fights under MMA rules in 2018 and 2021, ending in a draw and a victory for Mineev, respectively.

“I would advise them to just practice.” Either way, they both do it. But something like this happens: “Now the event will take place, I will sit down to practice.” And then this situation repeats itself. And there’s less than a month until the fight. Vladimir Mineev will now be at the training camp, and during the first week he often suffers from micro-injuries. And whether he will have time to prepare is a big question.

— Will there be a doping control before and after this fight?

– No, it won’t. For what? I do not see the interest. I’m not saying they do drugs, but I’m not saying they need to be tested. I would generally abolish doping control in the entire post-Soviet space (in MMA). This doping control probably does not exist. It does not mean anything. Well, people fight. And they have a choice. I am against doping, but if fighters want to eat it to look cool, compete and fight for 30 minutes like robots… – correspondent reports Gadjiev’s words.

Mineev, 34, has 16 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw in MMA. In September 2022, Mineev received a summons and joined the Russian Armed Forces in February 2023. Several times the fighter returned from the SVO zone to participate in fights according to the rules of kickboxing. Ismailov, 38, has 18 wins, three losses and one draw in MMA.
