Russian fighters Vladimir Minev And Magomed Ismailov Now they can laugh and smile, but in the fight they will be as serious as possible, says AMC Fight Nights head Kamil Gadjiev .
The boxing fight between Mineev and Magomed 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.
— On Monday there was a football match, the captains of the teams were Mineev and Ismailov. And after the meeting, Mineev scored a penalty against Ismailov.
– It’s not a bad foam, by the way. brand. Ismailov doesn’t care; he didn’t even understand what happened, basically. Maga was having fun for his team; his team leveled the score in a dramatic finish.
— Over the past few weeks, the fighters held three press conferences, now there was football activity. Don’t you think that because of so many events you are losing your temper?
“Courage was lost quite a long time ago. Even if you organize ten conferences, they will be so fed up that they will want to punch themselves as quickly as possible. Maga said it well: on July 20, everything will change. It’s all just ha-ha, hee-he now, but as soon as the battle begins, it will be dramatic. Because it seems to me that both of them are asking questions.
This isn’t the first time I’ve compared this matchup to the Usik vs. Fury fight. It is clear that there is a global scale, but here it is a Russian federal scale. Fury and Usyk didn’t hate each other, they didn’t throw him to the fan. They simply deserved to have their fight watched. Acknowledgement. It’s the same now. Magomed and Volodya enjoy maximum recognition and many know them as a couple. Tell people they have a new fight, they’ll turn on the TV without thinking about the rules of the fight.
—Who do you think won based on the results of three press conferences?
— The winner has not been revealed. Obviously, Maga was more emotional and Volodya worked as number two. It seems to me that there will be something similar in the battle, ”the correspondent of reports Gadjiev’s words.
