— The boxing match between Vladimir Mineev and Magomed Ismailov is certainly very interesting! I see Mineev as the favorite in this fight, I think he will be better prepared functionally, and this will be the decisive factor. Magomed will have only one chance: to participate in the first rounds and finish the fight earlier than expected.
“This is a great event for boxing because, firstly, it shows that boxers of the past can become MMA stars in the present, like Mineev. And secondly, such events attract a new audience that will continue to follow professional and amateur boxing,” Shumkov told .
Mineev, 34, has 16 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw in MMA. In September 2022, Mineev received a call-up and joined the Russian Armed Forces in February 2023. Several times the fighter returned from the SVO zone to participate in fights under the rules of kickboxing. Ismailov, 38, has 18 wins, three losses and one draw in MMA.
