“Someone will be better in this or that fight, but both will remain in history” – Kamil Gadzhiev on the meeting between Mineev and Ismailov

AMC Fight Nights chief Kamil Gadzhiev said the outcome of the boxing match between Magomed Ismailov And Vladimir Mineev will not answer the question of who is cooler, as both athletes will go down in history.

The boxing fight between Ismailov and Mineev will take place on Saturday in Moscow and will consist of eight rounds. The rivals had two fights under MMA rules in 2018 and 2021, which ended in a draw and a victory for Mineev, respectively.

– Anyone who says that there is no spark in this confrontation anymore… Everyone is right. But these are the mastodons of Russian martial arts, who used to fight every time they met, and sometimes even wall to wall. Okay, it would sound ridiculous. I compare their confrontation with the fight between Fury and Usik. Two very famous people, and there is a real dispute between them: who is cooler. Some think that Vladimir Mineev is cooler, while others think that Magomed Ismailov is better. And even tomorrow’s fight will not determine who is tougher. And it’s not even about sports results. Don’t think that I’m starting to promote the fourth fight now. No. It’s just that tomorrow one will be better, but both will go down in history, “Gadzhiev said at the weigh-in ceremony in Moscow.

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.

Watch the live broadcast of the fight between Mineev and Ismailov on July 20 on channel, the broadcast starts at 22:00 Moscow time.
