Boxing level in a fight between Magomed Ismailov And Vladimir Mineev was not at a high level, their boxing confrontation is an exaggerated story, Russian light heavyweight Vasily Voitsekhovsky told .
On Saturday in Moscow, Mineev defeated Ismailov in a boxing match by unanimous decision. During the meeting, Ismailov was knocked down several times. Mineev and Ismailov have already met twice in the cage. Their first fight, which took place in October 2018 at the Fight Nights Global 90 tournament, ended in a draw. The second fight between Mineev and Ismailov took place in October 2021 at the AMC Fight Nights 105 tournament. Mineev won this fight by technical knockout in the third round.
— It seems that everyone saw the knockdowns that Vladimir sent Magomed to. But the fight itself was not of a high level from a boxing point of view. The confrontation is loud, it interests the audience! Now we are seeing a trend in boxing where people’s names and personal confrontations are much more interesting than the level of what they watch in the ring and what athletes can show there. Of course, in mixed martial arts, their fight will be very interesting for the third time. And in the field of boxing, this is an exaggerated story, which once again shows that boxing promoters and the entire boxing industry in Russia are not working properly.
Am I interested in a boxing match with Mineev? Look, I box in the category up to 79.4 kg, if Vladimir is ready to do at least 83 or 84 kg and he will be interested, then it is possible. But I can say for sure that I do not want to fight with my compatriots now. I have a world rating full of foreign opponents who can come and give me a fight. And, of course, the question of ratings: where is Mineev in the boxing ratings, what will this fight give me? Naturally, from a media point of view, this fight will bring me greater recognition, that’s for sure. But the fight should take place in my weight category, and if Vladimir is interested, then do it, “Voitsekhovsky told .
