Athletistic / Boxing. Rasul Magomedaliev, coach of Russian mixed martial arts fighter Vladimir Mineev, said he does not consider pop MMA fighter Jake Paul a passable opponent for his ward.
“I watched the fight between Jake Paul and Mike Perry. He fought too openly with him. Vova does not fight so openly. I would not allow Mineev to exchange with him and start fighting openly. Of course, we are a little – other people would have approached such a fight.
Is the fight with Paul easy money for Mineev? No, it is definitely not easy! The genre is not easy. Many people look at him that way because he is a blogger. But he is not an easy fighter. Paul understands boxing very well, so it would not be easy money,” Magomedaliev said, as quoted by Sport-Express.
On July 20, Vladimir Mineev defeated Magomed Ismailov by unanimous decision in a fight under boxing rules. In MMA, he has 16 wins and one loss.
Jake Paul knocked out Mike Perry in the sixth round on the night of July 21. Paul’s fights garner multi-million dollar views and the fee for a fight with him reaches into the tens of millions of dollars.
