Promoter Vladimir Khryunov told the details of the incident involving Ivan Emelianenko the younger brother of the famous MMA fighter Fedora Emelianenko .
Previously it became known that Ivan Emelianenko, who participated in fights according to different rules, seriously harmed the health of another man during a street conflict. A criminal case was opened against the athlete.
— The trial is currently underway, Ivan Emelianenko is under investigation. For my part, I wrote a very positive review and I will continue to work with him. We have a fight scheduled for December 6 with Yura Ryaby on the final show. And the situation he found himself in could happen to anyone with martial arts skills. He was actually attacked by a repeat offender who had already offended a woman. Ivan, of course, entered into a confrontation with him, inflicting several blows. And he, falling face down, suffered damage to his facial bones. Daily episode. The injured party’s position is that they accepted Ivan’s apology. The final meeting will take place on November 24.
– In which city did this happen?
— It was in Stary Oskol. Ivan continues to train, we have planned his move, but he is not yet allowed to travel to another city. I believe that the star of Ivan Emelianenko, if not this year, then next year, will certainly open and shine.
– Do you know anything about the person who attacked him?
“He was a repeat offender with five previous convictions, and now he is jailed again. And he is in prison.
— Is there a chance that Ivan will be completely acquitted by December 6?
“I believe he will be found guilty, and we are now fighting so that, given his positive characteristics and the fact that he is the guardian of his older sister’s child, the sentence does not include imprisonment . »
— I have heard many stories about the fact that in Moscow it is now recommended not to hold tournaments with the participation of people with criminal records. Have you heard of this?
— I think Emelianenko and “not to execute” are incompatible things. Today, Alexander Emelianenko has become more active. We spoke to him. He said: “If something happens, I will go out and fight in Ivan’s place. Give me a fight,” Khryunov told .
