On September 24, Alexander Emelianenko and Vyacheslav Datsik will fight, who will test each other for strength in a boxing fight.

On the eve of the fight, as well as before any solid tournament, the athletes had a battle of views. But the event with the participation of such fighters could not do without excesses. Emelianenko Jr. decided to test the nerves and muscles of his opponent for strength a few days before the start of the fight.

Preparing for the long-awaited battle

The preparation of both fighters for this confrontation was equally well covered in the media space. Athletes almost daily shared posts with videos with the audience on social networks. For high-quality training, Emelianenko even went to Yekaterinburg, where he not only prepared for the upcoming battle, but also corrected his bad health, which had suffered from regular violations of the regime.

Datsik also managed to hold several fights during this period. Twice he entered the boxing ring, once again he confronted the legendary veteran of mixed martial arts Jeff Monson in the octagon.

“Are you afraid, Datsik? Honestly”

A battle of views was scheduled for September 21st. Rivals came to the event in business suits. When they were brought face to face, the first embarrassment occurred. Due to Datsik’s excess weight, the rivals could not get close enough to each other, at least Emelianenko referred to this.

– It won’t get any closer. Datsik’s stomach sticks out, – Alexander loudly declared to the press.

Red-haired Tarzan answered with a traditional grin, which, however, was covered by the athlete’s beard. But even at this moment, Emelianenko found how to offend his opponent.

Why are you constantly growling? Dog what? – Emelianenko asked Datsik with a slight mockery, receiving only silence in response.

For a few seconds, the opponents looked at each other in silence. But the first could not stand again Alexander.

– Scary, Datsik? Tell me honestly, – the newly minted Phoenix was joking at the opponent.

“It will be scary for you to wake up,” Red Tarzan answered the provocation with a smile.

After this dialogue, the rivals turned around to face the audience. Emelianenko became in a fighting stance, and Datsik began to beat his fists on his palms, changing hands. In this situation, Alexander did not find anything better than to hit the opponent in the shoulder. True, Phoenix did not invest in the blow.

Datsik did not succumb to another provocation of the opponent. He sharply responded to Alexander’s antics.

Are mosquitoes flying around here? asked Red Tarzan, patting his slapped hand.

The entire audience present at the event laughed merrily at what had happened.

The fighters that evening were not set up for a tough confrontation, which often happens before fights in modern tournaments. They agreed to shake hands, showing mutual respect.
