Vyacheslav Datsik has earned a reputation as a very outrageous fighter. The athlete throughout his career entertained the public with scandalous antics, but he became famous not only because of them. There are many powerful knockouts in the asset of Red Tarzan – Tyson Dijon also had to get acquainted with the blow of the Russian at one time.

Datsik went to battle with a Cameroonian in a prison uniform and knocked him out of the ring with one blow!

“I’m getting ready to kill”

After his next release at the end of 2020, Red Tarzan decided to try his hand at the boxing ring. He did not have to wait long for an offer for a debut fight: in February 2021, he received the right to box against the Cameroonian kickboxer Tyson Dijon.

The interest in the fight was great. The fight was actively promoted by the athletes themselves, who scandalized at joint events. So, at a face-to-face meeting, Datsik brought a bunch of bananas with him and handed it to a black opponent. Naturally, Dijon regarded this act of Red Tarzan as a racist gesture and threw the fruit back at his opponent.

Datsik was serious about winning this fight. As part of his preparation, he even tried to improve his striking technique as much as possible by working with renowned coach Mark Meltzer. The specialist, by the way, spoke positively about the possibilities of Vyacheslav. In an interview, Red Tarzan also shared his transcendent mood with journalists:

– When I was young, I said: I’m not ready to die – you don’t need to enter the ring. Now I’m not ready to die, so I’m training, I’m getting ready to kill, – quotes the words of the athlete channel “REN TV“.

Tyson did not remain silent and harshly answered the Russian fighter in a video message recorded in Russian:

— Slava, I’m coming for you. I’ll dry your head! – said the Cameroonian athlete to the REN TV channel.

Threw an opponent out of the ring

Immediately before the start of the fight, the organizers decided to arrange a funny entry for Datsik into the ring. They dressed him up in the form of a prisoner, alluding to his recent exit from places not so remote. But Red Tarzan was wearing an American-style prison uniform. Vyacheslav was not very upset and laughed it off in his usual manner. He referred with a smile to the organizers, who, in his opinion, decided to please Roy Jones, who was present at this fight.

Datsik’s scandalous antics continued after the starting gong of the four-round match. Tyson, according to the established custom, handed Vyacheslav a glove as a sign of respect, but Red Tarzan decided to deliver a sweeping blow with his left hand instead of a greeting. The discouraged opponent, due to a good reaction, softened Datsik’s attack.

In the starting segment, Dijon tried to act at a distance, periodically approaching to strike. But Red Tarzan regularly caught the Cameroonian during his attacks. One of these hits resulted in Tyson flying several meters straight into the neutral corner.

Before the start of the second segment, Dijon was already much more accurate, holding out the glove. Datsik again behaved not in the best way, but this time the opponent was ready. Tyson’s fuse was not enough for the entire distance of the round. In the end, he again missed several powerful blows from Vyacheslav.

The third round was held with the total advantage of Datsik. He constantly went forward to the opponent, attacking him. Dijon tried to get away with fast footwork. The Cameroonian also ran from the opponent in the first seconds of the final segment – until Red Tarzan achieved a powerful hit. Tyson went into deep defense, and Vyacheslav rushed to finish him off.

Unable to withstand the hail of Datsik’s blows, the shocked Tyson fell between the ropes. Only the security officers who came to the rescue saved the Cameroonian from falling. They returned him to the ring, where he was considered defeated, as he refused to continue the fight.

For this brilliant victory, Datsik was immediately awarded a huge cup played at the tournament. Tyson was still trying to rehabilitate himself in a new fight with Red Tarzan, but their re-confrontation ended with the victory of the Russian by unanimous decision.
