“Let’s look at the sellers from the tent stalls. Who cares at all?” – Lebedev about the fight between Dzyuba and Emelianenko
Russian boxer Denis Lebedev is negative about the idea of holding a boxing match between football player Artem Dzyuba and MMA fighter Alexander Emelianenko.
Earlier, promoter Alexander Khryunov announced his readiness to organize a fight between athletes. Emelianenko said that he would agree to a duel, but added that Dzyuba had no chances in such a meeting.
– I see no reason to fight between Emelianenko and Dziuba. Let’s look at the sellers of tent stalls. Who cares at all? Why then Alexander’s proposal? Hype and nothing else. It’s one of the “easy” ways to get on and get talked about. Sanya is my colleague and friend. In fact, we haven’t talked to him for a long time. But believe me, there was a time when he was an excellent man. He has shortcomings: he drinks and is not shy about it, speaks openly about it, admits that he is a hooligan. He was asked if he could promise not to drink anymore, and the answer was: “Of course not!”
Why is that? Because Satan is so cunning, he will sneak up at the most inopportune moment and set the bandwagon. Despite this, Sasha is a normal guy. It’s just that people are getting a little mean. Everyone needs hype. Nobody can help him. Perhaps he himself is not ready to give up everything. He was helped and will be helped, because deep down he is a good guy.
Who would win? What are you! Of course, Emelianenko. Artem has other hobbies, – Sport24 quotes Lebedev.
Emelianenko had his last MMA fight in November 2021, when he lost to Marcio Santos. In total, in mixed martial arts, the 41-year-old fighter won 28 victories, suffered 9 defeats, and ended one fight in a draw. In fights according to the rules of boxing, Emelianenko has two victories, a defeat and a draw. In the last boxing match in September, Emelianenko lost to Vyacheslav Datsik at the 13th second.
Dzyuba until recently was a player of the Turkish Adana Demirspor, but terminated the contract with the club and is now a free agent.
