Russian light heavyweight MMA fighter Ivan Shtyrkov commented on a possible fight against Magomed Ismailov according to boxing rules.
On the eve of Ismailov, on the air of Match TV, he again announced his readiness to fight according to the rules of boxing with Shtyrkov.
– There is no specifics on the battle with Maga yet, this has not yet been discussed with the highest leadership. By what rules would you like to fight him? I’m ready for any challenge, it doesn’t matter to me – even in fencing (laughs).
We have a story with Maga, I think it’s interesting. Since our fight in the ASA, we have become even more media. As people say, I grew up in terms of sports. He also boxed, like Maga, showed good fights. I think our confrontation, both in boxing and in MMA, will be interesting. Maybe we will fight both there and there – it all depends on the interest of people who are ready to invest. In mixed martial arts, we have already created a history of confrontation, and now it can be created in boxing, – Metaratings.ru quotes Shtyrkov.
In 2020, Ismailov defeated Shtyrkov by a judicial decision in a duel according to the rules of mixed martial arts.
