Former Bellator champion Minakov admitted that he could have retired in 2014

Former Bellator champion Vitaly Minakov admitted that he could have retired in 2014.

— I received all the main injuries related to the musculoskeletal system while working with heavy weights while still competing in wrestling. Squats, jumping on bedside tables with a barbell – it was stupid stupidity when you have a ton of strength and want to jump out of your pants. The coach was chasing me with a plastic pipe when he saw this. This is how I destroyed my knee.

In 2014 I was overloaded. I overloaded my heart, I had to take a break – then I thought that I would end my career. For two years I worked and never entered the gym – I simply couldn’t. At the end of 2015, he underwent examination, recovered and received the green light to continue his career. I realized that if you go through life and train, you can’t relax. You are in the gym every day – even if you break your arm or get sick, you are still there. Psychologically, you understand that you remain in the process and are not distracted. As soon as you are distracted, as soon as your brain feels other benefits, when you can sleep enough and not run cross-country, then at first you are pulled back, and then you don’t want to. It’s already in your head, nonsense begins – or maybe you should lie down, not attack in sparring, or just hit the bag. Getting back into shape is very difficult. But now I really panicked and wanted to return to the life I was in,” RB Sport quotes Minakov.

    British heavyweight boxer Conor Benn (22-0, 14 KOs) spoke about the upcoming fight between WBC heavyweight title holder Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) and WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF champion Alexander Usik (21-0, 14 KOs). .

    “I’ll bet on the British any time of day. Say what you want about Fury, but he’s an exciting heavyweight who brings this party to life. He is a beast, with ferocious proportions, anthropometry, and abilities. I don’t think there are many heavyweights who can beat Fury right now. Even though he wasn’t at his best in the last fight, they were there for whatever reason. Everyone has good days, every fighter has bad days. Maybe that’s exactly what happened.

    If Fury focuses on the fight with Usyk, I don’t see how Alexander will approach him. But on the other hand, if Tyson is like Francis Ngannou, it won’t do him any good,” Benn said in an interview on YouTube channel Through The Ropes.

    The fight will take place on February 17, 2024 in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia).
