Former world boxing champion Denis Lebedev told Match TV that he did not advise Fedor Emelianenko to fight Mike Tyson according to boxing rules. His words are quoted “Match TV”.
“Fedor is my friend, we are friends. Of course, if something happens, I will support him. My opinion is that Fedor can beat Tyson only by luck. I would not recommend Fedor to do this. But from a sports promotion perspective, this is a better fight than any other. “Tyson is a world figure, so is Fedor,” Lebedev said.
On February 5, Fedor Emelianenko lost to American Ryan Bader in his last fight. The fight, which took place within the scope of the Bellator 290 tournament, ended with the defeat of Russia in the first round. In total, the Russian athlete had 48 fights in MMA, of which he had 40 wins and seven defeats.
Former boxer Mike Tyson had 58 fights in his professional career and managed to achieve 50 wins (44 by knockout) with two defeats. Two more fights were voided.
