Emelianenko revealed what is hindering the fight with Tyson

Former Pride Champion Fedor Emelianenko told how negotiations for a boxing match with the legendary Mike Tyson.

“There were negotiations, negotiations are ongoing. This fight was scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia. Several negotiations took place – there were representatives from both my side and Tyson’s side. There was such an intrigue... He announced that he would not fight with me. I don’t think it will be a 12 round fight. But the regulations will be discussed. It seems like there is agreement on both our sides, but there must be funding,” Emelianenko said.

Let us remember that Emelianenko retired after losing by knockout to Ryan Bader in February last year.
