47-year-old Emelianenko wants to fight with Ngannou

Famous former mixed martial arts fighter Fedor Emelianenko stated that he would like to have a boxing match with the former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.

“I’m generally interested in Francis Ngannou, I’d like to fight him in boxing. I watched his fight with Fury and I would like to fight him. Perhaps this, of course... is not exactly inflated self-esteem, but I would be interested in having a duel with him too.

I still have the hunger for the fight. That's why I'm still in construction, I'm interested. I understand that I’m not good at MMA. I have injuries and have already excluded wrestling from my training. I went into the fight with Bader in this state because I had responsibilities to Bellator, Scott Coker. I wanted to finish this story,” Emelianenko said in an interview with the Ushataika YouTube channel.

Let us remind you that Emelianenko retired from MMA after a knockout loss to Ryan Bader in February last year.
