Sergey Kharitonov said he has a positive attitude towards the upcoming fight between Alexander Emelianenko and Artem Tarasov.
"Emelianenko should by no means be condemned for the fight with Artem Tarasov. He needs to live, earn and feed his family. And if he doesn't fight, he'll be homeless. Imagine, a man who used to perform abroad, is now lying somewhere homeless and finishing his last bottle... He is doing the right thing. He has nothing else to do and he has to fight somewhere," Kharitonov said.
The fight of Emelianenko and Tarasov will be held by boxing rules, but with MMA gloves.
