Famous actor and showman Nikita Dzhigurda said that he wanted to fight mixed style fighter Alexander Emelianenko.
Dzhigurda, 60, previously won a fight with State Duma deputy Vitaly Milonov as part of the "Nashe Delo" promotion. The meeting was held by the rules of fist fight in MMA gloves.
"Now I was asked if I was ready to fight Tarasov after his defeat, and I said I was. We're even in the same weight class: I have 82.5 kg now, and he has 86. Well it is already serious fight, it is necessary to be prepared for it. Are you ready on fight with Emelianenko? There`s a half a year preparation: to put on weight, to train in the gym. Alexander Emelianenko is a great fighter. I've already said I'm not against it, but I have to fight Tarasov first.
"As for Alexander's interview about me, yes, I know he said that Jigurda has sand coming out of his ass. Like, he won't come out with me because he doesn't want to die. I already told you, I will! But not like this. Again, he's a great fighter and he was right to move closer to show business, because among professionals he's already... And here, there's a line for him. But I'm not afraid of death - that's one. And two - I'm not afraid to go out there and put on a show. You need to motivate me and give me six months to prepare, to restore breathing, and that everything was spectacular," said Jigurda.
