Magomed Ismailov may hang up his gloves after a heavy knockout in his fight with Vladimir Mineyev. The 35-year-old athlete's brother and trainer Ramazan Ismailov said.

"The initial feeling is that we're done here, that Maga will finish his career. That's what we think at the moment. It's just that kind of emotion... Now a day or two will pass, he will calm down, we will already see. We need to keep a cool head and think everything over," Ramazan Ismailov said at the press conference.

On the night of October 17, Ismailov lost to Mineyev by knockout in the third round in the fight for the AMC Fight Night middleweight title.
