Emelianenko told when he will hold a farewell fight

Legendary Russian heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko said that he wants to have a farewell fight in August for the Bellator championship belt.

“Unfortunately, it turns out that the fight will not take place in Russia. I am ready to fight anywhere that will end my career. I would like to fight for the belt, the Bellator rating allows me to fight for the title in the last fight. Now in May there will be a duel between Cheick Kongo and Ryan Bader, with one of them I would like to fight in a career-ending fight, I would like it to be Bader. The fight may be at the same tournament with Vadim Nemkov in August, ”TASS quotes Emelianenko.

The 45-year-old Emelianenko fought his last fight in October last year, knocking out Timothy Johnson in the first round.
