Emelianenko set his sights on a boxing fight with Tyson

Former PRIDE Heavyweight Champion Fedor Emelianenko spoke about his desire to try his hand at the boxing ring with the legendary Mike Tyson.

In February of this year, the Russian ended his career after a crushing knockout defeat from Ryan Bader, but, apparently, he is not yet ready to say goodbye to professional sports.

“I definitely finished with MMA. I want to try my hand at boxing, I'm interested. After the fight with Bader, I began to swing a little more to gain muscle and close problem areas. Now I have recovered and rested, I want to try boxing.

Work in this direction has just begun, there have not yet been any negotiations with promoters. Dream Opponent? It would be interesting to meet Mike Tyson. He performed in heavyweight, this is a significant name, ”Emelianenko said on The MMA Hour show.
