Russian MMA fighter Magomed Ismailov has a good chance of winning the fight against Nigerian Olanrewaju Durodola. This opinion was expressed on February 23 by the champion of AMC Fight Nights Russian Vladimir Mineev.
The meeting of the fighters will take place on February 25 as part of the REN TV Fight Club.
“On the 25th, I will be in Sakhalin, but I will definitely turn on the TV at that moment and will cheer for Ismailov with all my might,” Minaev emphasized in an interview with the Sport-Express newspaper.
In his opinion, in order to win, the Russian must adhere to his tactics.
“I think he has a great chance of winning this fight if he sticks to his tactics. Durodola does not have much time to bring his plan to the end. In this fight, I give 80% to the victory of Ismailov, ”said the athlete.
On February 22, the opponents held open training before the upcoming match. The Russian had a training session with his mentor, Kostya Tszyu.
After training, Durodola said that Ismailov did not have the fast punches characteristic of boxers. According to the athlete, the fighter likes to transfer opponents to the ground, beat them there, but this is boxing, and there are different rules. Also, the Nigerian called himself an aggressive fighter.
Ismailov, in turn, stressed that the meeting with Durodola is an important stage in his career. He also admitted that he was nervous before the fight, while he was determined to win.
The fight between Ismailov and Durodola will be the main fight of the REN TV tournament. In another fight, world boxing champion Mark Petrovsky and Kenyan boxer Collins Oyal will meet. In addition, within the framework of the show, the duel of the fighter Maxim Shcherbakov with his former coach Albert Karmazyan will take place.
