“Chakhkiev is a professional boxer, why is he climbing to me?”
Russian mixed martial arts enthusiasts continue to actively discuss a possible duel between MMA fighter Alexander Emelianenko and Olympic boxing champion Rakhim Chakhkiev. The latter challenged his opponent and offered to fight in the ring, but he answered that he was ready to fight according to the rules of mixed martial arts.
As a result, Chakhkiev accused Alexander of cowardice and stated that they, along with Mikhail Koklyaev, "went into his territory and set up a circus there." Rakhim did not stop there and continued to put pressure on Emelianenko Jr. On social networks, he published a new appeal to the counterpart.
“Today you drive me into a“ cage ”and offer MMA rules, but MMA is a street fight. I offer you classics, classic boxing. I do not offer you Olympic boxing, in which you would hardly have succeeded in winning. You should not be afraid of anything. I will accept your terms. It can be two, and five, and eight, but at least 16 rounds. I'm ready for 15. Are you ready? Take the challenge, ”Chakhkiev said in a video posted on the page on Instagram.

If Emelianenko didn’t react to the previous attack of the boxer, this time he could not restrain himself.
“I think Chakhkiev will not agree to fight according to the rules of MMA. I will translate it and break my arm. He will sit and grieve, ”Emelianenko said in an interview with Oksana Kravtsova’s YouTube channel.
Alexander also explained why he agreed to meet in the ring with Strongman Koklyaev.
“The fight was not held for the sake of the show, in order to play something there, fall, slip. We just went out and found the relationship according to the rules of boxing, and not via the Internet. The man went out, rebuilt and in the ring tried his luck - to beat me. I know too well the thing where Koklyaev climbed. And it seems to him that he has already managed to master it. Here is the result: he lay down to rest, ”the athlete added.
In addition, the fighter complained that after the victory over Koklyaev, he was regularly challenged even on social networks. Alexander said that because of the shaft of such posts on Instagram, he even had to close the “direct” on Instagram.
“Now everyone will call Emelianenko. But I’m not a boxer, let's better play chess with him then. Or did the whole world converge on me? Do not give him something, fights? Do not organize? Chakhkiev is a professional boxer, why is he crawling towards me? ”Sports-Express quotes the athlete.
New challenge Emelianenko from a former teammate
Meanwhile, another challenge to Emelianenko was thrown by ex-Akhmat League partner Yevgeny Goncharov. He commented on the appearance on the Internet of a video with Alexander’s sparring with Arbi Madayev, which is significantly inferior to him in size. Despite this, the Chechen fighter managed to send Emelianenko Jr. to a serious knockdown, after which he struggled to his feet. Goncharov told the details of that fight.
“Madaev is a good fighter, boxing is at the level of a master of sports. I heard this story. Alexander, when he was at the training camp in the club "Akhmat", he himself invited Bal to spar. Although they have a difference in weight categories: one fought according to (rules. - RT ) MMA at 77 kg, the other at 120 kg. And Alexander attacked, charged up with blows - the punishment came this way. Emelianenko likes to say that he is invincible, that he is the best fighter. Well, here you go: the guy came out, who performs three categories below, and sent him to canvas, ”the Match TV athlete quotes.
After that, Goncharov admitted that he himself did not mind meeting with Emelianenko, and he was ready to fight absolutely free.
“I did not offend Alexander. I correctly proposed a fight to him: I was and remain the champion of the Akhmat League, and Emelianenko was in the ranking immediately after me. In response, he began to say nasty things about me. Therefore, I want him to answer for the words. I don’t need money and PR. I’m ready to fight even for free - just so that people don’t think that I, like Koklyaev, earn five million per battle. For me, in this case, money is not the main thing. I’m ready, I repeat, to fight in this fight for free, ”the fighter said.
Goncharov suggested that Emelianenko Jr. hold the match last year, but he not only refused, but also allowed himself quite insulting attacks on the former teammate.
“Who is Goncharov? This is funny. Let him fight somewhere. Where did he fight? I will tell you a story. There was training at the Akhmat club. And Goncharov came there. For about two or three weeks I saw Goncharov in the hall, but I did not know who it was. He with his pouting lips ... Everyone there is extinct from this moment when he uploads his photo - this is how girls with “duck” lips, and Goncharov has no photograph, he puts his lips out. I do not know what he has with his lips. Well, he’s such a kind of straight frivolous. Feminine guy. And so he put on his lips for two weeks and left - I didn’t even know that it was Goncharov. Somewhere out there in the crowd he was running in training - just to not get up and grab me in sparring, ”quotes Alexander Sport24.
