“He will have to answer for everything”: Datsik - about Emelianenko’s revenge, clowning before entering the ring and the right way

- Well-known promoter Vladimir Khryunov said:

- You know, I will answer you this way: thanks to Vika, I am not in prison.

And that has already said it all.

It is difficult to understand why this happened, but after meeting my wife, I completely settled down and stopped leading my former cheerful lifestyle.

Something clicked in my head, and I realized: I can’t continue like this, it’s time to change.

- Why did you decide to make your spouse also your manager?

“I think she's doing great.

She took care of all the organizational issues and is doing them very well, and I am focused on sports.

Your daughter was born last year.

Has it made life difficult in terms of routine, schedule, normal sleep?

- Sleep is a separate sore subject.

As they say, we only dream of him.

But with sports, there were definitely no problems.

The girl sets her father a load, be healthy - just keep up with her.

There is complete anarchy at home.

It can be said that my change is growing.

Future boxing champion.

- With the advent of the child, did you have a new motivation?

— Of course.

I dedicate all my victories to her.

Yes, even not only them, but also simple training, the entire sports career.

Moreover, she takes an active part in the classes.

True, at the moment I'm more of a horse

.

Has she already watched your fights on TV?

“Although she had just turned one year old, she not only saw them, but also attended the arena in person.

My daughter has been to all my fights since she was born.

We take it easy with us.

And she is very responsive to what is happening.

- At 42, you regularly enter the ring and are not going to end your career.

Is it possible to say that now you are taking from sports what you did not take in previous years?

- Yes, do not forget that I have a serious discount - 13 years in the "sanatorium".

I'm talking about my time in places of detention.

Therefore, it is necessary to catch up.

Now I get great pleasure from everything that happens.

It's hard to say how long I will continue.

On the one hand, before my eyes there is an example of Jeff Monson, who fights at 51, but is experiencing great health problems.

He had too many tough fights, but nevertheless he still comes out and fights, including with me.

- One gets the impression that in recent years you have become softer and kinder and do not speak so harshly about rivals, for example, about the same Alexander Emelianenko.

Is wisdom manifested or do you no longer experience that aggression?

- It’s just that now I understand one simple thing: there is no point in clownery before entering the ring.

You will see all the kindness, anger, rage and fury of Red Tarzan directly during the duel with Emelianenko.

These emotions have not gone away either, everything just has its place and time.

- After defeating Saulo Cavalari, you compared yourself to a wild boar. 

- As for the words of Cavalari, yes, he tried to insult me, but received a harsh response.

He confused the animals a bit and what they are.

Personally, I don’t associate myself with a wild boar.

- Does the nickname Phoenix given by the fans suit your opponent?

“What else Phoenix… As far as I know, all friends call him only Bruise.”

It stuck to him firmly.

And there is no need to invent any Phoenixes.

It is the managers who write everything and try to invent a new name for Emelianenko. 

“However, it is difficult to disagree with the fact that over the past few months, dramatic changes have taken place with him.

- The ring will show who is capable of what.

Yes, he looks vigorous and fit, has lost more than 20 kg.

But in vain he did it ... 

- That is, the form of the opponent does not impress you?

— Absolutely.

He can be overpowered with a single blow to the liver.

Then he will walk around the ring, bending over.

But it would be nice to perform a branded collective farm.

Sasha needs to understand: he will have to answer for all the insults uttered against me over the past 13 years.

I'll pay him back with interest. 

- Are you set up exclusively for a knockout?

- I want to end our confrontation ahead of schedule.

I don't see any other scenario for myself.

Let's say we bring the fight to the decision of the judges.

But what will happen next?

There is no guarantee that they will not issue an unfair verdict.

That is why you need to remove all questions at once.

Only knockout.

There can be no other outcome, especially given our many years of conflict.

Again, he will have to answer for everything.
