In search of the money, Iván risks repeating the mistake of Red Tarzan.
Mixed martial arts fans are constantly surprised by Vyacheslav Datsik’s stamina. He was fighting two fights a week, and last December he was going to fight three times a month. But in the end, health continued to fail. Now another top Russian fighter, Ivan Shtyrkov, decided to prove himself in terms of strength. At 34, he ventured into a mighty marathon.
On August 26, the Hardcore Boxing tournament will take place at the CSKA Arena. Shtyrkov, who recently made his boxing debut, will also perform in its framework. True, not very well – Ivan lost to Magomed Ismailov. However, he survived all six rounds and lost only by court decision. One of the referees even gave the Ural Hulk the win, but the other two supported the Bald Predator.
Now Shtyrkov has a great chance to seal the defeat. Ivan’s new rival will be Konstantin Erokhin, nicknamed the Russian Bear. He has a strong background in MMA, even competing in the UFC. In total, Erokhin made 14 fights in mixed martial arts, 10 of which ended in victories. Nine times Konstantin sent his opponents to the knockout. Therefore, Ivan will face very serious opposition.
Great interview with Ural Hulk:
Exclusive
“Friendship is friendship, denyuzhki – apart.” Ivan Shtyrkov is ready to fight with bare fists, pay up!
The very fact of the duel does not seem surprising, something else confuses. Most recently, Shtyrkov spoke about his future and announced that on September 22 he will perform at a major RCC MMA tournament. While the opponent is not reported. But there were rumors that the organization would try to arrange a rematch with Magomed Ismailov. Also, Ivan’s conflict with Datsik also looks potentially interesting. While they only exchange rude words and insults. But if there is a chance to get into the cage and find out the relationship, they will definitely take advantage of it.
On November 4, Shtyrkov will face another matchup, but according to the rules of kickboxing. And the opponent is the one above. Ivan will fight Vladimir Mineev. Of course, at the moment there is no talk of his complete preparation. But the Ural Hulk himself keeps the situation under control and tries to help organize the battle. Shtyrkov said that he had no doubts about the fight, he estimated the probability of him at 100%.
We talked about Vladimir’s chances:
Will a trained Mineev fly away from Shtyrkov? Not even a lot of weight will help
It turns out that in 70 days Ivan will have three fights in three different types of martial arts. And, apparently, all three opponents will be the best, so the marathon will be the main test of strength for Shtyrkov. And most importantly, the Ural Hulk will be able to prove to Datsik that in terms of sports endurance he is no worse. Perhaps it is after this that we will see the collision of these two blocks.
