A man who fights is a man who never rests. This is something that combat sports athletes live by. Some fighters just refuse to fade away and often find themselves returning back to the ring or octagon to reprise their role.
This is true for Russian MMA fighter Fedor Emelianenko. In a recent turn of events, Fedor has expressed his wish to step into a boxing ring and fight none other than the Iron Mike himself.
This has sent waves in the fighting community, as both the stars associated with this conversation are heavyweights in their own domain. As a result, fans are eager to see them butt heads in an ultimate demonstration of strength.

They released an official statement saying, “Fedor Emelianenko has called out Mike Tyson to a boxing match as Fedor looks to move into boxing following his retirement from MMA. Fedor likes the idea of co-main eventing the Fury vs. Ngannou card on October 28th in Saudi Arabia.“
This created a frenzy in the fighting community.
As soon as the news dropped, the internet went into chatter mode. Moreover, fans were busy speculating about the final result of this potential bout. Everyone is eager to see two of the most dangerous men in the world duking it out.
