The press tour "PulseUp. Mineev — Ismailov", organized by the title partner PulseUp Energy with the support of "Synergy", concluded with a press conference at the RUSSIA EXPO. The event was dedicated to the third bout between the athletes, scheduled for July 20 under boxing rules.

"I see that we are step by step approaching an unprecedented event in Russian sports. We are talking about two irreconcilable rivals who will meet for the third time. There has been nothing comparable to this in Russian martial arts. If we compare it to football, it's like a match between 'Zenit' and 'Spartak'. But 'Zenit' and 'Spartak' matches happen at least twice a year, and we can afford to miss one. But Mineev and Ismailov fight once every three years. Don't miss their bout on July 20!" noted media manager and president of the promotion company "Fight Nights Global" Kamil Gadzhiev.

Vladimir Mineev and Magomed Ismailov have had two MMA bouts in 2018 and 2021, which ended in a draw and a victory for Mineev, respectively.

"In terms of a rematch, this fight is more necessary for Magomed. But facing him always ignites my interest. I will be 100% ready; I am still the same Mineev who wants to win. There is a belief that Magomed already has experience in boxing. Therefore, in professional boxing, I am a newcomer, no matter how surprising that may seem. I spend no less time in the gym. Now there is less than a month left. I am constantly in the gym, dedicating myself to this," noted Vladimir Mineev.

Magomed Ismailov emphasized that if he defeats Mineev in the boxing match, he will be ready to face him again under MMA rules.

"I wanted to have the third fight under MMA rules, but we couldn't reach an agreement. So, I had to say that I would outbox him. If I win the bout on July 20, I will tell Vladimir that I will be waiting for him in the cage," emphasized Magomed Ismailov.

The International RUSSIA EXPO showcases the most important achievements of the country in one place. Throughout the Exposition, cultural events, a rich business and educational program await the guests. The expositions of 89 Russian regions, leading federal agencies, corporations and public organizations are presented to the visitors. More than 16 million people have already visited the Exposition. The International RUSSIA EXPO takes place on the territory of VDNH in Moscow from November 4 to July 8.
