On July 27, former MMA world champion "6 billion strongest man" Fido Emilenko intends to return to the field, but this time he did not walk into the octagon cage, but stepped into the square boxing ring, aiming at the opponent of the world boxing king "Boxing God" Roy Jones in the first four levels. However, the match is not an official match with a record, but a boxing exhibition match.
The 44-year-old Fido is a legend in the MMA world, with a good record of 39 wins, 6 losses and 1 resultless record in his twenty-year career, but due to his age, Fido is no longer competitive, so he has gradually faded out of the octagonal cage. However, with the success of Tyson and Roy Jones's exhibition last year, many retired veterans have been interested in returning to play the exhibition game.
Fido said: "I am very interested, I have been working with Lebidev for a while, since 2000, I have not stopped practicing boxing, if I come back, I will not choose to play as an influencer or singer, I will only play with professional boxers." Roy Jones is a legend in the world of boxing, his achievements are quite impressive, he will always be Jones, although the speed is not as good as it was then. ”
Meanwhile, Jones has repeatedly said in recent months that he wants to play a few more exhibition games, including a retired former heavyweight champion and Carl Fucci, and Jones has also received offers from many rich people to play another professional game, but Jones has politely declined, saying that he will not play some meaningless opponents for money.
However, if Jones does play a formal boxing match this year, rather than an exhibition match, he will become the third boxer in history after Duran and Mambi to compete in a five-decade span, an achievement that will add to the highlight of his great boxing career, but this match must be scheduled at the end of the year, because before the end of the year, Roy Jones will participate in the International Boxing Hall of Fame, and the first indicator of the selection is that the boxer must be retired for three years to qualify.
