Kirill Kornilov spoke about his upcoming fight against Khadis Ibragimov, which will take place on September 12 at ACA 207 in Krasnodar.
The two heavyweights know each other well from training together, although they have not crossed paths in recent years. According to Kornilov, his opponent may have changed significantly during that time, but Kirill believes he will be able to find the key to beating Ibragimov.
“We used to train together with Khadis and did a lot of rounds, but we haven’t crossed paths for about four years now. He could have completely changed during that time, but I think I’ll be able to find the key to him.
It won’t be like his fight with Goncharov. Personally, I felt that Evgeny was using wrestling to escape when Khadis was coming at him with a loaded right hand. I never initiate the wrestling myself, I only defend against it.
I really enjoy fighting on the feet. I’m ready to trade with anyone. Khadis is the same way. He’s not the kind of fighter who shoots for a takedown from the opening seconds, ” Kornilov said.
The fight between Kirill Kornilov and Khadis Ibragimov will take place on September 12 at ACA 207 in Krasnodar.
