Apparently 36-year-old Russian former world welterweight champion Ruslan Provodnikov could face former UFC fighter Ali Bagautdinova.
“I have seen Ali Bagautinov, a mixed martial arts fighter, challenged me to face me in a boxing match. Well, a true fighter doesn't leave a single challenge unanswered. Therefore, Ali, with great respect for you, I accept your challenge," wrote Conductors on Instagram.
Provodnikov made his last fight in June 2016 and thus decided to retire from boxing.
Ali Bagautdinov, 35, competed on the professional circuit in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
