The Belarusian heavyweight told about preparation for fight with Badra the Venerable Belarusian drummer Alexey "A red scorpion" Ignashov – quadruple the world champion in Thai boxing and the winner of two Grand Prix of K-1 - will meet on November 8 a vrabber-match the Dutch nokauter Badr Hari by the nickname "Golden boy". Fight of heavyweights becomes one of the central events of the second combative show "Legend" which will pass in Moscow on the Small sports Luzhniki arena.

ValeTudo.ru contacted Alexey to learn in what form and with what mood he will approach to a revenge with the "eternal" rival.

ValeTudo.ru: Alexey, tell how you received the offer to become the participant of the Legend tournament.

Even in the summer I got acquainted with Ruslan (the president of Club of Single combats No. 1 Ruslan Suleymanov — the Comment). We made friends. After a while he suggested me to participate in tournament, on what I and agreed. It was pleasant to me to receive this offer, as at this tournament very good level of the organization. I speak with confidence because is to what to compare: for the career I saw them much.

ValeTudo.ru: How you prepare for fight?

I adhere to the usual schedule of trainings: in the morning and in the evening.

ValeTudo.ru: Whether you thought, what you will meet Badr for the third time?

Wouldn't tell that I dreamed of it. The good fighter, rigid, it has Badrik strong hands, there are secret. That good preparation is certainly necessary to box with it. When K-1 left from the arena it became difficult to think of it. Before we were a big family, all worked in one sheaf therefore the first numbers and perspective fighters were visible. And after problems with K-1 financing everything collapsed. Each promotion started signing the fighters on the contract which didn't allow them to act in other organizations.

ValeTudo.ru: Many consider that Badr in connection with the problems with the law, any more that. You agree with it?

Earlier Badr was more skillful, but he remains very dangerous physically strong fighter. I think that problems with the law at it arose, first of all, because of problems with themselves, but this is Badrik, it always such was (laughs). If to it to concentrate, he can be the extremely dangerous rival.

ValeTudo.ru: On the first show Zabit Samedov took a revenge from Hari. Whether you think, what now Badr is more motivated after loss?

Certainly. He will box again in Moscow, on the same tournament, and he can't lose on it the second time. It needs to prove that Badr Hari can still a lot of things. I think, it will seriously treat this fight. Badrik has to show all, for what he earns the blood.

ValeTudo.ru: Alexey, you so sincerely call — Badrik with what it is connected?

the ohm of Hari, motivation and level of the rival, and also gave the forecast for an outcome of the Grand Prix of "Legend".

I so call many friends of fighters. For example, Remy Bonyaski I name by Roma, Peter Artsa — Petja, and Badra — Badrik, at all I don't remember when it began.

ValeTudo.ru: Mirko Filipovich is known for the sense of humour. Came across on its jokes?

Personally I didn't come across. Once we with it together played a trick on his manager. During a sparring, just before its fight with St. Petersburg, already closer to the end of training, Mirko speaks to me: take me for the head and pretend that you beat on it a knee. I accompanied. Mirko so beautifully played, fell to a ring, fainted and lay without moving. The manager took off on a ring, started shouting, sighing and gasping. Mirko very long laughed at it, and he in reply very long swore. It seems didn't take offense at us, even sneakers to me I presented.

ValeTudo.ru: Your forecast for the Grand Prix? Who will win and why?

Four very strong. I think, in the ending it will be hammered from Pashas Zhuravlyovs. In general it was still interesting to me to look at Chingiz from Enrico, it is a pity that Gogokhiya was injured. Excellent fight would turn out.

ValeTudo.ru: You managed to support the career in many largest promotions of the world what you expect from "Legend"?

I looked last show at which my friends spoke, and it very much was pleasant to me. First, because of serious файткарда: one stars of world size gathered. Secondly — because it occurs in Moscow, instead of somewhere in Europe, and we can have SUCH tournaments!

ValeTudo.ru: Tell a couple of words to your admirers and the audience who will come to show.

You come on November 8 to support all me and all athletes of the Legend tournament. It will be very interesting. To all I wish good mood.
