The rematch between Emelianenko and Datsik has been made official

A year and a half after their first fight, Russian fighters Alexander Emelianenko and Vyacheslav Datsik will rematch on March 30 at Ural FC 7.

About the organization of the match officially reported the representatives of the league. The venue and the regulations of the fight will be announced later.

Both heavyweights are returning to action after serious health issues. Emelianenko, 42, spent most of last year being treated for alcohol addiction at the Iman rehabilitation center in Ingushetia, while Datsik, 44, was bitten by a dog in January of this year, nearly losing his arm as a result.

Recall that the boxing match between the Russian heavyweights, which took place in September 2022 at the Hardcore Boxing tournament, ended as early as the 12th second with Datsik winning by knockout, and two weeks later “Red Tarzan” sent Emelianenko to a knockdown at the league’s press conference as part of the “Minute” column.
