A Russian boxing promotion has booked a fight between neo-Nazi ex-con Vyacheslav Datsik and convicted rapist Alexander Emelianenko.
The news was first reported by Emelianenko, who posted a video of himself and Datsik signing their contracts on Telegram. The fight is scheduled to take place in September under the Hardcore Boxing banner.
Best known for his KO victory against former UFC champion Andrei Arlovski, Datsik has a lengthy criminal history that includes assault, robbery, murder threats, raiding brothels to humiliate sex workers, and escaping from a psychiatric unit.
