During a recent press conference, Artur Beterbiev faced questions about potential offers to enter the realm of MMA. Notably, not so long ago, he was reminded of his interest in training with MMA legend Georges St-Pierre. The inquiry hinted at the possibility of the accomplished boxer venturing into the world of MMA.
Beterbiev said, “We, as boxers, promote the sport. And it’d be interesting to fight their champion with MMA rules. Me – a boxing champ in my weight class – against their champion; whoever it is. That’d be interesting. I don’t think that’s been done before, specifically with MMA rules.” Furthermore, he continued, “As far as training with Khabib and Georges, our sports are different. But if I get an MMA fight, I’d ask them to help me and share their experience with me.”
