MMA fighter Lane: “I have always dreamed of boxing”

American mixed martial arts fighter Julian Lane, who will fight under the rules of boxing with Russian kickboxer Vlad Tuinov on October 7 as part of the PRAVDA tournament, said that he dreamed of becoming a boxer since childhood, but began his sports career as a wrestler.

“In the area where I lived, there was no boxing section. So one day my mother signed me up for wrestling, and I began to do it. For a long time this was my way of life. And now, 20 years later, I finally can return to your old dream – boxing”, Lane said.

He noticed that he always enters the ring for victory and counts only on it. Lane intends to win in Moscow as well.

“I’m looking forward to a good fight from the PRAVDA tournament and I want to continue boxing. Who knows, maybe one day I will face Jake Paul or Conor McGregor. Then my dream would come true. I would like to participate in big boxing matches,” – said the American athlete.

Recall that the main event of the PRAVDA boxing evening on October 7 will be the fight between Magomed Ismailov and Serbian Alexander Ilich.

In addition, viewers will see the broadcast of three more fights: Muboraksho Muborakshoev vs. Timur Nikulin, Nikolai Chibis vs. Rasul Mirzaev, Julian Lane vs. Vlad Tuinov.
