Combat sports pioneers Jeff Monson and Oleg Taktarov are making a comeback.
Per a report on social media, Monson and Taktarov will step into the squared circle for a three-round boxing match in Moscow on August 18. Monson, a veteran of multiple combat sports promotions, including the UFC, Strikeforce, and M-1, has remained fairly active, last competing in October 2021 while Taktarov will be stepping inside the ring for the first time since 2008.
According to the report, Monson and Takarov will compete in a boxing bout that consists of three two-minute rounds. Despite the bout being less than a week away, there is little promotion to be found.
