    Adamek returns after his loss against Miller in 2018. His opponent is a MMA fighter.

    Does he have enough left to win this fight?

    Boxing still probably favors Adamek. Khalidov is no spring chicken himself, even though he keeps in shape and is still pretty athletic capable of some impressive feats.

    Khalidov is 43 but still pretty spring and nimble.

    Different sport sure... But could be a somewhat risky fight for Adamek at this stage. Khalidov might not be a boxer but he's no bum. He's been a professional fighter for a long time and is capable on the feet.

    Everything is possible. Anderson Silva lost to Jake Paul but beat Chavez Jr. before and Chavez Jr. is probably not as shot as Adamek.

    Adamek is 47 already and hasn't fought in 5 years. Don't think he will look good.

    Khalidov is a beast

    Those Chechens have crazy genetics.

    This is a case of who has more left in the tank

    It's a shame he never competed in the UFC during his prime.

    Adamek is likely totally washed up and packing major broken glass in his chin.

    I've never seen the MMA fighter in action, but I'll pick him just based on how poor I reckon Adamek will be.

    There's also the (IMO, not unlikely) possibility that Silva's fight against Jake Paul was rigged from the word go.

    As you said yourself....everything is possible.

    Sad to see Goral still trying to make some cash in this dangerous business.

    Is this to be contested in boxing or MMA?

    Didn't know Khalidov was still fighting. I remember the UFC was really pushing hard to sign him around 08-09 after he fought on showtime and sengoku cards.
