The Emelianenko brothers are familiar to all fans of sports such as boxing, sambo, hand-to-hand combat. The eldest of them, Fedor, achieved top results. And what do we know about the youngest representative of the star trio - Ivan?
Ivan Emelianenko: biography, family, photo
In one of the simplest Ukrainian families, real three heroes were born and raised. The eldest is Fedor, the middle one is Alexander, and the youngest, according to all fairy-tale rules, is Ivan. The brothers have an older sister, Marina.
The mother of these children worked as a teacher, and the father worked as a welder. When the family moved to Stary Oskol, they found themselves in a really deplorable situation: they were given a room in a communal apartment, where they had dried clothes before, so everyone can imagine its size.
The large family had no choice but to huddle and live in such conditions as they are, because they had no funds to build a house or buy a larger apartment.
The eldest of the brothers was the first to visit sport sections, including combat. He worked hard, Alexander soon followed his example. Ivan Emelianenko, whose biography eventually developed in the same area as the brothers, for a long time did not want to follow them.
About Ivan
The younger Emelianenko was born in 1988. The age difference with the brothers was significant, so the boy grew up and developed separately from them. He was not attracted gym, but he was not predisposed to science either. Therefore, after graduating from school, he nevertheless began to develop in the field of sports, having entered the St. Petersburg University at one of the sports departments.
In the future, Ivan Emelianenko became closer to his brothers and began to stubbornly engage in boxing and sambo. He decided that serving in the army would also benefit him, and voluntarily joined the draft board.
After completing the service, Ivan receives the title of Master of Sports in Combat SAMBO and hand-to-hand combat, but does not want to further develop and go into professional sports. The brothers are trying hard to influence their relative, being one of the the best coaches but the guy remains at the amateur boxing level.
Fedor explained the fact that Ivan Emelianenko did not become a professional by the fact that he was simply not yet ready either mentally or physically for fights with professionals. He will not be allowed until they understand that they can be released into the professional ring.
Alexander did not begin to talk about the fact that his brother was preparing, but honestly called his brother a lazy person. He said that with his physique and professional brothers, if you wish, you can become a boxing star. He himself is personally ready to make a serious opponent out of the boy, but he simply does not want to overwork himself. But professional sports is a constant work on oneself.
Ivan's victory
Ivan Emelianenko, biography, best fights which are presented in this article, nevertheless had success for some time.
His most productive competition was the championship in St. Petersburg in hand-to-hand combat. The competition was held in three rounds, and Ivan won in each of them. He deservedly won the first two due to the greater number of points scored, and in the third he knocked out the opponent. It was here that Ivan received the title of MS in hand-to-hand combat.
In the future, the guy received many offers from Korea to participate in professional fights without rules, where he could get good popularity and earnings. But Ivan Emelianenko saw himself only in sambo, so the FMS of Korea received refusals.
Security business
Ivan found himself in another area. He took up private security and created his own agency. This business brings a man not only a great income, but also a real pleasure.
It turned out that the younger Emelianenko did not want to use the big names of his brothers in order to build a career, but he himself found his own direction without resorting to the help of Fedor and Alexander.
In general, they have a very friendly family. IN last years the Emelianenko brothers were united by a common grief, they lost their father. Now all three successful sons take care of their mother, whom they love immensely.
Despite all the plight that the family was once in, the children were able to achieve heights in this life, not to take the path of criminals in order to raise money. The mother and father of these guys deserve a low bow and gratitude from all of Russia for raising such sons, no matter what.
The brothers want to say: full speed ahead! Don't stop there!
