The known fighter of the mixed single combats 33-year-old Sergey Haritonov carried out to Chicago superfight on a professional kickboxing. On the Glory 11 tournament the Russian athlete managed to win a victory the judicial decision over Englishman Deniyel Sam.

It is the first fight of Kharitonov after almost annual break. Sergey transferred AND operation was recovered. Now in plans of the Russian — performances on MMA, a kickboxing and even to professional boxing. In exclusive interview he told about it to the correspondent of "News" Vitaly Sirotinin.

— I shall fight on September 28, but my rival was injured. In this regard to me suggested to meet in superfight with Englishman Deniyel Sam — Kharitonov told. — This is the serious opponent. It benefited the Eight tournament where best of the best fight. Its growth — 1,97 m, and a weight — 123 kg dry muscular masses. 

— Whether we will see you in fights soon on миксфайту?

—  The kickboxing is necessary to me for form and earning money maintenance, but a front view of sports of MMA for me.  This month I, probably, will sign the contract with M-1.  In Glory now the most steep fighters — Daniel Gita, Ricky Verkhoven, Eroll Cimmerman too compete.  And in K-1 those whom didn't take in Glory appear. 

— By the way, in K-1 now champion Kro Kop who should give a revenge to Alexander Emelyanenko. Who will win?

— I don't know, in what form there are both fighters. I already said earlier that if it was 7-8 years ago, of course, Kro Kop. But he grows old, and San even is one year younger than me — to it 32. It is the heyday of forces. Question only in how Emelyanenko Jr. now prepares for this duel.

— In MMA it is simpler to pit to make?

—  If in boxing to reach a rank of the champion, it is necessary to go for years, decades, here the beginner can become prompt the champion as made it by Ricky Verkhoven.  At us carry nobody to a title.  It is possible to fight in the first fight with the champion.  And it is interesting to those — always there is an intrigue. 

— How Fedor Emelyanenko's long-term domination?

— It not only the gifted fighter, but also "plowman" as I called it when we together trained. Fedor trained three times a day. Before it had a warm-up — 40 minutes of a cross connect. Emelyanenko Sr. carefully prepared for duels therefore won.

— Whom you want to meet now?

— With the girl and if it is serious, of course, with best of the best — Junior Dos Santos and Keyn Velasquez. As for K-1, it would be desirable to take a revenge from Ricky Verkhoven. In boxing it is necessary to distribute in more detail forces and to begin with the lowest link, one loss suffices sharply to fall in a rating, and to the champion it is difficult to be punched. But I never selected rivals and got used to fight with the strongest.
