” At the time, our team is nearing the final stage of dealing with contracts and investors – says Mazurenko. – We’ve decided to not only form a new event, but a new level of competition. That’s why sponsor money is not everything. We’ve drawn in whole enterprises ready to support TOP 16 and its potential. Just make the calculations yourself – the budget is huge, especially in armwrestling – 4 million dollars, 1.4000 thousand prize money. You might ask – “why would anyone invest so much money in a little known sport?”. Well – people believe that with such and enormous event, popularity will follow, and money with it. It’s just like with the UFC, they started something new too, and look at them today! The UFC tournaments go head to head in popularity with boxing matches, and fights are broadcast in 130 countries, in over 20 languages. Those who invested at the beginning, sleep on money now. The TOP 16 investors expect a similar outcome, and armwrestling has every chance to satisfy their expectations.

It’s already known that the tournament will take place in Turkey, USA and Switzerland. We’re planning a much larger expansion, though, it’s underway as we speak. But let’s speak of what we’re certain of.

TOP-16 is ahead. You will take part in the project. Tell us about it in details.

TOP-16… I am very excited and very glad at the same time that I will participate. Now I can say for sure that I am not sitting idly by, so I will be ready for everything.

The armfight between Tsyplenkov and you is coming next year. What do you think, could you overcome Denis?

I am ready to fight with Denis in left hand. My right will be ready for the TOP-16 start. I will use all my potential to win with Denis.

Your victory over Zhokh was confident, but many people still give first round to Oleg. Do you want to meet again with Zhokh in an armfight?

I’d like to fight with Oleg once again. He is a very talented young man. We both weren’t fresh when we fought in Vegas. If there will be another armfight between us, it will erase all doubts.

Whom would you like to fight most of all?

I’d like to fight with Tsyplenkov, Usmanli and Binnie in left hand. And it would be interesting to fight with Tsyplenkov and Usmanli too and Voyevoda and Todd

You’ve already participated in Nemiroff, how do you remember it?

My first time was in 2009, taking fourth place in the 95 kg category. I’m very pleased with that score.

Now you’re entering again.

Yes, I intend to fight in the under 95 kg category.

What do your preparations look like?

Everything is going according to the plan. I’m paying special attention to training the hook. World Championship, that is, the fight with Krasimir, showed me that my hook is weak and needs more attention.

What goals do you set for yourself in order to prepare?

I’m working long and hard to prepare for Nemiroff. I’m now at the last stage of these preparations. I’m expecting to qualify in the first five in my category.

Maybe it’s a trivial question, but I’ll ask: can John Brzenk reclaim his old position as the world champion of armwrestling?

I believe he will be first in his category, or at least in the top three.

The spotlight is on Denis Cyplenkov, every armwrestler wants to defeat him. Can anyone succeed?

No, Denis has no competition. It’s not just Nemiroff, but in the entire world Cyplenkov is unmatched by anyone.

What about Larratt? Opinions about the potential score of their armfight are divided. What do you think, which side will be victorious?

I’m sure that Devon is not a problem for Denis. I’m expecting 6:0 for Cyplenkov.
