On his intention to resume his armwrestling career Aleksey spoke for a long time, but only recently a preliminary agreement on the place and time of the first match after return has been reached. Aleksey will pull under the flags of the Professional Armwrestling League, with which he is connected by long history of cooperation and friendship.

"We can say that this return is the most anticipated return in the history of armwrestling. - said the President of the Professional Armwrestling League Igor Mazurenko. - The negotiations were long and difficult, but we have made every effort to ensure that this historic event took place as soon as possible. The event, which has been discussed by thousands of armwrestling fans around the world, will be held this fall in Las Vegas, Nevada. Next «Vendetta in Vegas - Armfight # 44" will be the main event in the World’s armwrestling. "

Who will become Voevoda’s competitor on «Vendetta in Vegas» in October? The main intrigue of the game lies in the fact that nobody knows in what physical form Aleksey Voevoda returns to armwrestling. On this occasion there are active discussions in social networks. Arm wrestling does not stand still, and the average level of athletes is significantly higher than at the time when Aleksey reached the top in this sport discipline. Therefore, some experts have doubts that Aleksey’s domination remained the same undisputed. But even this uncertainty further enhances the image of Voevoda as a dangerous opponent.

In this connection, the decision to become the first challenger after his return, requires from an athlete of any level courage and a willingness to stake blind his career. There are not so many pullers ready for that. Since the beginning of the commercialization of the sport, even some Stars prefer not to risk. But there are athletes who are willing to risk much for a really exciting match.

That is why the choice fell on Tim Bresnan. Negotiations are still in progress, but Tim has already expressed his preliminary agreement to meet with Aleksey Voevoda in the first match that will determine whether Champions comeback will be successful or he will have to go back to the mountains of the Caucasus in order to continue training.

In any case, the sensation for armwrestling fans is guaranteed.
