Rustam Babayev
Speaks for himself and for his brother ...

He appeared at Zloty Tur in Poland for the first time in 2001. A fight with Cvetan Gashevski, who then won, lasted 23 seconds. In 2002 - he was undefeated and won on the w way he beat Zbyszek Chmielewski. One year later, he won. In 2006, as an  Armpower  correspondent wrote, he was "straggly" beaten by his brother, the younger brother! 2008 was a total domination in his weight class and a wonderful cup- final (lost, but aligned) with John Brzenk in the open. 2010 was the division of medals on the left and right hand in the weight and twice the podium in the open between the brothers. Who am I describing?

The Babayev Brothers. I decided that the older brother Rustam will be enough for me to interview. Now regret that I hadn’t also asked  his younger brother, because Rustam turned out to be more aloof, than when we met in Poland. Oh well! Maybe he had treme. I’m passing on these few sentences from one of the brothers, from Rustam.

Hello Rustam! Last year, AT the Nemiroff World Cup I had the impression that you do it like the Klitschko brothers. They promised their mother that will not fight with each other. Tell me, so by pulling strings whether I right?
Rustam Babayev: Let the scenes of my fights with my brother remain a mystery yet ...

Still? How long are we supposed to wait? Well, it's goining to be hard. How will it be this year?
Rustam Babayev: At Nemiroff 2011, we cannot take part in the same weight class. It’s the organizer’s decision.

Right in my opinion, but it’s still a pity ... And how’s your form, how are the preparations?
Rustam Babayev: The form is raising, we haven’t started training hard yet.

For these years, when you fought in Poland – which fights were the toughest ones for you?
Rustam Babayev: With John Brzenk and Andrey Pushkar.

 

Will we also see you and your younger brother on the podium of the open class this year?
Rustam Babayev: When it comes to results in the open weight, nothing can be really said now.

This is what you can! Rustam, as from the perspective of your experience what do you think of our tournament?
Rustam Babayev: These are competitions at a really high level.

How about  your and your brother’s popularity in Ukraine, do people recognize you on the street?
Rustam Babayev: Those who know the sport – do.

Rustam, see you in Poland, I cannot wait to see your and Ruslan’s fights!
Rustam Babayev: We will come, see you!
