Saint Petersburg assembles strong heavyweight team 20 years after Red Devil

Saint Petersburg has assembled its strongest heavyweight team since the legendary Red Devil camp 20 years ago. The current roster includes Kirill Kornilov (18-3), Alexander Maslov (12-1), Anton Vinnikov (18-5), Daniil Matsola (7-0), Artem Dushenko (6-3 at 93kg), Dmitry Baboryko (2-0, young Greco-Roman wrestling master), Denis Goltsov (36-9), and Anton Vyazigin (17-6) who regularly visits for training camps. Most compete in ACA, where losses are inevitable due to tough competition, but those who compile good records there can be considered world-class fighters. Two upcoming interesting matchups are Kirill Kornilov vs Tony Johnson and Daniil Matsola vs Khadis Ibragimov, with Ibragimov also having developed as a professional in Saint Petersburg.
