In a recorded conversation, Shovkhal proposed a challenge to Arman Tsarukyan offering 500,000 rubles if Tsarukyan can score a takedown on him within one minute. Shovkhal mentioned he is preparing to wrestle an Olympic champion soon and is confident enough to give Tsarukyan a leg. Tsarukyan accepted the challenge. The playful exchange appears to be a wrestling challenge between the two fighters, though details about when or where this might take place were not specified. The conversation was captured on video by Nika Kelekhsashvili.
