"I think that at the end of August, we will understand whether Fedor will keep fighting more or not. Most of all,
he needs to take a rest and recover. Further, he had a daughter, and he needs to spend some time with his family, think about everything and make a decision. He will relax, recover a bit and again will start training, or the opposite, will say that he has had enough, i.e. "this is enough for me"...But if he decides to continue, then he needs to prepare towards extremely serious work. And entire change his approach to training for fights."
"The most important thing now is --- return to the previous condition that Fedor had: strength, speed, and endurance, and for that he needs to work really hard. Fedor, he he wants to continue fighting, needs to sacrifice all else, and spend at least 6 months to 1 year for his preparation:
lift his power, speed and endurance. To return to his previous condition, and after that show everyone what he can do --- like he did earlier in his career" --- thinks Voronov.
The coach also added that, the accumulated volume of training from earlier will not stay such forever, this volume already has been severely depleted and requires recovery.
"He needs to return to those physical parameters, due to which he used to win earlier, and work hard on his technique, so that his combination work not only in training but in the fight. For the athlete, wrestling and striking technique, their best moves are only created after bloody hard work, after tons of time -- only then combinations become automatic, independent of the athlete".
The coach of Emelianenko added that earlier, Fedor used to train 10 months of the year, but now, due to public pressure, he can no longer do that.
"When during preparation for the fight, for various reasons, you starting missing a camp, you basically rely on the previous volume that you created, from earlier." -- said Voronov -- "And if you train in such loose regiment for 2-3 years, then this approach for sure will have effects (negative) -- both towards your level of preparation and the final results of the fights
