If it is true that Elon Musk's challenge to fight with Russian President, Vladimir Putin, is accepted, who do you think will win? It's pretty hard to predict.
As reported, Elon has challenged Putin to a fight with Ukraine bets. "I hereby challenge Vladimir Putin to a one-on-one fight. The stakes are Ukraine," Elon wrote on Twitter recently.
Judging by the body posture, Elon Musk is about 180 cm tall and Putin is about 170 cm. Elon weighs around 80 kg and Putin 70 kg. Elon Musk is also much younger than Putin, their age difference is 19 years.
Both apparently also have a provision of self-defense training. Musk is reported to have practiced jiu jitsu quite intensively. He has also practiced kyokushin, taekwondo and judo.
As for Putin, he is indeed more frightening, he has a black belt in judo. He even co-authored a book on judo entitled Judo: History, Theory, Practice.
However, the International Judo Federation as well as the European Judo Federation have said they are suspending Putin's status as honorary president due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Putin's taekwondo black belt status is also gone. "World Taekwondo has decided to suspend Mr Vladimir Putin's honorary status and black belt in November 2013," said World Taekwondo.
So, if it is true that Putin and Elon have a fist fight, who will win? Putin has a technical advantage and trains more in self-defense than Elon. However, Elon has advantages in terms of body posture and younger age.
"Fighting is very broad so the result will depend on the rules and moves allowed. But if we talk about fighting styles such as UFC wrestling, Elon has the advantage of height and weight. Their age difference is also 19 years so that can also have an impact on the result," he said. HITC quoted us.
Of course the Elon Musk and Putin match doesn't look like it's actually going to happen. Elon was probably joking so he challenged Putin to a duel.
Previously, Musk was nudged by Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov over the challenge. Ramzan is a feared leader and an ally of Russia. He called Musk a sissy and lack of muscle so it is inappropriate to challenge Putin.
"You need to strengthen your muscles in order to transform from a sissy Elona to a brutal Elon," Ramzan wrote on social media.
Ramzan also invited Musk to come to his country to practice war and self-defense. According to him, if Musk doesn't train, Putin will beat Musk badly because Musk is too weak an opponent.
"You will return from the Chechen Republic a completely different person, Elona," he wrote at the end of the post.
Elon Musk immediately posted Ramzan's writing on Twitter and also responded. He even wrote on behalf of Elona.
"Thank you so much for the offer, but that kind of training would give me too much profit," Musk wrote.
Even Musk mocked Putin. "If he is afraid to fight, I will agree to use only his left hand and even I am right-handed. Elona," he wrote again.
