Ex-criminal Mika Ilmén talks about his time in freedom in a recent book. Janne Ahjopalon delivered by Immu – Ups, downs and pitfalls (Bazar) returns to last spring’s wrestling event Ice Cage, among other things.
The exciting main match of the evening between Ilmén and Joni “Stagala” Takalan sometimes ended in a good ten seconds. “Immu” woke up to it when he was woken up from the canvas after being knocked out.
– When it woke me up, I asked my corner man Puku where I was. When Paukku answered that in a boxing match, I replied: “Don’t laugh, I’m a hundred years old.”
– Then I was put in a sack. Jonna [Ilménin vaimo] came to tell me that I had just been to a boxing match. I still didn’t believe it. I told Jonna that “don’t bother pissing, I’m a 54-year-old guy.” Jonna continued that we are currently in a pretty big event and that you just made money worth a luxury car, Ilmén says in the book.
Ilmén boasts that he earned more than 100,000 euros from the Ice Cage boxing match. The amount included match fee and commercial collaborations.
Ilmén says that he was already in the yard a little before the match. The reason was dehydration. The night before the match, the weight dropped to 96.5 kilograms. Refueling didn’t help anymore. The problems became concrete in the locker room of the Helsinki ice rink, when cold sweat drenched Ilmén’s body. Balance tossed.
Afterwards, Ilmén states that he no longer wants to lose almost 30 kilos for the match.
That’s why that boy girl won me quite a lot. He had a body in better shape. He wasn’t a dehydrated moron. What to explain it.
To Kurdistan

After the Stagala defeat, Ilmén quickly returned to the public eye. He visited Iltalehti the very next week Ukkolain the program. After that, however, people on social media wondered where the man disappeared to.
Among other things, an ex-policeman and Immu’s podcast co-worker Kenneth Eriksson said on Instagram that he had not been able to contact Ilmén for a couple of days and he had not arrived for the podcast recording.
This point is not told in the book. However, Ilmén seemed to have disappeared somewhere, as the media tried to reach him without success. Ilmén had told a couple of days earlier In Ukkolathat his kidneys took a severe hit due to dehydration during the match.
Seiska then revealed in her video that Ilmén was on her way to Kurdistan. That’s where he promised to go if he lost to Stagala.
– I got Seiska to pay for the trip. [––] For example, we were eating at the prime minister’s advisor’s villa in the mountains of northern Iraq. A cool villa with a hellish load of security guards watching over it.
Ilmén says that during the trip, he stayed in a five-star hotel, which was guarded by “wrinklers”.
Kurdistan showed both wealth and poverty. He was able to talk with the locals about politics and Kurdistan’s independence efforts, among other things.
