If former two division world champion Paulie Malignaggi is looking for another fight, he could have one waiting in the wings.
A few months ago, Malignaggi unretired - and in a surprise move he decided to enter the world of bare knuckle boxing.
Malignaggi lost a close five round unanimous decision to UFC veteran Artem Lobov. The decision was razor close, with Lobov winning the bout by a single point.
Malignaggi disagreed with the outcome - and there was a good portion of the viewers who also felt the retired boxer had done enough to pull out a win.
According to Lobov, he's willing to give Malignaggi a rematch - under traditional boxing rules.
He would like the rematch to take place on the undercard of the upcoming rematch between Youtube stars Logan Paul and KSI, which will air on DAZN on November 9.
“I’ve heard that he hasn’t stopped complaining, but if he wants another go, I would be more than willing,” Lobov told The Mac Life.
“Let’s do it again. He can try it again. I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on him and giving a few more digs. It’s something that I don’t think I would ever get sick of, so why not? Or if he doesn’t want to do it in the bare-knuckle, we can do it straight up boxing. Why not? Maybe me and him could be another fight, this time a real fight on the Logan Paul and KSI card.”
“There are some boxers on there, as well. That card is making a lot of noise, and I need some real fights, a legit fight, and me and Paulie would be that fight. We can box on that card easily.”
Lobov plans to return to bare knuckle boxing circuit on a date in November or December.
