Former UFC featherweight Artem “The Russian Hammer” Lobov shocked the entire MMA community as well as a lot of faithful boxing fans back in June when he defeated the former multiple division world boxing champion Paulie Malignaggi in Bare Knuckle Boxing Championship via a unanimous decision. However, it looks like Lobov isn’t satisfied his victory over Paulie in Bare Knuckle Boxing alone and also now wants to have a boxing match against him.
Lobov told noted combat sports journalist Ariel Helwani that he wants to rematch Malignaggi in a boxing match. He also told Helwani that he would love to compete against Malignaggi on the undercard of Logan Paul vs. KSI-2. Helwani recently broke this news via a tweet. Here’s what Helwani wrote:
