Former UFC fighter and “The Ultimate Fighter 10” cast member Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson reportedly is leaving MMA for professional boxing.
The fighter was a backyard and bare-knuckle brawler whose fight videos earned him a big underground following.
Gary Shaw, the boxing promoter who eventually inked Ferguson to the now-defunct EliteXC MMA promotion, told ESPNNewYork.com that he now has a boxing deal in place with the fight and that “Kimbo” could debut by year’s end.
