Wow word gets around fast. Kimbo Slice, who by the way performed much better than James Toney in the UFC, has quickly responded to James Toney via MMAFighting:
“I never heard anything about me fighting James Toney, but you know, like I said, again, I’ll fight anybody, man. C’mon, everybody knows that about me from my street-fighting days. Put anybody in front of me, train me to be the best, I’ll fight the best. That’s one thing about Kimbo Slice that everybody knows.”
A fight between the two would be a huge draw, and you could bank that the pay per view numbers would be amazing to say the least. Despite the fact that Toney’s way past his prime and that Slice isn’t even close to his boxing level the two would generate enough interest from both die hard boxing fans and mainstream America to make it bankable. With Gary Shaw promoting you could certainly see Slice going for the one and done route, and he would more than likely make a ton of money in the process. So far this is nothing but some back and forth but we’ll keep you in the loop.
