Earlier today (Mon. May 20, 2019) Paulie Malignaggi and Artem Lobov took part in a Bare Knuckle FC press conference.

The two men will settle their differences in a bare knuckle boxing fight from Tampa, Florida, on June 22. There has been a ton of animosity between both fighters in the lead-up to the pay-per-view (PPV). They have nearly come to blows several times, including earlier today.

Malignaggi spat at Lobov during their face-off today. Speaking with The MacLife shortly after, “The Russian Hammer” gave his thoughts on the incident:

“Yeah, he tried to spit or whatever, but lets be honest, I hate all this fake sh*t. Lets be honest, if we were left in a room just me and him, would he do things – spit on me?

“I don’t think so. He’d be broke up in seconds. That is a fact. It would take me two seconds to take him down and it would take me another two seconds to step on his neck and break it. That would have been it. But here, there’s a crowd, he’s tough, he’s acting this and that, talking all that sh*t. I just hope he does the same – he has the same intensity on fight night.”

Malignaggi hasn’t had a professional fight since March of 2017. He was knocked out by Sam Eggington in the eighth round of their welterweight bout from the O2 Arena. Now, he’ll return to take on Lobov, who made a name for himself in the world of mixed martial arts (MMA).

Lobov was successful in his BKFC debut against Jason Knight in April. The pair put on an amazing main event, which Lobov won via unanimous decision.

Artem Lobov will be making his bare knuckle boxing debut next month (Sat. April 6, 2019).

“The Russian Hammer” faces off against fellow former UFC fighter Jason Knight under the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) banner. Also signed to BKFC is ex-WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi. If Lobov emerges victorious, Malignaggi is hoping to land a fight with the Conor McGregor teammate next.

Speaking to BJPenn.com recently, Lobov said his performance at BKFC will be a preview for what he has in store for Malignaggi:

“April 6th, please tune in and see for yourself, and treat this as a little preview for what I have in store for Paulie Malignaggi,” Lobov said. This is fight [with Knight], I will burst through this guy, literally.

“Choo Choo motherf***er. The Siberian Express is on its way. So I will burst through this guy April 6th, and then down the line I want Paulie Malignaggi. This is the fight that I’m really after.”

Malignaggi has a bad history with the McGregor camp. He was initially part of McGregor’s training camp for his fight against Floyd Mayweather before some leaked sparring footage favoring McGregor upset Malignaggi, resulting in him leaving the camp.

He has been seeking revenge for the incident ever since. Now, Lobov can’t believe his “luck” that he actually gets to step into the ring against Malignaggi in a bare knuckle fight:

“Honestly, at first I couldn’t believe it,” Lobov said. “I could not believe my luck. I thought I was never gonna get that guy into the ring. I knew he needed money, but I thought he was after proper, big, big pay days, like the Conor fight, which he tried to make happen for many, many years.

“Let’s be honest, there’s no chance of that fight happening. He’s not on the level of Conor. So I thought this guy was just gonna talk and yap around and never really step into the ring. I thought he was done, but I was wrong. Money talks. and we all need to eat. Paulie’s broke, otherwise he wouldn’t be commentating every week for a couple of hundred bucks.

“So he’s back. He’s back in the ring and trust me, this is not the thing he wants to do.

It looks like UFC super-personality Conor McGregor will have another big boxing offer heading his way.

talkSport’s Michael Benson reports that Paulie Malignaggi, who recently signed with Bare Knuckle FC (BKFC), told him the promotion is preparing a “mega-money” offer for Conor McGregor. Malignaggi wants to settle his differences with McGregor in a bare knuckle boxing fight:

“Told by Paulie Malignaggi that the BKFC are preparing a mega money offer to Conor McGregor for a bare-knuckle boxing match with him.

“He insists they have more money than people think and also confirmed it’s possible he could make his June debut against Artem Lobov.”

McGregor’s longtime training partner and friend, Artem Lobov, is gearing up for his BKFC debut. He’ll face fellow former UFC featherweight Jason Knight. If he emerges victorious, this could set up a fight between Lobov and Malignaggi. The former boxing champion hopes to lure McGregor into a fight with him a some point down the line.

Speaking to Fight Sports’ Matt Ryan recently, Malignaggi said he believes BKFC can match the numbers that McGregor is making to fight in the UFC:

“I think the only kind of fight that he can’t be matched (financially) is his fight with (Floyd) Mayweather,” Malignaggi said. “I think we’ll be able to make him an offer the he didn’t even make for the Khabib fight.

“Let’s be honest, his base for the Khabib fight was only $3 million… but BKFC can match those numbers and make it worthwhile for him. Then in the end, it’ll have to be worthwhile in that does he want to take an embarrassing defeat and catch a beating from me.”
