Artem Lobov and Paulie Malignaggi squared off earlier today (Thurs. June 20, 2019) after their Bare-Knuckle FC 6 press conference.

Neither man let up once it was time to face the media, as they continued to stare each other down before Malignaggi eventually broke the tension. Check out the footage from the staredown here:

BKFC takes place from the Florida State Fairgrounds Expo Hall in Tampa, Florida Saturday night (June 22). The show kicks off at 9 p.m. ET on pay-per-view (PPV). You can view the event on FITE TV for $39.99.

Check out the full BKFC 6 fight card below:

  • Paulie Malignaggi vs. Artem Lobov
  • Chris Leben vs. Dakota Cochrane
  • Reginald Barnett Jr vs. Johnny Bedford
  • Joey Beltran vs. Jamie Campbell
  • Tom Shoaff vs. Julian Lane
  • Abdiel Velazquez vs. Travis Thompson
  • Elvin Leon Brito vs. Jim Alers

Malignaggi has some long-standing issues with Lobov and the Conor McGregor team. The former boxing world champion was part of McGregor’s training camp for Floyd Mayweather back in 2017. However, once McGregor leaked photos and videos from their sparring sessions, mainly a clip that showed what looked like McGregor knocking Malignaggi down – despite Malignaggi alleging it was a trip – Malignaggi departed the camp.

“The Magic Man” has held a grudge over the incident over the past several years. Now, he has found his way into a bare-knuckle fight against McGregor’s good friend and teammate, Lobov. Malignaggi is likely trying to angle himself into a fight with “The Notorious One” himself.

It only takes one. And French boxer Sabri Sediri learned that very quickly.

Sediri faced Sam Maxwell on Saturday’s BT Sport Fight Night in Leicester, England in a junior welterweight bout. In the fight, Sediri had scored two knockdowns. Those coming in the first and second rounds. Heading into the 10th and final round of the fight, Sediri was comfortably ahead on the judges’ scorecards.

However, he decided to begin taunting Maxwell and trying to put on too much of a show.

That came back to bite him where it hurts, as Maxwell landed a beautiful hook that planted Sediri down to the canvas. He was unable to get back to his feet, and the referee waved the action off. Maxwell pulled off a stunning last-second knockout win with just seconds to spare in the fight.

Watch the amazing sequence here:

One of the biggest rivalries in boxing at the moment is between middleweights Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin.

At one point, Golovkin was the undefeated king of boxing’s middleweight division. A highly-anticipated fight between Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez was rumored for quite some time. Finally, the pair squared off in a big Las Vegas event in September of 2017. Many believe that Golovkin dominated the fight after 12 rounds of boxing. However, judges turned in a controversial Majority Draw decision.

A year later, the rematch took place from the T-Mobile Arena yet again. This time, the fight was much more competitive. But most fans and experts still had Golovkin winning on their scorecards. Despite this, Alvarez was awarded the Majority Decision victory. The Mexican star, arguably boxing’s biggest attraction at the moment, currently reigns as the WBA, WBC, and lineal middleweight champion.

Not to mention a WBO light middleweight title win over Rocky Fielding this past December. Recently, Golden Boy Promotions’ Oscar De La Hoya spoke to Boxing Scene about a possible trilogy bout between Alvarez and Golovkin. De La Hoya is confident the fight will happen at some point. Not only is he confident the fight will get done, but he’s confident Alvarez will be the first man to knock out Golovkin inside the ring:

“There’s no doubt whatsoever,” De La Hoya said. “Canelo wants to fight the very best, and I can assure you that, third time around, Canelo will knock him out.”

Before that can happen, Alvarez has a date with IBF middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs. The two will unify their middleweight titles on May 4th in Las Vegas. While speaking to the DAZN streaming service, De La Hoya broke down how negotiations for the fight went:

“[It was the] last second, the 11th hour,” said De La Hoya. “I was one night tweeting and said to myself, ‘how am I going to make this happen?’.

“I sent out a tweet that said we were going to talk to GGG and make the third fight happen and Jacobs’ promoter, Matchroom Boxing, called [Golden Boy president] Eric Gomez the next day and said you have a fight with Jacobs.

“My plan worked – now we have one of the best middleweights fights in recent years.”
