However, earlier this week, the outspoken Strickland came forward – accusing the previously mentioned, Ghosn of assaulting a female fighter on numerous occasions, having spoken with the alleged victim’s father.

If you want to sue me, I will crowd fund this, and we will go to court, and I will fight you.”

“I have received a couple messages from girls who are very credible,” Sean Strickland posted on his official X account. “Really bad… Worse than I thought.

In a further post from Strickland, the outspoken former undisputed middleweight champion has hit out at the media for an apparent blackout in coverage regarding his accusations levelled at Ghosn.

“I left that post up for about three-four hours, and I kept Googling, Tiki, Tiki,” Sean Strickland said. “I kept Googling his name. When is someone writing an article about what I said, and nothing… I drop a bomb like that, and nobody says anything.”
