Malignaggi

Malignaggi said: “Jake has a high school wrestler background so he would not be totally out of his element in the cage.

Ricky Hatton won his light-heavyweight bout with Paulie Malignaggi after the American’s corner retired him in the 11th round on this day in 2008.

However, Malignaggi is not the only one voicing concerns over the upcoming fight.

It began in December 2016, when Malignaggi insulted McGregor's chances of beating Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match, as rumours of the UFC star crossing over to boxing increased.

So Malignaggi goes, warms up hard, as he’s sore from the twelve rounds and wants to work off the pain.

But looking past the Cuban would be a huge mistake, according to former world champion Paulie Malignaggi.

Malignaggi was in New York commentating when the two went around the first time; a tenth round finish that set Wilder up with the mega-money Fury showdown.
