KIMBO OFFERED “BIG MONEY” TO FIGHT BARE-KNUCKLE WITH FORMER BOXING CHAMP
“[Kimbo] claims to be the best striker in the world, you know, I mean bare-knuckle fighter. When I was younger I had more than my share of those. It would be a good fight. What it would be though, Lorne, it would be something that ain't never been done in the real world of boxing. As you know, anybody can call anybody out. Anybody can… You know I fought for all the world titles. I had the IBA title, and I fought the best cruiserweight in the world [Tomasz Adamek]. So this is a legit deal, plus I'm still in the top of the boxing world. I'm still there. It ain't like I'm retired, so what I'm doing...I called him out… He claims the MMA world doesn't work for him, so you want to stand up and do your bare-knuckle fighting? Let's do it under the proper London Prize Fight Rules. As of right now, the offer has been made to them, and Lorne, I don't mean a small offer. I mean a very big offer. More money than most world championship fighters get. It's on his plate. So it's all up to him right now to make the move.”
The hard hitting Bobby Gunn tells the examiner that he has called out Kimbo and laid some “Mega” bucks on the fight to make it happen as a Bare-Knuckle boxing match. Gunn is the former IBA, WBC-USNBC, WBA-NABA, IBC and NABC Cruiserweight champion. His record stands at 21-4-1, with 18 knockouts.
Kimbo Slice was recently cut by the UFC following his lackluster loss against Matt Mitrione. The former YouTube sensation is not shy about his desire for big paydays and has been fielding offers since his release. A Bare-Knuckle brawl seems right up his alley. I’d buy it!
