Bobby Lashley Indicates Interest in Participating in a Boxing Match

Bobby Lashley, two-time WWE Champion, is a highly regarded figure in the company. He is also a legitimate badass and is always up for a fight. Unsurprisingly, Lashley wants to compete in a boxing match in the future.

After achieving some success in the WWE, he ventured into Impact Wrestling as well as combat sports where he would compete in Strikeforce, Titan Fighting Championship and Bellator, and he was quite successful.

While speaking with Alex McCarthy for Mail Sport, Bobby Lashley stated that he isn’t getting any younger and then expressed a desire to compete in a boxing match somewhere down the line.

“So I’ve been talking about it for a while now. At sone point in time in your career, you got to stop fighting. But I still have so much fight left in me. But that time is ticking too, where I’m gonna say, ‘All right, get that out of your mind.’ I’ve been offered a bare knuckles fight against a football player. I talked about a couple boxing matches that I’d be interested in doing. MMA is still in the horizon also. But for me to have another fight, I hope, I’m crossing my fingers, I’d like to do some…I personally think boxing is the way to go right now.

There’s a lot of buzz with boxing. Am I fighting Tyson Fury? I don’t think so. That’s not where I wanna go. But I do wanna get in that ring, and I wanna have one of those bigger matchups against someone. I mean, I don’t have the time to train for a Tyson Fury. But I train all the time anyway, so I can probably fight somebody that has and boxing experience that still want to do it, such as myself.”

Tyson Fury defeated Francis Ngannou via a split-decision on October 28. Regardless, only time will tell whether The Almighty will end up in a boxing ring, as it is likely he will dominate in that field as well.
