It’s another example of classic boxer vs MMA fighter debate. Who is better? There always has been this excitement when a boxer decides to step into the octagon against a lifelong mixed martial artist or vice versa. Even though we know that at the most elite level a boxer is most likely to win in a boxing fight and MMA fighter is likely to win in a fight under martial arts rules. However, it’s a never-ending argument. And unfortunately, a boxer got into a similar argument with one of the most vicious punchers in the UFC heavyweight division, Derrick Lewis. Latest: Conor McGregor Controversies [https://www.essentiallysports.com/the-king-of-controversies-the-notorious-conor-mcgregor/] According to the “Black Beast,” a loudmouth boxer made an absurd claim that just because he is a boxer he would be able to knock out the former title contender, Derrick Lewis [https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Derrick-Lewis-59284]. Well, Lewis was kind enough to allow the fighter to attest his claim and squared off against him in the ring with a pair of boxing gloves. It’s needless to say that it was a dumb move as the next thing he knew Lewis was in front of him throwing nuclear bombs with some bad intentions. Well, when you are challenging one of the scariest heavyweights in UFC to a fistfight then you better be ready for the storm. Derrick Lewis is coming from an impressive victory over Blagoy Ivanov and is scheduled to fight Ilir Latifi next.
