Former UFC lightweight champion Tony Ferguson is returning to professional sports.
He announced his return not to the octagon, but to the boxing ring.
İdman.biz reports that this time he will try himself not in the octagon, but in a discipline according to boxing rules.
The 41-year-old American announced that he will enter the ring on August 30: "I have not retired. I will return to training camp. I have a fight on August 30. It will be according to boxing rules. I am ready for the fight in perfect shape. I'm getting better and better."
Tony's last MMA fight was on August 3, 2024 at the "UFC on ABC 7" tournament in Abu Dhabi, where he lost to Michael Chiesa by submission in the first round.
It should be noted that although rumors spread about the end of his career after this failure, the veteran denied them. He stated that he would continue his fighting career, even in a different sport.
