Morning Report: Paulie Malignaggi on Conor McGregor: ‘Once I put his boy in a coma, he’s gonna want to fight me’

For the last two years, former world champion boxer Paulie Malignaggi has been beefing with Conor McGregor and the entire SBG Ireland fight team. But with yesterday’s announcement that Malignaggi would be facing Artem Lobov in a bare knuckle boxing match at Bare Knuckle FC in June, “Magic Man” looks to finally have his chance to settle the score, and he couldn’t be more excited.

Speaking recently with Helen Yee, Malignaggi addressed Lobov’s recent win over Jason Knight at Bare Knuckle FC 5 and his upcoming fight against The GOAT, saying he is worried he may actually hurt Lobov, and the reason he hasn’t been making a fuss in the media is because he thought no one would want to see him beat up someone as “pitiful” as Lobov.
