Now switching to boxing, Tyrone Spong's coach says a big name fight on the horizon

ORLANDO –Tyrone Spong may be done with mixed martial arts for good. And possibly kickboxing, too.

The Blackzilians fighter who has been splitting time between kickboxing and MMA over the last few years is still plagued by lingering issues with his right leg, which he fractured in gruesome fashion against Gokhan Saki at Glory 15 in April 2014. Though he held multiple titles as a kickboxer, he competed just twice in professional MMA events, both under the World Series of Fighting banner. Spong defeated Travis Bartlett and Angel DeAnda in 2013, and was slated to face Jake Huen at WSOF 26 on Dec.
