A former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight king will be testing out the sweet science with gloves on first.
From a press release sent out by Triller Fight Club on Thursday, the April 17 boxing event headlined by Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren has gained a trio of matches for its undercard. In the first, Frank Mir (19-13 MMA) will square off against Antonio Tarver (31-6-1, 22 KOs) in a match previously reported by Mir in February. The heavyweight boxing clash was awaiting clearance from the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission, but it has now been made official.
