Artem Lobov and Paulie Malignaggi officially have a date set for their bare-knuckle boxing match, but there’s been a change of location.
In April, Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship promotion president David Feldman said that the highly anticipated grudge match between Lobov and Malignaggi would likely take place in New Hampshire on June 22. The two rivals will still fight this summer, but it was announced on the BKFC website that they will instead meet in Tampa, Florida, at a venue to be determined.
This will be the promotion’s first event in Florida after debuting in Wyoming and then holding three events in Mississippi and one in Cancun, Mexico.
