Colby Covington has encouraged Tony Ferguson to hang up the gloves after snapping his recent eight-fight losing skid. ‘El Cucuy’ broke a lengthy win drought at Misfits Boxing 22 when Ferguson scored a TKO victory over Salt Papi to claim an interim MFB belt.
It resonated as a feel-good win for many, with the former interim UFC lightweight champion earning his first win in the boxing ring, but a former interim UFC welterweight champ wants Ferguson to ride off into the sunset now. The two have had some interactions through the years, with both Covington and Ferguson showing each other support ahead of their respective fights at UFC 296.
