Frank Mir predicts that even if he loses boxing debut, Antonio Tarver is ‘probably leaving on a stretcher’

Frank Mir has never shied away from going out on his shield, and when it comes to his first boxing match, he’s prepared to take Antonio Tarver with him.

On April 17, Mir competes in boxing for the first time when he meets Tarver on the undercard of Triller’s Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren event. Mir, 41, most recently fought for Bellator, but is best known for his run with the UFC from 2001 to 2015 that saw him win that promotion’s world heavyweight championship at UFC 48.

Mir holds 14 wins by knockout or submission and has been knocked out 10 times in 32 pro fights.
