NFL washout Greg Hardy set for pro boxing debut after UFC exit

After a short-lived yet much-hyped UFC career, Greg Hardy is now entering a new chapter of his prizefighting venture. In a recent Instagram post, the 33-year-old hinted at a transition to professional boxing.

MMA Fighting later confirmed that “The Prince of War” will be making his debut in the squared ring on October 8th in Delray Beach, Florida. No opponent names have been mentioned as of this posting.

Hardy (7-5, 1 NC) entered the UFC in 2018 through Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series. It was a controversial signing, given the ex-NFL player’s involvement in a 2014 domestic violence case.
