Paulie Malignaggi doesn’t plan to fight again following his-five round battle against Artem Lobov. Regardless, he’ll be forced to sit on the sidelines for an extended period of time if he actually wants to continue.
On Monday, the Florida State Boxing Commission released the medical suspensions for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships 6 from this past weekend in Tampa, Florida, with several fighters receiving indefinite suspensions on the card.
Malignaggi was suspended indefinitely following his loss to Lobov, which means he would need medical clearance from a physician before being allowed to compete again.
Following the fight, Malignaggi, who had previously retired from boxing in 2017, said that he wasn’t planning to compete again after falling to Lobov in the BKFC 6 main event.
