UFC veteran Frank Mir is making a transition to boxing.
The former heavyweight champion announced that he would make his professional boxing debut against former WBA, WBC, IBF and IBO champ Antonio Tarver on the undercard of the upcoming Triller pay-per-view featuring Jake Paul and Ben Askren on April 17 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Mir, who is currently signed to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), confirmed the news on Twitter earlier today.
I am a competitor. I have been all my life.
I take on challenges to grow and better myself as a person.
