This past weekend, Artem Lobov expressed an interest in boxing Paulie Malignaggi, and the latter’s responded by saying he’d fight Lobov and teammate, Conor McGregor, the same night.

Since Malignaggi left McGregor’s training camp, for the UFC champ’s August 26th bout with Floyd Mayweather, he’s repeatedly said he’d box the Irish star. As a result, following Lobov’s loss to Andre Fili at UFC Fight Night 118, the Russian fighter was asked if he’d be interested in facing Malignaggi. Lobov said he would, but he questioned whether the New York fighter would pursue the fight.

Since then, the retired boxer made the following comments on Twitter:

I tell you what we could do just so we at least even the stakes, I fight he and Conor in the same night. I'm not even kidding either lol. https://t.co/u9IEivj1Ua

Even the old UFC tournaments gave you time between fights when fighting multiple times in a night. Same platform I stop them both #Boxing https://t.co/JCuNfQb6cx
