Midnight Mania! Frank Mir labels boxing crossover vs. Antonio Tarver ‘a win-win’
Share this story
Welcome to Midnight Mania!
As they become more and more common, unexpected crossovers from the cage to the boxing ring should perhaps become a bit less unexpected. Still, I don’t think anyone expected Frank Mir seemingly retired from MMA and signed to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship to jump into the Triller ring on the undercard of the Ben Askren vs. Jake Paul event.
Just typing that out felt like a strange game of Mad Libs.
All the same, it’s happening, and Mir spoke with MMA Junkie to explain his thoughts on the match up and detail why he’d like to fight a former world champion boxer at the age of 41.
