Paulie Malignaggi has expressed bad intentions regarding his opponent Artem Lobov as they are set to meet for a bare-knuckle boxing match in June.
The two fighters have been feuding over social media and in interviews for months, and it all stems from Malignaggi's stint as Conor McGregor's sparring partner when the Irishman was preparing to fight Floyd Mayweather in August 2017.
Lobov is a longtime friend and teammate of McGregor, and it is Malignaggi's intention to beat Lobov up so bad that Conor will want to fight him next.
Malignaggi, a former two-division boxing world champion is certain of a victory when he faces the Russian in New Hampshire, with a venue yet to be decided, but his desperate to badly hurt his opponent:
"It’s not about winning and losing here, because it’s not even a question that I’m gonna win the fight. It’s about how bad I can hurt this guy. For me, if I don’t hurt him to a degree that there’s something permanent there, it’s not a win for me," Malignaggi said when speaking to Luke Thomas on The MMA Hour.
