Misfits Boxing 3 is aptly named considering they matched 94lbs heavier UFC veteran Greg hardy with the son of a boxing legend, Hasim Rahman Jr.
Rahman Jr.’s claim to fame is a cancelled bout against Jake Paul so it’s no surprise he’s not exactly top tier talent although it is commendable if not questionable he’s accepted a boxing match against someone who has that much weight on him.
To the chagrin of fans and media, the bout was a professional bout. Greg Hardy was a NFL defensive end prior to his stint in UFC. He’s currently 34 years old.
Hardy joined the UFC in 2019 but won just four out of ten and was pretty much universally disliked.
Rahman Jr. and Hardy competed in a four round heavyweight matchup in Austin, Texas.
Hardy weighed-in at 320 pounds, while his opponent topped the scales at 226.
