Bobby Lashley has explored opportunities outside of the wrestling ring by competing for Strikeforce, Titan Fighting Championship, and Bellator MMA. His last fight took place in 2016.
In a recent interview with Alex McCarthy for Mail Sport, Lashley revealed that he still has an interest in boxing. He said,
“So I’ve been talking about it for a while now. At sone point in time in your career, you got to stop fighting. But I still have so much fight left in me. But that time is ticking too, where I’m gonna say, ‘All right, get that out of your mind.’ I’ve been offered a bare knuckles fight against a football player. I talked about a couple boxing matches that I’d be interested in doing. MMA is still in the horizon also. But for me to have another fight, I hope, I’m crossing my fingers, I’d like to do some…I personally think boxing is the way to go right now. There’s a lot of buzz with boxing. Am I fighting Tyson Fury? I don’t think so. That’s not where I wanna go. But I do wanna get in that ring, and I wanna have one of those bigger matchups against someone. I mean, I don’t have the time to train for a Tyson Fury. But I train all the time anyway, so I can probably fight somebody that has and boxing experience that still want to do it, such as myself.”
