Former two-time UFC heavyweight champion, Frank Mir will be making his professional boxing debut on the 17th of April on the undercard of Jake Paul vs Ben Askren. He will be taking on former multi-time light heavyweight and cruiserweight boxing champion Antonio Tarver. Tarver dominated the light-heavyweight division in the early 2000s.
Speaking in an interview Mike Heck of MMA Fighting, Frank Mir revealed that he would be putting on a show, irrespective of the outcome of the match. He also vowed to destroy and shatter Tarver, leaving him on a stretcher. Mir didn’t seem to care about the win, all he seemed bothered was failing to put on a memorable performance.
‘I want to make sure that when I walk out of that ring, my daughter’s proud that I’m her father‘ – Frank Mir
Frank Mir was quoted as saying, “I just want to make a good showing of myself first and foremost. Look, I’m an example to my children and my children are smart. They’re phenomenal human beings, if you watch my Instagram you can see the things they’re already doing, my daughter and my sons. So I’m an example to them. When I walk out into that ring, my daughter’s gonna be in my corner. I want to make sure that when I walk out of that ring, my daughter’s proud that I’m her father.
He continued, “Regardless of how that fight ends, I’m walking out of there with pride. Hopefully, that means me putting my fist through Tarver’s ribs and he gets carried out on a stretcher. But if it comes out with an L, he’s still probably leaving on a stretcher. I might get outpointed, but I’m making sure that everybody knows I was there.”
Can Frank Mir have a night to remember, come the 17th of April?
