Greg Hardy laced up the gloves for the first time following his UFC release.
Hardy was back in action this past Saturday but switched the Octagon for the ring as he made his boxing debut. The former NFL and UFC star took on Mike Crook and got his career off to a flying start. The fight was put on by Black Sheep Boxing.
Here’s how the fight played out:
Greg Hardy Scores Knockout in Boxing Debut
This was Hardy’s first outing since he was released from the UFC following three back-to-back losses. The 34-year-old went (7-5) in his professional MMA career and was unable to find himself in the win column dating back to 2020.
Hardy always expressed an interest in transitioning into boxing, drawing inspiration from the likes of Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder. Perhaps he didn’t anticipate it so soon.
