Mir today announced that he’s taking on former WBA, WBC, IBF and IBO champion Antonio Tarver as part of the upcoming Triller Fight Club pay-per-view event featuring Ben Askren and Jake Paul on April 17 at an as-yet-undisclosed location.
I am a competitor. I have been all my life.
I take on challenges to grow and better myself as a person.
I have always wanted to test myself in the boxing ring so when this opportunity arose I jumped on it.
