Malignaggi, who has a pro boxing record of 36-8 (7 KOs) and a bare knuckle boxing record of 1-1, most recently fought in October, outpointing bare knuckle veteran Tyler Goodjohn by split decision. Malignaggi didn’t escape unscathed, however, as an eye poke and a deep cut above his right eye left him wearing a patch for weeks after the fight, with stitches marring his face.
