Internet streamer Jack Doherty has issued multiple fight challenges to former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski following a brief physical altercation<\/a> at the Jake Paul versus Anthony Joshua boxing event in Miami on Friday. The confrontation took place in a crowded hallway inside the Kaseya Center, away from the main event cameras.<\/p>\n

Doherty posted videos on social media over the weekend proposing two different fighting scenarios with the veteran MMA fighter. In the first video, he suggested his security guard could face Arlovski in a boxing match or fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy security is down to box that Andrei guy in a fight,\u201d Doherty said in the video posted on X. \u201cSo Andrei, you want to box or fight my security guard, let\u2019s set it up and do it the right away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Doherty claimed both fighters would receive \u201cthe biggest paydays of your lives\u201d while stating he would get all the money from the proposed event. He said he was involved because \u201cI brought you back,\u201d referring to the attention the incident generated online.<\/p>\n

Multiple Fight Scenarios Proposed<\/p>\n

In a second video filmed while eating with two friends who were involved in Friday\u2019s scuffle, Doherty presented another option. He suggested a 3-versus-1 or even 4-versus-1 scenario against the former champion.<\/p>\n

\u201cOr we can 3 vs. 1, Andrei,\u201d Doherty said. \u201cIt will be all three of us in the ring. He doesn\u2019t stand a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Doherty added, \u201cI think all three of us can easily take him. Maybe we\u2019ll 4 vs. 1 him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The streamer and his friends appear small in stature compared to typical combat sports athletes. His security guard appears to be heavyweight-sized, though it remains unknown if any of them have actual fighting experience.<\/p>\n

Arlovski\u2019s Combat Sports Background<\/p>\n

Andrei Arlovski has been competing professionally in combat sports since 1999. He held the UFC heavyweight championship and fought for the promotion more than 40 times during his career.<\/p>\n

Arlovski is no longer under contract with the UFC. He has transitioned to striking-based combat sports competitions in recent years.<\/p>\n

The Belarusian fighter trains at American Top Team in Florida. His most recent bout was a TKO victory over fellow veteran Josh Copeland at a Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship event in June.<\/p>\n

Arlovski has a scheduled fight coming up in February. He is set to challenge BKFC heavyweight champion Ben Rothwell at BKFC: Knuckle Mania 6.<\/p>\n

Neither Arlovski nor his representatives have publicly responded to Doherty\u2019s challenges as of Sunday evening. The 46-year-old fighter has not posted about the Miami incident on his social media accounts.<\/p>\n
