Andrei Arlovski\u2019s still got it.<\/p>\n
The former UFC heavyweight champion continued his post-MMA resurgence, scoring a powerful fourth-round knockout of Kelechi \u201cKelz\u201d Dyke in his Misfits Boxing debut Sunday in Nashville, Tenn.<\/p>\n

Arlovski, 46, almost went the distance with Kelz, but trapped the former reality television star against the ropes in the final frame of their four-round bout and put him away with a right hand square on the chin. Kelz immediately slumped against the ropes and then dropped out cold on the mat.<\/p>\n
In Arlovski\u2019s 25 previous MMA bouts, the Belarusian legend failed to finish a fight via strikes, but he has now finished three straight fights under boxing, bare-knuckle boxing, and Dirty Boxing rules, with all of those wins taking place in 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy manager told me you have an opportunity to fight in a boxing match,\u201d Arlovski said. \u201cWould you like to? I said absolutely, let\u2019s go. That\u2019s how it happened.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo be honest with you, shame on me, I never heard about [Misfits]. But right after a little bit, I found out that Tony Ferguson is fighting over there. I guess I\u2019ll find out soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
Arlovski added that he\u2019s also interested in boxing Jake Paul, who recently saw his Nov. 14 bout with Gervonta \u201cTank\u201d Davis fall through due to Davis currently being the subject of a civil suit with an ex-girlfriend accusing him of batter and false imprisonment among other serious charges. Paul is targeting a December date for his next fight now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andrei Arlovski\u2019s still got it.
