'The Russian Hammer', who is still uncertain about his MMA future, expressed a strong interest in facing Paul in a boxing bout. Lobov also said he wants to compete on a Misfits Boxing card, highlighting the impressive pay structure as a key motivation.''I'm not really sure to be honest in terms of professional MMA, potentially maybe one and done, but I wouldn't mind, you know, getting into some of them celebrity boxing, you know, show that Jake Paul and the Misfits have been organizing, you know, the money seems to be really good there. The events are always massive. A lot of viewership, you know, big numbers, always sold out events.''He continued:''I wouldn't mind doing something like this potentially. Also, planning to have a bigger family now. We're hoping to have another kid soon, trying for another baby, so I need a bigger house. I think I'm going to have another one or two fights, but this is first. I've to get to Tukhogov out of the way. It's been bothering me all these years. It's a fight that I've been thinking about so much.''Check out Artem Lobov's comments below:Artem Lobov hopes Conor McGregor returns strongerIn the aforementioned interview with Ariel Helwani, Artem Lobov opened up about his relationship with Conor McGregor. Notably, Lobov had previously sued the Irish superstar over claims of not being properly compensated following the sale of Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey.Despite their fallout, Lobov, who once shared a close bond with McGregor, wants the former UFC double champion to make a strong and successful comeback:''Obviously, things are not good between me and Conor. We always had each other’s back. I feel like I showed him unmatched loyalty... Now, Conor couldn’t even make it to a press conference with a sore toe. That’s not the same Conor, this isn’t the guy that I know. I want to see the old [McGregor] back and then I feel everything would be sweet between us as well, we could get the band back together.''Check out Artem Lobov's comments below:
