On the eve of his performance at 'Boxing of Legends' in front of Joe Riggs, Markus Maluko admitted satisfaction regarding the salary received for the test in the 'noble art'. Scheduled for this Saturday's show (1), the fighter revealed that he will receive more than the payments he made during his UFC days. The information was given to 'Trocação Franca'.
“I'm an MMA fighter and I can face anything. 'I'll offer you this amount for a boxing match.' I said, 'what?' It's more than I was getting in the UFC. I'm in. Let's go. It’s good money, but my focus is on beating this guy (Joe Riggs),” said Maluko.
