Alex Poatán confirmed that he intends to pursue a career in boxing after his MMA career. According to the Brazilian, in an interview with 'Connect Cast,' the change is not motivated solely by money, but by the desire to face new challenges after his career in the UFC, where he is the current light heavyweight champion (up to 93 kg).
"I'm going to box. I've made it clear that I want to box. When I started kickboxing, no one believed in me. In MMA, the same thing. In boxing, they'll say the same. I'm used to it. I don't care. I just want to fight. It's not just about the money; I like the challenge. I want to be the best," said Poatan.
