Kimbo Slice Makes Boxing Debut On August 13

Former UFC fighter Kimbo Slice will make his boxing debut in the main event of an August 13 card in Miami, Oklahoma, but Kimbo does not yet have an opponent for the fight.

“He’s completely focused on his boxing career and excited to showcase his talents inside the squared circle,” Jared Shaw, Team Kimbo Promotion Advisor, said in a release. “Kimbo Slice is hungry and when that man wants his bread, he’s scary.”

Slice went 1-1 in the UFC after his 14-second loss to Seth Petruzelli brought an end to EliteXC in 2008, winning his Octaon debut over Houston Alexander at The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale before being released last May following a second-round TKO to Matt Mitrione.
