Andre Winner is the latest MMA fighter who’s set for a switch to professional boxing.
Winner showed solid boxing skills and a terrific chin – he was never knocked out – while competing in the UFC and BAMMA and at 35, he reckons he has a couple of years to make an impact in the ring.
He has been training with Ajmal ‘Hudge’ Butt alongside WBO European super-featherweight champion Lyon Woodstock jr at the Leicester Unity gym and hopes to make his debut next year, possibly in February or March.
