Andrei Arlovski’s still got it.
The former UFC heavyweight champion continued his post-MMA resurgence, scoring a powerful fourth-round knockout of Kelechi “Kelz” Dyke in his Misfits Boxing debut Sunday in Nashville, Tenn.
Watch Arlovski turn back the clock for his big finish below.
Arlovski, 46, almost went the distance with Kelz, but trapped the former reality television star against the ropes in the final frame of their four-round bout and put him away with a right hand square on the chin. Kelz immediately slumped against the ropes and then dropped out cold on the mat.
In Arlovski’s 25 previous MMA bouts, the Belarusian legend failed to finish a fight via strikes, but he has now finished three straight fights under boxing, bare-knuckle boxing, and Dirty Boxing rules, with all of those wins taking place in 2025.
“My manager told me you have an opportunity to fight in a boxing match,” Arlovski said. “Would you like to? I said absolutely, let’s go. That’s how it happened.
“To be honest with you, shame on me, I never heard about [Misfits]. But right after a little bit, I found out that Tony Ferguson is fighting over there. I guess I’ll find out soon.”
Arlovski added that he’s also interested in boxing Jake Paul, who recently saw his Nov. 14 bout with Gervonta “Tank” Davis fall through due to Davis currently being the subject of a civil suit with an ex-girlfriend accusing him of batter and false imprisonment among other serious charges. Paul is targeting a December date for his next fight now.
