Pereira: “Perhaps in 2027 I will have a boxing fight”

Former UFC middleweight champion Alex Pereira became another mixed martial arts fighter who announced his desire to try his hand at professional boxing. According to the Brazilian, this could happen in 2027.

Thus, apparently, Pereira “trolled” his long-time rival Israel Adesanya, which the day before was either joking or serious statedthat he will hold his next fight this year.

“It is possible that in 2027 I will have a boxing match,” the Brazilian wrote on Instagram.
