Jorge Masvidal Teases Boxing Return in Early 2024
Fans may get to witness Jorge Masvidal put his striking skills on display once again, only in the squared circle rather than the Octagon.
The longtime veteran known as “Gamebred” (35-17) announced his retirement from mixed martial arts following a decision loss to Gilbert Burns (22-6) at UFC 287 in April. The loss marked Masvidal's fourth consecutive defeat with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, including two failed title bids against then-champion Kamaru Usman.

When asked if he would be re-entering the boxing world, Masvidal replied, “It's a yes. And my yes is yes and my no is no. And I’m telling you, that’s a yes.”
While the Miami native was tight-lipped about possible opponents, his eagerness to compete once again was evident. Masvidal followed his answer by gesturing hitting something, with a huge grin on his face.
“No names right now,” Masvidal remarked, “but I can tell you it’s early next year, and I can tell you somebody is going to get killed.”
