MMA legend Yoel Romero has confirmed a boxing debut is in the works for a future date, telling fight fans he will "see you soon".
The Bellator fighter will compete for light-heavyweight gold on Friday night in Chicago against Vadim Nemkov, who has seemed unbeatable in his run to the top of the promotion. And despite being closer to 50 than 40, he insists that he has at least six more years left in the sport and is planning a number of title defences.
But Romero is also keen to make the switch to boxing, having already represented his country in the Olympics as a wrestler and then made the successful transition into MMA where he has fought for world honours. He was previously considered as an opponent for Jake Paul, and has a number of offers available for a move into the ring.
