This was a bare-knuckle bout under the BKFC banner.

BRAVE CF president Mohammed Shahid told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloodyelbow.com\/2019\/7\/24\/20706272\/brave-cf-president-ahead-of-invite-only-event-we-are-not-a-promotion-we-are-a-vision\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bloody Elbow<\/a> that he&#8217;s interested in booking a boxing match between Lobov and Khan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArtem Lobov vs. Amir Khan in a boxing match is something that we would be interested in,\u201d said Shadid. \u201cJohn Kavanagh wanted that bout in BRAVE CF so we are prepared to talk about it. If we can work with both sides, this could happen although there are other options for Lobov out there. I\u2019d like to see him take on any boxer at the top level but no talks have happened yet. Lobov will be in attendance on July 25th so discussions may begin then.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While such a bout may prove to be lucrative, Lobov spoke to <a href=\"https:\/\/thebodylockmma.com\/brave-cf\/artem-lobov-discusses-amir-khan-hints-at-conor-mcgregor-return\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Body Lock<\/a> and claimed there are other options on the table.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmir\u2019s not the only boxer out there, you know, there\u2019s countless [other] names,\u201d Lobov said. \u201cI like to do big things, and BRAVE like to do big things. So, if maybe we can combine our forces together, you know, we could do great things together, so why not? Like I said, everybody wants to see, you know, MMA fighter versus the boxer again. So let\u2019s, let\u2019s do it. Let\u2019s organize it. I\u2019m happy to do it. It would be great to do it under the BRAVE banner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Do you think Artem Lobov will ultimately fight Amir Khan, or will he explore other options?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.COM<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 7\/26\/2019. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artem Lobov is keeping his options open when it comes to fighting more boxers.
