Andrei Arlovski Boxing Exhibition on Feb. 27

We all knew this day would come, and it was supposed to be last year until heavyweight Brett Rogers did the impossible and knocked former UFC Heavyweight Champion Andrei Arlovski out in just seconds flat, a feat the former champ was known for during his much talked about UFC run. Andrei has long been training with superstar boxing coach Freddie Roach, who firmly believes in Andrei's boxing ability. Now that Arlovski has had time to heal up, collect himself and do some soul searching, he will dip his toe into the boxing waters and have an exhibition bout against Fres Oquendo for charity in Miami on Feb. 27. 

Both men seem to be eager to help out those in need, and Arlovski of course is looking to raise some eyebrows in the boxing world, with his MMA career at a standstill at the moment. 

"I am honored to step into the ring with a great fighter like Fres Oquendo. This is going to be an exciting exhibition match but we already know the winner: the children we are helping" says Arlovski.

Oquendo says, "I have seen Arlovski in the ring and in the cage and I am excited to be able to showcase my skills against an MMA legend. Believe me, we are going to go at it for four rounds with the goal that every punch and every blow helps this cause. "
