Arlovski Camp Accepts Jack Doherty Bodyguard Bout After Viral Backstage Brawl

Talks to formalize the matchup are underway, with scheduling and legal hurdles unresolved.

Overview

  • Jack Doherty proposed a sanctioned fight between Andrei Arlovski and one of his bodyguards, touting it as a major payday for all involved.
  • Abe Kawa, Arlovski’s manager, said they “absolutely accept” and are seeking direct contact with Doherty to set terms, though no contract, date, or venue is set.
  • Arlovski disputed Doherty’s claim that he started the Miami altercation, saying he was attacked and discussing the incident on The Ariel Helwani Show.
  • Reports identify the prospective opponent as Doherty’s large bodyguard known as Kane Kongg, described as roughly 6'9" and about 370 pounds.
  • Any bout must navigate Arlovski’s scheduled BKFC heavyweight title fight against Ben Rothwell on Feb. 7 and Doherty’s pending Florida criminal case.
