Overview
- In a new appearance on Chan Sung Jung’s YouTube channel, Holloway said he still considers himself the UFC’s best boxer and dismissed online critics.
- Ilia Topuria had challenged that label before UFC 308 and then delivered the first knockout loss of Holloway’s career in their featherweight title fight last October.
- Holloway rebounded by retaining the BMF title against Dustin Poirier at UFC 318, reinforcing his standing after the Topuria setback.
- He has called for a second fight with Topuria at lightweight, with the Georgian‑Spaniard now the 155‑pound champion and Dana White indicating openness to booking it.
- Holloway’s case rests on his striking record, including 581 of 1,030 landed vs. Calvin Kattar in 2021 and highlight‑reel knockouts of Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 and Chan Sung Jung.
