Paddy Pimblett Calls Ilia Topuria “Fake Spanish,” Stakes Bernabéu Challenge

Adding fuel to their longtime rivalry, #7-ranked lightweight star said, “I want to fight Ilia whenever, wherever… I’d love to punch your face in front of 90,000 people in Bernabéu.” Topuria (17-0), who claimed lightweight gold with a June KO of Charles Oliveira, awaits his first title defense, with Pimblett emerging as a leading contender. However, nothing is official yet.
