Conor McGregor announced that Xzibit has joined his music label.

The Irishman initially came to the public eye through the UFC, before taking up boxing and further developing his fortune.

The 36-year-old currently owns a portfolio of pubs and alcohol brands, and recently announced that he is focusing on trying to conquer the music industry. McGregor founded his own label, Greenback Records.

The label continues to expand its roster of artists, though McGregor has now announced its first acquisition, Xzibit. The rapper has been a key figure in the hip-hop world since the mid-1990s, and McGregor is looking forward to helping the former Pimp My Ride actor return to the stage.

McGregor announced on Instagram that Xzibit will be releasing up-to-date music for the first time since 2012, with the album “Kingmaker” scheduled for release on October 11. The American star will appear the next day at the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship gala, which could mark his revival after a 12-year break.

Sitting in the backseat of his Rolls Royce, the former UFC star was filmed saying: “Xzibit my man, welcome to the team.

“We are very excited to release fresh up-to-date music from you, an icon in the game and a legend in the industry. Let’s go, Xzibit. Let’s go, Greenback Records.

The post received over 100,000 likes, with many of McGregor’s followers sharing their surprise to see the Irishman working with Xzibit.

Middleweight prospect Joel Bartell says he’s looking forward to his rematch with Jordan Reynolds and insists he’s taking positives from his first career loss.

Bartell last broke his undefeated record with a unanimous decision victory over Reynolds in July, who maintained his undefeated record.

A 22-year-old who trains, among others, Mark Tibbstreats the defeat as an instructive lesson before returning to the ring on Friday at York Hall on the card of the fight for the title of European bantamweight champion Thomas Essomba from Charlie Edwards.

“Yes, I learned a lot,” Bartell said proboxing-fans.com.

“Like you said, it was a great fight.

“It was a great fight for the fans. Entertainment.

“At the end of the day, this is the entertainment business and people want to watch it, and I learned a lot from this fight and I can’t wait to get back in the ring and perform.

“I want to reach the very top.

“I want to complete the classic route.

“English, British, Commonwealth, EBU and then world titles, but you have to take those fights, especially at the beginning, I think, to see where you are at and what you need to improve.

“Otherwise, you will be protected until you get where you want to go and you will fail in a place that will be harder to come back from.”

The Surrey player is looking to get back to winning ways when he meets Nikolas Dzurnak, who has been stopped in three of his seven defeats.

Bartell admits he hopes for a rematch with Reynolds in the future, but admits he needs to get back to winning form first.

“I definitely want a rematch,” he added.

“But like I said, you have to come back, you have to rebuild, so this fight is six rounds.

“Then I think I will get the eighth round and we will see where I am in the rankings because there are a few titles there.

“When it comes to the South Area, I would fight for the South Area.

“But there is Commonwealth silver, which has been a lot of competition for lately, and also English.

“There are many titles, but as I said, six [rounder]eight [rounder]See where I stand and I would love to see a rematch in the future.”

Thursday, September 26, 2024 – This morning, the eastern boxing community turned out in full force for the unveiling of the Nazareo Boxing Gym, renovated by the World Boxing Organization (WBO) and Jake Paul’s Boxing Bullies Foundation.

Among those in attendance were former champions Juan “John John” Molina, McWilliams Arroyo, Subriel Matías and Nelson Dieppa, as well as Representative Carlos “Johnny” Méndez, NABO 140-pound champion Alfredo “Ojo” Santiago and Fajardo Mayor José Aníbal” Joey” Meléndez. Super middleweight boxer Edgar Berlanga was also on hand for his first public appearance since challenging WBO super middleweight champion Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez of Guadalajara on September 14 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“The facility was huge. I didn’t expect so many people to show up at the unveiling. We must thank Joey (Meléndez) and Representative Johnny Méndez for all the support they have given us on this project,” said OMB Chairman, Mr. Francisco “Paco” Valcárcel.

There are currently 12 gyms in Nazareo, which have been renovated and modernized by Boxing Bullies and the WBO. And it won’t be the last.

“We always appreciate the unconditional support of Paco and OMB. This crucial alliance provides our athletes with the opportunity to train in high-quality spaces,” said Francisco Correa, spokesman for Boxing Bullies.

“We want to continue to look for more sports facilities in Puerto Rico to continue our mission.”
