Former UFC Star Tyson Pedro Debuts in Boxing Match Wednesday

Former UFC fighter Tyson Pedro is set to make his professional boxing debut against Taimoor Khan on February 26, following a tumultuous year marked by injuries and canceled fights. Pedro, who retired from mixed martial arts last year, expressed his excitement for the challenge, stating he prefers a tough opponent for his first boxing match. Meanwhile, former WWE star Ezekiel Jackson, known as Rycklon, announced his return to wrestling with a scheduled match at Fortitude Wrestling Entertainment’s event on March 15, after years of inactivity. Jackson, who was the last ECW Champion under WWE, aims to conclude his career on his own terms and has been preparing with a renewed focus on fitness. Additionally, Colby Covington, a controversial figure in the UFC, is planning to transition to professional wrestling, indicating he wants to hone his skills at the WWE Performance Center before making his debut in 1-2 years. This shift comes as Covington's UFC career appears to be declining, making the move to wrestling a strategic decision.
