Quinton Jackson wants to lace up the boxing gloves at least once before calling it quits.
“Rampage” recently told TMZ Sports he’d be willing to box anyone except one man.
“I’ll fight anybody but Deontay Wilder – he’s too tall,” Jackson said. “Unless they’re giving me $100 million, I’ll fight him. I ain’t going to lie – I keep it real. I don’t like fighting tall guys with long reach. I tell you what, I’ll fight him if they give me $100 million, and we do one boxing match and one MMA match, I’ll fight him – $100 million.
“I’m keeping it real, I don’t like fighting long, tall dudes. I’ve got to take them down.”
Jackson (38-13 MMA, 5-2 BMMA), who is scheduled to face Fedor Emelianenko at Bellator Japan next month, said he’s wanted to compete in a boxing match a long time before it became a popular thing for MMA fighters to do.
“I asked (UFC president) Dana White a long time ago, way before Conor McGregor even was around: ‘Let me do some boxing,'” Jackson said. “It wasn’t my time. There was nobody for me to fight. I still want to fight a boxing match before I retire. I’m fighting Dec. 29 in Japan. I still fight – I haven’t retired yet.”
