Who won between Paulie Malignaggi and Artem Lobov? Full result from the bare knuckle fight

Artem Lobov has pulled off a huge shock by defeating Paulie Malignaggi in a bare knuckle bout in Florida.

Conor McGregor's friend and teammate won via unanimous decision, with all three judges scoring the contest 48-47 in his favour.

After the bout, former world boxing champion Malignaggi claimed he broke his right hand during the fight and wasn't hit with a clean punch all night.

He also ruled out fighting in a bare knuckle fight again and was furious with the judges' decision.

Speaking after the bout, Lobov said: "It was an emotional fight. I came in a little bit on the back foot more than usual. I still pressed, still stopping him and that's a nice decision."

There had been speculation that McGregor would attend the fight, but the Dubliner opted to stay away.
