Slice said in August that he would pursue a boxing career. He never actually competed in a boxing match.
The Inoki Genome Federation pro wrestling organization announced on Tuesday that Slice will take part in its 8-man tournament on February 5th in Fukuoka, Japan, against former Sumo wrestler Shinichi “Wakakirin” Suzukawa. If you recall, “Wakakirin” was supposed to face Bob Sapp at Dynamite!! 2010 until Sapp pulled out on fight night due to undisclosed reasons. Josh Barnett will also reportedly compete in the tournament.
Shaw said he hasn’t talked to Slice since October. He was surprised to hear of Slice’s new gig, but added, “I think Kimbo Slice’s days as a fighter are close to an end.”
