Boxer with wrestling gimmick signs with Don King and targets former four-weight world championDAZN
Don King has signed a fighter.

Blair Cobbs is ready to return to action after signing a promotional contract with the legendary Don King.  

The Philadelphia fighter climbed the rankings in an impressive manner as he entertained fans with his all-action style and entertaining gimmick that saw impersonate wrestling royalty, Ric Flair. 

Known as ‘The Flair,’ a moniker paying homage to the pro wrestling icon, Cobbs would receive attemtion for that as much as his performances inside the ring.  

He was defeated by Alexis Rocha in 2022 before returning to defeat Maurice Hooker the same year, and now he’s ready to resume his career with King by his side. 

“I’m ready to return to action,” said Cobbs when speaking to FightNews. “And what better way to further my career than to be with the best promoter in the game, Don King.  

“I’m also tired of listening to all the talk out of Adrien Broner. Broner’s talk is cheap. Broner seems to be more comfortable fighting on social media than he is in the ring. There’s no reason not to get in the ring together and I’ll show him who is the boss.”
