Sean O'Malley reveals reason behind delay in fight confirmation with Merab Dvalishvili
Sean O'Malley is ready to defend his title against Merab Dvalishvili, but an unexpected hurdle is postponing the clash.
'Sugar' secured his first title defense with a win over Marlon Vera and eyed Dvalishvili next. While initially interested in fighting abroad, O'Malley switched gears due to Dvalishvili's hot streak and popularity.
However, on his podcast, the bantamweight champ revealed a complication:
"I'm trying to get it booked ASAP. The only issue is, some of the next pay-per-views aren't in the country, and I'm not fighting out of the country. They have other people who have other places. But I'm ready to go, I'm f****** wanting to book a fight ASAP... God I just want to hit Merab with that knee, boom, flatline him."
