Andrei Arlovski may have inadvertently found his next opponent while attending the Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua fight.
Even at the age of 46, ‘The Pitbull’ is among the top 1% of people in the world in terms of hand-to-hand combat. The Belarusian has carved out a successful career for himself in mixed martial arts and is still going strong as he approaches his 50th birthday.
Despite being someone most people wouldn’t mess with, that wasn’t the case when he crossed paths with Jack Doherty backstage at the Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua event. Andrei Arlovski and Jack Doherty’s team got into a brawl, with punches being thrown on both sides.
Both have spoken out since the altercation, but Doherty isn’t satisfied with leaving the incident behind him. Instead, the social media figure wants to take it one step further, offering Arlovski the biggest payday of his career.
“Guys, my security is down to box that Andrei guy in a fight,” Doherty said in a post shared to his followers on X. “So, Andrei, if you want to box my security guard or fight him, let’s set it up.”
“Let’s do it the right way. Both of you guys will get the biggest paydays of your lives, and me too, baby. You’re not leaving me out of this sh*t because I brought you back, baby.”
“So, we’re gonna do a fight: My security guard versus [Arlovski]. I’m gonna get all the money, but you two are going to fight. Let’s go.”

Andrei Arlovski has been competing in the sport since 1999. Over 15 years of making the walk down to the cage has likely earned the powerhouse millions.
Alongside the money he has made throughout his career, the heavyweight has shared the spotlight with some of the greatest fighters in the sport’s history. Having competed against the likes of Fedor Emelianenko, Francis Ngannou, and Alistair Overeem, the prospect of facing a much lower-skilled opponent will be music to Arlovski’s ears.
In a quick response to the proposition, Arlovski’s manager, Abe Kawa, revealed whether his fighter would be open to the idea.
“We absolutely accept,” Kawa told MMA fighting.
Similar to many new-age social media influencers, Jack Doherty is known for his controversial behavior.
Following his initial fight offer, Doherty followed it up with another. The prankster insisted he and his two friends, the men involved in the original confrontation on Friday, could all face Arlovski simultaneously.
“Or we could three vs. one, Andrei,” Doherty continued. “It’ll be all three of us in the ring with him.”
“He doesn’t stand a chance. I think all three of us can easily take him. And maybe four vs. one him. Or it can just be me and my security versus Andrei.”

Without trying, Andrei Arlovski easily fended off the two attackers while Jack Doherty stood back and observed his friends get handled by the former UFC heavyweight champion.

Not content with his second fight idea, Doherty then shared a third video aimed at Arlovski.
This time, he suggested a three vs. one clash between himself and his two security guards against Andrei Arlovski.
“Alright, I’ve got another proposition for Mr. Andrei,” Doherty said in his third and final video. “Me and two of my security guards versus you in the ring.”
“I’m not gonna be fighting, I’m gonna be hiding behind them trying to not get touched, because obviously, I don’t want to get hurt. My security guards’ job is to stop you from getting to me.”
“I’m just gonna be running around the ring, hiding behind them the whole time, being like, ‘No, don’t get me.’ Hoping you don’t break my jaw…”
“I think that’ll be way more entertaining than my security guard versus Andrei. Throw me in there, you know? Add me in the mix and it will be way better. Way more viral. Way more money. Let’s get f***ing rich, Andrei.”
