Anthony Wint wants to further boost his profile after picking up his second win in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Wint (9-0) stayed unbeaten with a 23-second technical knockout of Lucas Armand at UFC 332 on Oct. 3 in Salt Lake City. The former New York Jets linebacker then called for a bout against Sean Sharaf (5-2), who scored a stunning 12-second knockout of Gable Steveson at UFC 331.
Anthony Wint calls for Sean Sharaf fight after UFC 332 knockout
Wint called out Sharaf in his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, targeting UFC 334 in New York City as the ideal setting for the clash. Speaking to reporters at the post-fight press conference, “Bow Down” acknowledged that the November card at Madison Square Garden may already be full but still wants to fight Sharaf in the Big Apple.
“I want to fight in New York and obviously, this is short notice, it’s hard to get that call, especially for the biggest card of all year,” Wint said.
Wint also stressed that there is no animosity between the two, revealing that Sharaf previously gave him a ride from the UFC Performance Institute to his hotel.
“There’s no beef between me and Sean, so I hope people don’t build it up as that,” Wint added. “He actually gave me a ride from the P.I. to my hotel when I was over there, so we had a good conversation just about his journey.”
Sharaf’s profile has risen dramatically since his massive upset of Steveson, and his fan base has swelled, something Wint wants to capitalize on.
“He has a big fan base now; they’re going to be like, ‘No, Sean, go out there and knock this dude out again,’ and I think that makes for a great fight,” Wint said. “At the end of the day, we’re in the business of sport, but we’re in the business of show. It’s a market at the end of the day and I think that’s a huge fight to make.”
