Kevin "Baby Slice" Ferguson Jr. - the son of the late Kimbo Slice - believes his father would have did really well in a boxing match with former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder.

Kimbo was one of the first Youtube legends, with his backyard brawls.

His online popularity led him to the world of mixed martial arts, where he competed for EliteXC, Bellator and UFC. He picked up wins over MMA legends like Tank Abbott and Ken Shamrock.

Kimbo, who was guided by veteran promoter Gary Shaw, would enter the world of boxing in 2011, and compiled a record of 7-0 with 6 wins by knockout.

Shaw had high expectations for Kimbo in the heavyweight division, but the popular fighter had his last boxing match in 2013 - and focused his full energy on MMA, where he was making a lot more money.

Kimbo would have his last MMA bout in early 2016, and then shockingly passed away a few months later at age 42 due to heart failure.

Ferguson believes his father, if he would have trained with a top level boxing coach, would have did very well against Wilder in the ring.

“I actually think he [Kimbo] would do really good. Deontay doesn’t throw a lot of punches. He throws that one-two. You get hit with that and there will be problems. But I think if he [Kimbo] actually trained with a high-level coach and he actually put in the work, I think he would do great against Wilder. I think he might even knock him out, honestly,” Ferguson said to Bloody Elbow.

“My dad was like me, or I guess I get it from him, where he didn’t like training. He didn’t train for his fights. He didn’t run, he didn’t train. All he did was lift weights. He’d go in there and handle business on pure gifts. I just imagine if he actually was serious and put in the work it would have been a whole ‘nother story in boxing and MMA.”

Ferguson, who followed in his father's MMA footsteps and fights for Bellator, feels that his father doesn't get enough credit for what he contributed to the sport of mixed martial arts.

"He contributed a lot to MMA. He put it on the map. He was the first televised fighter in MMA on CBS, on a national network. He broke records. Even in the UFC he broke records,” said Ferguson.

“I think he did a lot. Now they have bareknuckle boxing and that’s becoming real big, and I think he did a lot for that as well. Coming from the streets.”
