Michael Bisping remains active in the world of fighting, but don`t expect him to return to the cage anytime soon.
This clarification is especially relevant on April Fool`s Day, as Bisping`s former promotion, Cage Warriors, jokingly announced that the former middleweight champion would be ending his retirement to challenge middleweight champion Dario Bellandi.
Naturally, this announcement was just an April Fool`s prank, a frequent occurrence in sports news, and combat sports are no exception. Many fighters participated in the fun, with boxing star Tyson Fury claiming he would replace Daniel Craig as James Bond, and Ben Askren also announcing a comeback – to collegiate wrestling at the age of 40 for the University of Iowa.
From the amusing to the groan-worthy, take a look at some of the best (and worst) April Fool`s posts from this year.
