Bikie gang boss who was jailed for assault makes huge move relating to Conor McGregor's new business venture
A former bikie gang boss has revealed he is in talks with Conor McGregor 's Bare Knuckle Fight Championship to headline the controversial fighting competition's upcoming event in Perth. Matthew Floyd who is understood to have been the former leader of WA's Lone Wolf bike gang has sought out a permit from the WA Combat Sports Commission, according to The West Australian. He is now awaiting the outcome of the application, with the Commission holding an emergency meeting this week to make a call on whether he will be authorised to fight in the event, which has been scheduled to arrive in Perth on July 19. Under the Commission's criteria, fighters are required to be of good standing and follow the Commission's code of conduct in order to receive a permit to fight. It is understood that he could square off against former Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers in the event. The West Australian said that Floyd was hoping the Commission would see how much of an opportunity this was going to be for him. 'It's at RAC Arena, it's a life-changing opportunity, financially, and also the person I'm fighting against . . . he fought Floyd Mayweather,' he said to the outlet. 'It's my way, it's a living, it's an income, you shouldn't be able to tell a man whether he can work or provide for his family or not. 'It's all these people sitting in their chairs stopping people from making an honest living.' He added that he hoped the Commission would look past his criminal history. Floyd was jailed in his early 20s over ecstasy tablets. He'd later rise to become the leader of the WA Chapter of the Lone Wolf bikie gang. But he'd be thrown back into prison for a further six years after he was charged with assault and kidnapping of known paedophiles. Since then, Floyd has turned his attention to the boxing ring. He also recently called out Tommy Fury for a meeting in the ring. He owns and operates a gym in WA and is helping many young fighters stay out of crime while actualising their potential as fighters. Meanwhile, Sports Minister Rita Saffioti also explained she would not step in to cancel the event, if the Commission handed Floyd a permit. 'The advice to me is that with very strict protocols and criteria that the event, if the organiser were to meet that, that it could be conducted in WA,' she said. McGregor is a co-owner of the fighting championship and recently was pictured standing with Floyd and boxing coach Phil Sutcliffe. He has also vowed to one day fight in the promotion. 'Yes, the warrior spirit burns inside me,' he said. 'If you think I'm up here giving these speeches and leading these men into battle and I wont step in there myself, think again,' McGregor declared. 'For sure, Conor McGregor will fight in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. Mark my words.' Concerns have been raised over the safety of fighters competing in bare-knuckle events. However, Floyd has assured those with doubts over the sport that there were greater risks in boxing. 'I've got in plenty of street fights and, you know, felt like it hurt, but you'd only ever feel it the next day,' Floyd added. 'In boxing, you get the thump, you feel like your whole head just goes, and it might go black for a bit — I feel like that's from the glove.' The event, though, is still waiting on the green light from WA Combat Sports Commission chairman, Bob Kucera. He told the ABC that fighters were waiting for permits to be issued while a decision on whether the event would proceed as planned would be made by June 7. He also allayed concerns over the safety of the event, telling ABC radio, that participants are 'not people like you see in Northbridge where it's just a couple of drunks on the street having a go.

Hop to It: Beer Cocktails That Deserve a Spot at Your Next House Party
Last Updated: If you've never had a beer cocktail, you're missing the most refreshing cocktail spin. World Cocktail Day is the ideal reason to shake things up—and no, we don't mean the typical mixers. If you've never had a beer cocktail, you're missing the most refreshing cocktail spin. From citrus mixes to spicy stouts, these simple beers are house party staples waiting to take center stage. Medusa Radler is a refreshing, low-alcohol beer cocktail that is great for consuming during warm weather and easy sipping. To enjoy this German drink, combine 150 ml of cold Medusa Air (Medusa's mild beer variant with 4.5% ABV brewed using 2-row barley malt) with 150 ml of grapefruit or lemon soda. Add soda into a tall glass, then slowly top it up with Medusa Air to preserve the fizz. Stir gently if necessary and garnish the drink with lemon for a citrusy touch. The smooth, balanced flavor of Medusa Air, along with its slight bitterness, complements the tang of the soda, making it a perfect option for this classic German-style cocktail. The drink is refreshing and crisp, still has the essence of beer and citrusy brightness, making it ideal for afternoons and informal gatherings. Proost It's a hot day, the friends are over, and you're in the mood to experiment. You fill a glass with some orange juice, add a splash of lime, a dash of honey for sweetness, and a pinch of black salt for that desi flavor. Stir it well, then slowly add chilled Proost Premium Beer (6.8% ABV). See the golden fizz rise, it's like a sunset in a glass. One sip, and it's fresh, smooth, and just enough kick. No special tools, no great effort. Just good vibes and a great drink. Cheers to simple evenings! Lone Wolf At Lone Wolf, we believe bold beers deserve equally bold companions, and our beer cocktails are anything but average. These inventive brews bring the bite, the buzz, and the unmistakable character of Lone Wolf into every sip. Meet the Lone Michelada, a fearless twist on the classic, crafted with the tropical sweetness of 30 ml mango juice, the sharp zest of 15 ml lime juice, a fiery kick from 3 dashes of Tabasco, and a dusting of crushed pepper, all brought together with a refreshing top-up of Lone Wolf WILD. For those who prefer a fruit-forward adventure, the Alpha Berry Mimosa is your juicy detour from the usual, blending 10 ml strawberry syrup, 30 ml orange juice, and 10 ml lime juice, finished with a lively pour of Lone Wolf ALPHA beer for a bright, effervescent experience. And if you like your sips bold and blazing, the Lone Blaze is here to deliver: a vivid, bittersweet blend of 30 ml Aperol and 30 ml lemon juice, topped generously with MAVRICK beer, served over ice, and garnished with a lemon twist and cherries. Each cocktail is a new way to unleash your wild side — one Lone Wolf brew at a time. Simba A bold, indulgent cocktail blending craft beer and coffee, perfect for evening sipping or dessert pairings. It combines the roasted notes of Simba Stout (chocolate, coffee, caramel) with the smooth bitterness of cold brew coffee. To make it: pour 150 ml Simba Stout into a chilled glass, add 100 ml unsweetened cold brew, a dash of vanilla or coffee liqueur, stir gently, and serve over a large ice cube. Garnish with roasted coffee beans or an orange peel. A velvety, layered drink, creamy, bold, and ideal for post-dinner unwinding. First Published:
