Paulie Malignaggi
American boxer Paulie Malignaggi, born in 1980, held the world champion welterweight title from 2012 to 2013. He retired from boxing in 2017.
Something unexpected happened at the weigh-in of the fight between Malignaggi and Shawn Porter in 2014 (above), namely, what Paulie was wearing. There was no nudity, aside from a brief rear view at the end, but a bit of humor is always welcome.
I showed this photo of the weigh-in in a post last year called "What to Wear When Weighing In." Fighters can wear whatever they want while weighing in, including being naked, as long as they're under the maximum weight for their class. The elephant G-string was just for the weigh-in. He wore standard boxing trunks for the actual fight.
Technical Note: for those of you who have had problems viewing videos on my blog, try viewing them if possible on a different platform or a different browser. I upload the videos as standard mp4 files, but Blogger somehow converts them so that they won't play on certain software. In my own case, the videos play fine on the Safari browser on my Macintosh desktop, but they don't play on an older version of Safari on my laptop. Yet they play fine on the Chrome browser on both machines.

He's a hottie!
Gotta love it. A bunch of presumably homophobic men staring at a near-naked man while hooting and hollering.
