Paulo Costa volunteers to move to heavyweight to face Josh Hawkit at White House event

Paulo Costa has publicly stated he is willing to move up to heavyweight immediately to fight Josh Hawkit. Costa believes fans want to see him, potentially the biggest middleweight in history, compete at heavyweight without a weight cut at the White House event. He claims he might even outweigh Hawkit on fight night. Costa suggested that if Trump still wants Derrick Lewis on the card, Lewis could be matched with a different opponent. Additionally, Costa mentioned that fighting Hawkit at the White House would give him a chance to reclaim the $100,000 he claims Hawkit owes him.
