Goodjohn, 34, of Ely, England, has a 5-3 record in bare-knuckle boxing, having beaten Joe Smith by unanimous decision in his most recent fight in April 2025. Prior to competing in bare-knuckle, Goodjohn fought in traditional boxing, compiling a pro record of 13-6 (4 KOs), though he did end a seven-year absence from pro boxing in 2024 with a second-round knockout loss to Weljon Mindoro on a ProBox TV card, for which Malignaggi coincidentally was on the commentary team.
