He told Genting Casino: “I heard Misfits have something big coming up in Qatar, so that may be an interesting venue.
“As far as the opponent, it has to be somebody with a market and following.
“My wife has a market, so it wouldn’t make sense for her to fight a random person.
“The market has to be at the same level or higher. I don’t know any names right now.
“I heard Katie Price being talked about, but I’m not sure who she is.

“I’d want someone with a high market or wide following. I don’t know names, but if it’s worth it, we’re interested.”
When pressed for a date for his wife’s ring debut, Malik said: “We’re still working on that.
“It was supposed to be in August, but that was our wedding month.
“We had too much going on with planning and navigating our schedules.
“Even when Kate’s not working, she’s always setting up her next venture, so she really never has downtime.
“The future’s bright for that, though. I’m in contact with the right people. Kate trains three to four times a week, so we’ll see.
“It depends on the schedule and how Kate feels.”
