Doherty quickly took to social media to respond, announcing that his bodyguard was ready to accept the challenge. In a post on X, he emphasized the potential for significant earnings from the match, saying, "My security is down to box that Andrei guy in a fight. So Andrei, you want to box or fight my security guard, let’s set it up and do it the right way. You guys would get the biggest paydays of your lives, and me too, baby. You’re not leaving me out of this sh*t because I brought you back. We’re going to do a fight: My security vs. you. I’ll get all the money, but you two will fight. Let’s go."
An Unusual Twist
The situation took an unexpected turn when Doherty released another video suggesting a more unconventional fight format. He proposed that Arlovski could take on multiple opponents simultaneously, including himself and his friends. "Or we can 3 vs. 1, Andrei. It will be all three of us in the ring.

You guys decide," Doherty stated to his followers.
