No more “fake” fighting for Bill Goldberg – the pro wrestling legend tells TMZ Sports he’s gearing up for a REAL kickboxing fight … and he’s training with one of the biggest badasses in the biz.
The 48-year-old says he’s flying out to Amsterdam to train with Rico Verhoeven — the world heavyweight champ in the Glory kickboxing league — and he’s serious about fighting.
Goldberg says he’s not delusional — he doesn’t think he’s going to be the next great kickboxing champ … but he really wants the opportunity to show off his combat skills in the ring.
So far, no word on when Goldberg hopes to schedule his first fight.
BONUS — our camera guy Adam is a HUUUGE Goldberg fan and asked for some advice on how to shoot the perfect wrestling trash-talk promo. Check it out.
