“He showed in Saudi Arabia that he still has a lot left in the tank and he is still very dangerous. I’ve got respect for him but I’m on to maximum violence, straight animal instinct.“I want to be heavyweight champion of the world so anywhere in the world is my lion’s den.”If you aspire to be world champion, you should be able to fight anywhere.
