Another thing I’m always prepared for is going the full six rounds, toe-to-toe in a thrilling war. I have great cardio and I love to fight aggressively. So, I’m always ready for that. But, you know what I’m going to do? I’m going out there. I’m going for the knockout.”
“I believe I will secure another first-round knockout. Two fights in a row. I’m going to keep doing that. I’m going to keep finishing people. I’m not going to let any judges decide my future anymore, in life, in anything. These opponents are going down. I’m going to show the world. I’m going to keep knocking people out. Mark Tiffin, I’m sorry to say, but you’re in my way, brother. It’s time for you to go to sleep.”
