It’s a huge fight in the division and the kind of fights I need to be involved in at this stage of my career. There were other names talked about but I wanted the toughest, most dangerous fight out there. Indongo with his two belts was that man.

He is a big tall, діапазонний, southpaw but bring it onI have no fear of anyone and it is only the massive fights for me now.
