“When I’m in camp, I’m so disciplined. Whether I was back home or 7,000 miles away in California, all I do is eat, sleep and train.”
 
“I respect all fighters. I respect Oscar as a fighter. I respect his trainer {Manny Robles}. This is a voluntary defense. They didn’t have to pick me, so it shows that they want to fight the best. But, they definitely made a mistake picking me.”

“I appreciate all the support I get back home.  It’s unbelievable when I fight at the Manchester Arena and have all of my fans supporting me. But, when you’re in that ring, it’s one-on-one. Whether all the fans are cheering for him or all the fans are cheering for me, at the end of the day, what has to be done is what’s in the ring.”

“I look forward to coming out and everybody booing. They can boo me in, but they’ll definitely be cheering when I leave the ring.”
