“That’s what being a champion is all about, you don’t get to pick and choose who you defend your belt against. Would I understand if he said no? Yeah, of course I would. He’s got an incredible legacy, he’s had an amazing career, and he is not getting any younger either. “But I want to make sure that I can do the same to everyone in the whole of Europe, that I can beat anyone in a fist fight. I’ve got balls and I’m ready to go. I look at the OKTAGON roster and I know I can go and smash all of these guys.
