“I have been asking for this fight through social media, and it’s been playing out on Instagram for all my fans and followers to see. With this series we wanted to show what it takes to be a champ from those I view as champions in life and their careers. I’m relentless in the pursuit of being the best boxer this sport has seen, leaving a legacy of always fighting the best, and this fight is going to be one you need to watch.”
