We’ll see if they keep the fight on because I’m already dangerous. “With that eye cut open again, and blood in his face, it’s up to the doctors to take protocol.

The head is not meant to be hit by power like Deontay Wilder’s. “Deep down in his heart, I feel that he is very, very nervous. When you knock a person out and give them a concussion, you never forget that. You never forget who did it to you, and how they did it. When you go back in the ring with them a second time to relive it, it has to be stressful. You can’t sleep at night. ”
