What was said?
“Being an underdog, over-dog, middle-dog, I don’t care. I’m a dog,” he said.
“I understand why the bookmakers have done it this way, again, that’s what excites me. I like this, it gives me goosebumps.
“I’m just as happy as Beterbiev, this ‘scary person’. I’m happy. I’m happy it’s three tires.
“It makes it all so much better. It feels like it’s earned, no easy way out.
“He must be respected, I have respected him so far,” he added.
“But when it’s in the ring, there’s no respect. You’re trying to take your opponent’s respect away.”
