“It's just not true, I'm booked for more, at a smaller weight, with no gloves on. Don't say I won't take it when I have the paperwork, I'd box you Darren Till, just has to make sense.”
“I don't think I'm getting Jake Paul. I'm being a realist. Jake Paul's not taking the fight. I'm not going to sit here and beg for a fight I'm not going to get. He's a bigger star on a bigger trajectory. Why am I going to sit here and waste my breath and waste my time? He's not taking it right now, so I won't call for it. Andrew Tate won't take it, Mike Perry, Jorge Masvidal, none of them want to take it. That's the truth! No one wants to fight!”
