While suggesting that the fight is currently in the negotiation stage, 'The Bronze Bomber' said:
"Andy's a good fighter, I like his speed, his willingness, and his bravery. But this man doesn't have enough for me... I am that man. That's why they fear me… We're just looking for location right now. Got a lot of meetings. It's coming. I wanna fight Andy, I hope he wants to fight me."
