Speaking to Mail Sport he said: “It’s interesting, I’m just, I’m just basing s*** off of facts.
“He’s like, ‘Watch your shape, watch your shape’. I’m like, ‘Alright, but you watch it’.
“It could be to his advantage. I think it’s also smart that he’s doing that. I’m fighting on all of his rules and what he wanted.
“He wanted it to be a pro fight. He wanted eight, two-minute rounds. So I’m giving him everything he wants.
“I’m going to his playground, and I’m going to beat his a**. I mean, it’s just being alert and knowing what to do in that situation.
“I could definitely see him trying to go for an early KO, but he’ll find out very quickly that I also have a ton of power.
“So doing that with a guy like me isn’t always the smartest thing to do, because I’ll catch one of his shots then counter.”
