He had become 2 Time world boxing champion by beating Josh Taylor for the Junior Welterweight WBO and Ring Boxing belts.

He went on to tell us his fight with George Kambosos, at lightweight, was very draining for him and that he was not able to make the weight anymore at 135, so he moved up to 140.

Where he went to say that, he is feeling good. He also went on to say that he is retiring, because he is making more money outside boxing. He said he wants 3-4 fight multimillion dollar fights, or it’s not worth fighting anymore.
