My predominant objective once I received into the boxing ring once more was to battle Jake Paul and construct Misfits. Construct Misfits, attempt to battle Jake Paul time and time and time once more, it’s simply excuse after excuse after excuse. As a substitute of Tommy Fury, I used to be there able to battle Jake Paul. I used to be prepared, I used to be there, let’s go, and as a substitute he fought Nate Diaz. Then at that time, I needed to battle Tommy Fury. I believe I attempted to construct up once more to attempt to battle Jake once more, after which he was simply getting heavier and heavier and heavier attempting to maneuver the objective posts with regards to weight. Then it received to the purpose the place it was like, what am I doing? I’m finished.”
