In a chat with iFL TV, he said, “I mean he [Tyson Fury] will beat me the best but you know I would definitely take it and I would definitely do it to learn and get better you know. The only downfall. Well, the downfall would be, I would get beaten. The good side is I would learn from it. Every time you get beat, you get better you know. I atleast believe that. I train with better guys and I get better”
