Therefore, the champion remains close to his roots and expresses his gratitude whenever he can.

Nevertheless, he is looking forward to cementing his greatness in the ring by beating The Gypsy King in a title unification bout. However, due to the prevailing circumstances, it seems highly improbable that the match will take place any time before January 2021. Moreover, they both will need to surpass the obstacles that currently stand in their way to make a title unification match possible.

Should the bout take place, who do you think will emerge the undisputed Heavyweight champion?
