Most interestingly, he stated that he is eager to organize a fight for his father under his card on the same date at the same venue.
The 33-year-old legend said, “I’m trying to get John on the undercard, to be honest. We’re still working on that. Frank is working very hard behind the scenes, it’s not been announced but I’m just going to give you a little sneaky preview. Big John, trying to get him on the undercard. So yeah, don’t be surprised.”
Further, he dragged his rival and Dillian Whyte’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, into the conversation and added, “ No, My dad would chin Eddie Hearn in one round, within 30 seconds.”
