Speaking to True Geordie, he said, “Ben Askren, he’s doing a great job of promoting the fight. He’s doing a great job of s**t talking. He’s doing great at the press conferences, he’s doing great making these Rocky training videos, it’s interesting, these two worlds colliding and sort of this height in a moment with a perfect time.”
