‘Do Bronx’ continued, “I’m expecting this fight to be a war because we’re both good on the feet and on the ground. We both like to fight, we both move forward. Fans can be sure this is going to be a war, but they can also be sure that when it’s done, my arm will be raised. It’s my moment. I respect Ferguson in every way – he’s tough, a fantastic guy – but now it’s my time.”
Charles goes into the fight against ‘El Cucuy’ on the back of a seven-fight win streak. He has secured ‘Performance of the Night’ bonuses in six of those seven fights. ‘Do Bronx’ is a high-level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner and the man in front of him is as good if not better than him.
The fight between the two will be extremely interesting and will answer a lot of questions. Is Tony finished? Can he bounce back at 36? How will Charles fare against a world-class fighter?
