The 38-year-old further goes on to state how he has altered his career goals.
“For the rest of my career, just winning is never going to be enough anymore. I’ve made that commitment to myself, to my coaches, my family. That if I’m out there, you’re gonna get maximum effort, you gonna get maximum performance every single time I fight It’s not because it’s Gilbert or because I lost my last fight and it’s not because I want a title shot.
“It’s because I’m capable of it. And if you capable of it and you don’t do it then what are you out there for. So I’m gonna go out there for every single fight of my career and will let everybody know that I’m the best.”
