– As you know, in Saudi Arabia there will be a fight between boxer Tyson Fury and MMA fighter Francis Ngannou. How do you see the opportunity to play in this tournament against Mike Tyson?
– That would be interesting for me. I would prepare myself.
– Before October 28, would you have time to prepare?
