What has been said?
“I will stop him,”
“They say he's a real cruiserweight, but they said that against the others, too. I feel comfortable, happy, and ready to go against Dorticos. He's a big puncher who has a lot of experience. He's shared the ring with a lot of good fighters. But I’m the champion and I’m ready for whatever he brings. I'll take this fight, but the next one has to be for another one of the titles. That's more exciting for me. I want to be the undisputed champion.”
“He’s a great challenge. He’s a former world champion. I’m just glad to be here, and on June 28th I will keep my belt. That’s all.”
