I think he’s by far the top fighter, aside from me in the division. because of his speed, strength, intelligence I believe he’s right at the top of the list. But I’m more superior and I’m planning to differentiate myself from him. I’m going to look like a breeze when I’m fighting with him. I’m keen to show everyone that I’m much more than what meets the eye, that I’m actually more skilled than what you think or when in the same ring as me, you’ll be able to feel it immediately. That’s why I want to prove to Gervonta Davis personally, too.”
