This boxing game’s mine, straight like that. “Once me and the team sat down and we figured out like everything falling through [with Vergil Ortiz], it’s not really going to happen, I told my team, Matchroom, DAZN, ‘go get me Xander.
’ Go get me Xander or go get me somebody with the belts and that’s what they did. I’m glad they did that and I’m excited. I’m ready.
