They probably say that because I mention Dmitry Bivol, I mention 'Zurdo' Ramirez. But in the end, I know what's at stake," he said. "I know he's a great boxer. I've been watching him for a long time. I knew a fight with Anthony Yarde was going to happen a long time ago. So, let them think what they want. Do you understand what I mean? They can say I'm underestimating him, but at the end of the day, the kind of work I'm doing proves otherwise," he added. Trainer Tunde Ajayi isn't very happy that the Mexican Monster is talking about his future plans without a fight against Yarde yet and thinks that The champion sees it as a formality.
