He still tried to cheat in our first fight. Failed two drugs tests. Never owned up to it. Denied it, denied it, denied it. No apologies, no admittance, no matting up. I can't forgive that. I can't respect that. I can't shake that hand until there is some accountability. He's not going to give it.

Bothered is an understatement. Really?

I don't hold grudges. I am a man that can forgive. Never forget, but I can forgive. But when it comes to something as serious as drug cheating in this sport, you saw what we had to go through. So if somebody's got something in their system which is going to make them fight harder, take more punishment, react quicker, you know, that is a form of attempted murder in my opinion.

You can be suicidal and devastated after getting caught doing something you shouldn't have done. You can still have that reaction. Let's say that he did unintentionally take these drugs. Somebody slipped something into his drink. Somebody contaminated his eggs. Somebody injected something into him when he was at a doctor's appointment.

I don't know however you want to fantasize this beautiful story. Let's say that this impossible thing has happened. As a fighter, as an athlete, You only have a few jobs that you have to do. You have to train hard. You have to go to sleep on time. You have to prepare. You have to make sure that your diet, your fluid intake is on point.

so that you have the energy to go into these fights and to these sporting events and be able to compete at the highest abilities you can. Aside from that, there's not much else we have to do as an athlete. It's your job to know exactly what you are putting into your body, whether it's food, whether it's fluid, whether it's drugs. You have to know. That's your job.

So if you're irresponsible enough to let somebody slip something by to where you fail not one, but two drugs tests, if you're irresponsible enough for that to happen, then you're still a cheat. Could you shake his hand now? I told you I didn't shake his hand after the fight. One, because he's never owned up to it. And two... You know, it's very likely that we are going to be fighting again.

People will always know. Benny, I remember that time you banged him with an egg. That will be with him for the rest of his life. And that's what he deserves for failing those drugs tests.

So many times, fighters, they fail drug tests, they serve a little ban, they pay a fine, they're back in the ring, and people kind of just forget. Can't he just get swept under? Oh, don't talk about that. Come on, you know, he's doing so well now. He served his time. No, no, no, no, no. This kid is not, he's not getting that. I'm going to put this egg across his chin.
