I said, well, I don't think AJ will do it.
I said, because we haven't done a deal.
And I don't think he's going to get in a ring to announce a fight that's not signed.
Because we've been here before.
I said, but look, let me speak to him during the fight, see how he's feeling.
Once he relaxes a little bit, you know, blah, blah, blah.
So sixth round of the Fury-McMurdoff fight, you know, one of Turkey's guys comes over and says, right, we're going to get in the ring after.
Under a bit of pressure here, mate, to be honest with you.
I said, they want you to get in the ring and face off with Fury.
I said, well, it's just, you know, the pantomime, isn't it?
It's like, they're going to announce the fight.
The fight's not done.
I said, I don't want the public thinking the fight's done.
Then it falls apart and it's like my fault I've announced the fight.
And he was 100% right, by the way.
