I said, well, I don't think AJ will do it.
I said, because we haven't done a deal.

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.

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.
