He&#x27;s put all the pressure on him by calling himself the GOAT.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I don&#x27;t know what&#x27;s left for him after he gets beat by a footy player. He&#x27;s trying to plan fights in England at the moment, I know he&#x27;s talking to other ones, I know he&#x27;s got a Justis Huni fight planned or signed.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Once I beat him that&#x27;s going to take all the shine off that fight.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;That fight&#x27;s going to be irrelevant.
