Bruno Fernandes was in his wardrobe getting ready for bed when his agent called to say Manchester United wanted him. He started crying and couldn't speak. His wife walked in, found him in tears, and said: 'This is what you've been waiting for.' He called back and said: 'Just tell them I'm going.'

When you look back, this is the day your dream comes true. So it's probably professional wise, this was the cherry on top of the cake because this is where I wanted to be.

It's either incompetence or corruption. And I tend to think corruption. These guys want to keep judging fights and they want the favor of the promoters, and the money is in Usyk.

They don't want a guy coming in from a different sport and one professional boxing match making the biggest upset in boxing history. That would be pretty crazy.

If somebody is a southpaw, why would you stay right in front of them? You cannot move to the right because you're walking straight into a left hand. So why is nobody moving to the left? Because then as soon as you move to the left, you're walking away from that strong arm.

I think I'm in the fall of— or maybe in the winter of my career as an athlete, and I just want to do big fights that make sense.

That's one of the biggest fights in heavyweight boxing right now. If not the biggest. Other than Tyson Fury versus Anthony Joshua, the rematch is the fight.
