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.'

I was crying, but I didn't want to talk because, you know, like, your voice starts going a little bit chucky. My wife gets into the wardrobe and says, why are you crying? And I was like, Miguel just called me. Man United is coming for you.

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.

You should have seen me after the fight. I was like a big baby. I was crying in my hotel room like a big, big baby. I was like, oh my God, I was so close to shocking the world.

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.
