I have been working hard and I have been ready to fight yesterday."

One bad night will not define his career and I believe we have not yet seen the best from him. It says a lot about him as he fought 21 fights in just 29 months, and then steps in with a guy who took the fight on short notice that nobody wanted to fight and nobody still wants to fight in Khurtsidze. We have a plan for him to get him back knocking on the door of a world title and we look forward to moving him back in position."
