“I’m not being disrespectful to him, but I wouldn’t be surprised by any fight that he loses now because I just think he’s a very beatable fighter now.

“If Tyson comes through Dec 3, he’s gonna fight Oleksandr Usyk and after that he may wind up fighting Joe Joyce…

“It’s not our fault or Tyson’s fault this fight did not happen, it’s not our fault, 100 per cent.”
