“There have been a lot of people that have turned down fights with me, but Jack is a warrior, he doesn’t care who it is, where it is or when it is.
“He took it to me [tonight]. Most people, they just back away, they fold under pressure, but he took it to me, he went for his shots like he said he was going to do. He was strong and it was just an honour to in here.
