The first time I ever saw Luis Ortiz fight was here at this arena, and my dad told me that one day I was going to fight him. That’s going to help me get comfortable in this fight.

On September 4, we’ll go toe-to-toe and we’ll see who’s going to win. I’m not underestimating Luis Ortiz, because he comes to fight. “The main thing for me is going to be staying busy. He’s strong, he’s awkward, he’s a lefty, but we’ve had a long training camp and we’ll be ready. We wanted a tough opponent and that’s why we picked Luis Ortiz. We didn’t come here to cherry-pick anybody. “We’re here again and I’m thankful for another opportunity.
