“Lewis wants to fight me and this is a good fight for me. Who else would be my opponent? He is just below me in the rankings and is very easy to beat. Lewis is one of the few fighters available. There is no one else worth fighting for. I'm not going to face a fighter well below me in the rankings. There is no one else for him to fight either. Unless he wants to face fighters below him in the rankings. I’m the only one worth it to him right now,” Blaydes said.

As rivals often exchange barbs on social media, 'Razor' took the opportunity to provoke disaffection and believes that the victory will give him more baggage for the future.

“The challenge almost two years ago, eventually I knew this would happen. He only hid for so long. I like to fight and stay active. Every fight is an opportunity for me to gain experience. The more experience I gain, the better I become”, he concluded.

The experience mentioned by Curtis blaydes It's due to his young age (29 years old) by heavyweight standards. The athlete won his last four fights, including knocking out Junior 'Cigano', and suffered only two defeats in his career, both to Francis Ngannou.
