This fight with Tommy Fury doesn't make any sense. Who cares about that fight? Nobody'. I told my coaches that this fight wasn't going to happen. I told us to train as if we were going to fight. I brought him from Miami, my physical trainer was already here and we literally started training,” he said.

I feel blessed for the opportunity and I swear I didn't even hesitate. That son of a bitch can talk a lot of s***, but if you ask people, when they asked me the word 'yes' was the first word out of my mouth,” said Woodley.
