"Mike Tyson now you will fight Jake Paul. He faced Roy Jones too. There you have it: he's an older guy. When he fought Roy Jones Jr, something that stuck with me was that he was asked about Roy Jones Jr, also an old guy, retired for so long, why? Recalibrate your competition. There's a reason why in jiu-jitsu tournaments there is a veterans division. So, I don't feel like I can ever call it a day (my career) until I'm lying flat. In a coffin, going to the ground, that's when I'll call it quits. It's until death. It’s to the point of f***ing death,” said Conor.
