“I am not able to tell you what they are at the moment, but what I can confirm is that we will be flying to Russia on Monday. I am not disappointed at all even though I would have loved to settle a few days before the fight.
“I am still full of confidence because of the way I had prepared myself and that is why I am ready to bring the title home. Like I said in an interview with you last week, I am full of hope because I gave it my all in the gym,” He said.
