He has fought many prestigious fights that proved to be demanding on a physical and mental level. For me, it just proves that I face someone who will be the ultimate test for me.

This is my main weapon, so who knows? It will be a high-profile fight and I will be able to show myself to the Polish fans who will watch it. In my opinion, it’s a good matchup.
