“Well, the only thing that is now obligatory is that I get the title of world champion. After I became the world champion, it is always more to achieve, but I would say that my name is now solidified in sport – not only I became a silver Olympic medalist, but now I am the world champion. And you must respect these two things you can’t take. This is definitely the conversation we conduct, he wins me the title of world champion.
“I imagine that Lomachenko is probably fighting again and then retiring. I hope he will choose me to fight. Whoever chooses, I am almost sure that he is retiring.

“The ball is in their court. We are waiting for them. We have already sent a contract, we have already sent Kid Austin a contract. The KID Austin promoter said: “We don’t want to play Keyshawn.” I don’t go here fucking, I lie to you. The Kid Austin promoter said they didn’t want to entertain me. I have already lived with Eddie Hearn and told Eddie Hearn to start a fight. I don’t know what more, because I do.
“I have already tried to fight these guys when I still had a common place. Now I am the main event. I can now fight him as the main event. If I send him a contract, are they going to sign it?
