“The fight was very easy. Each of you can go home and review it. Six weeks before the fight, I had an injury. I asked to cancel the fight. I was told that if I canceled the fight, they would take Shannon Briggs. It's simple math - take 1.8 million or be left with nothing. I decided: well, I will fight with one hand. If you saw the fight with Klitschko, I never hit with the right. Never!"

Recall that Klitschko defeated Johnson by unanimous decision.
