"I knew I was going to fight in Manchester and I was just waiting for an opponent. I was told that Colby Covington was having some problems, I honestly didn't understand exactly what they were, and then I was offered a fight with Ian Harry. I was like, 'Yeah, let's put this fight on the British card because it makes sense.' This guy likes to talk, and he was saying there's no way I'm beating Kevin Holland, and I did. Then he said he'd never accept a fight with me because I'm too low rated, and all of a sudden he agrees to a fight. There's basically no sense in what he's saying."
