"It's great to be back. I've never felt so much love for myself before. All week I've been saying, even before I went to the fight I said on camera that I promise my daughters I'll get the belt back, but now I think it's not about the belt. My message is that a lot of people wrote me off. Two losses, two knockouts, the curse of 35 years, long downtime, but I did it again. Did it against Diego Lopez, who came out and put on a great fight," Volkanovski said.
