"It’s great to win against such an opponent. Brian has been in the top 10 for a very, very long time. He is a seasoned gangster. I take my hat off to him. He gave me a tough fight, but I am glad that I managed to show that my striking is on another level. And I also showed that my spirit cannot be easily broken. Overall, I am happy," said the American.
