“At the end of the day, I just fought the tallest man in the world in a boxing match. I would love to see someone else get the balls and do that.

“It’s been one hell of a journey; i enjoyed it and hopefully there will be a rematch and we can do business again.

“I want to wish everyone out there… stay safe, stay positive and keep moving forward in life.”
