We have had a good relationship since 2020. If you (Menery) want to go into the fact that you think you can kick my a**, then you are out of your mind. That's pretty much what it comes down to. Listen, Menery, you are a Boston boy, you may be tough, but you are going to get f****** hurt."Bob Menery: "I love you, brother. But I have got a screw loose in my head. That's the difference. And when that screw gets loose... it's game over. So, I feel very confident. I am 38 years old now. I am an old man. Being a massive underdog is such a great f****** feeling."Choose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.‌Boxing
