Den forne tungviktsmästaren Cain Velasquez kommer inte fortsätta tävla om han inte håller den höga nivå han gjort tidigare i karriären.
Till Yahoo Sports säger han följande.
The reason I do this is to be the No. 1 guy. And if I’m not as competitive as I was before, then I’m not doing it. But I also believe that I am that same guy. I’ve improved a lot and right now, I feel stronger than ever, stronger than in the past. Obviously in that fight against Travis Browne, I am stronger than that. My body feels better than I did then with the time off I’ve taken.

He’s got more to give, – säger Daniel Cormier. We’ve never seen a heavyweight with that type of movement, cardio and desire to compete and win. Every movement is effortless. [He’s] just a perfect machine built for fighting.
When I had the injury, it was something that was extremely hard to deal with, to live with, -Velasquez. I wasn’t sure what was going to happen. When it was at its worst, it was bad. It’s something I’d say was the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through physically.
Velasquez möter Francis Ngannou nu i helgen och det är den första matchen sedan vinsten mot Travis Browne, 2016.
