Then you called for fights rather, let’s go fight in the ring, but I gave the answer. If you look back 11 years later, it’s f*in funny.”

Of course, I was somehow angry with you. You crossed Zenta. you crossed her. It wasn’t that I went to potential investors. It was that people told me that I would give half the money. I think my weight was 69 kilograms, but maybe I could get down to 50 (laughs).”
