in my hometown.”

“The last time I fought in the U.K., there was a lot of adrenaline. (This time), there was a point about a minute into the first round where I heard the crowd chanting my name, and I kind of felt that I wanted to trade punches and start going nuts. So I
stepped back and kind of bounced around a little bit,” he added.
