‘The Real Deal’ said, “I’M BACK! I am the undisputed featherweight champion because Heather Hardy agreed to fight me in 2019 for her WBO title. That was the first step in my current run at featherweight. It’s only right that I give her the opportunity to earn it back. This will be the first time I get to fight in Texas, and I promise the fans that they will not be disappointed.“
