Since then, he seems to have recovered and has gotten back to training. Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions shared video footage of the 23-year-old working out on the bars, in what appeared to be his back garden.

Warren has stated that they will be patient and handle the situation carefully. Moreover, getting into the ring with another top contender would be a massive risk.
