‘King Arthur’ said, “I wasn’t hurt. The body shot is what hurt me.”

He added, “I am not lying when I am saying this s****. The punch knocked me off balance because I came when I was screwed up. I came square one as he hit me with the right hand. So not enough ones a bit, I didn’t feel (anything).”
