He took the example of one of the greatest matches in history, ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ to give a better sense of the scene. In an interview with ES News, the reporter asked, “Any update on Tank vs. Ryan fight?”

In response, Hopkins said, “The negotiations of that fight is like Ali vs. Foreman. Rumble in the jungle. Sayin’ Ali and Foreman.” He also added, “Certain time in boxing life, you know that always have, one of the biggest lies they never be promoted or heard about.”
