After accepting the ‘Fight of the Year Award’, the Briton said, “I’m absolutely ecstatic and overwhelmed to be recognized by Ring Magazine yet again.”

“It was a great fight but not so great for me and Deontay because fights like that knock years off your life, but it was an epic battle and a great trilogy. It was definitely all worth it,” he added (h/t Sky Sports)
