I think I’ve been around a lot of people and a lot of fighters that I’ve seen go through problems and I have never been wrong when I have thought ‘this person has a problem here’. “I don’t think they mind me talking about it because it’s a valuable lesson, one with Scott Fitzgerald and one with Ammo (Austin) Williams, who fortunately overcame the situation and did brilliantly well,” he said.

Forget the fight, I hope he makes the fight, but he really needs to get into training camp. He worries me about the people he has around him, it is not even my responsibility, but what I have seen in the last few days and obviously what happened last night is erratic behavior and erratic behavior arises from something,” he added.
