You’ve let boxing down!
You lied to the fans and led them on. Used my name for clout not a fight.
Bring me any championship fighter who can handle their business correctly.

If there was an arbitration going on, why announce to the world we are fighting! The fight was signed! UNDISPUTED 💥
Bare knuckle? You’re a good kid, don’t play with me Luke!
I’ll slap your bald head & you’ll do nothing! Waste man. https://t.co/d9PLjAesj6

You’re not about that bare knuckle life.
A barrier held you back, not even a bouncer! 🤣 https://t.co/LI6973nrK2 pic.twitter.com/HvTC4HcOcS
