"I have to thank God for the victory. Different fighters have different things that work for them and that's what works for me.

"I don't need to hear what happened in camp, I need to hear 'Josh it was written in the bible, I didn't say it it's written here'.

"When my soul touches the ring, I say this is mine. I'm grateful, man, big credit to Bolotniks he's a good champion."
