“This fight can dicta✱te the course of my future in the fight game,” said Gotti.
“He’s 💫going to be met with bad intentions. After everything that happened last time, we’ll see who backs up first.

“I’m one of only two other fighters to have a rematch against Floyd. He’s one of the greatest fighters to ever lace up boxing gloves❀.
Being in the ring with someone of that calibre, the𓄧 challenge excites me. I’ve seen his best, he hasn’t seen mine.
"Last time, I was timid. He’ll see the real me on Auguꦇst 24, and I’m intrigued to see how he hanꦯdles that.
ꦛ“Fate gave me a second fight, and I’m making the most of it.”
