"He's definitely in the top five heavyweights. He's the No.1-ranked WBC contender. Like everybody knows, he's been the mandatory challenger for like 147 years. So yeah, he deserves his shot, he's getting his shot at the title and that's it not so much more that we can say. Dillian's definitely a top five heavyweight and if he beats me he'll be ranked number one, so all to play for."
