“The Irish title, the European title, WBO intercontinental, WBO international, WBO super, WBA super, IBF, IBO, Ring Magazine, lineal, WBC, WBC global.
“I’ve won every belt there is to win.
“There isn’t nothing more I can do. I’ve won every belt in the game.
“If this was a computer game it would definitely be completed, that’s for sure.”

“Because by the end of the year, to know exactly [where I stand], we’re going to sort it and get settled and ready to go.”
He added: “Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou in Africa, that would be the best one. The Rumble in the Jungle 2!”
Fury’s American promoter Bob Arum is confident of making the crossover clash.
He told boxing reporter Lance Pugmire: “I don’t know what this guy’s contract situation is with the UFC.
“Obviously, it’s a massive fight and it should be easy to make since both Tyson and [Ngannou] are with ESPN.”

“Like never before seen in the history of our sport. We’re not talking about two light guys who are 140lbs.
“I’m 270, he’s 270lbs. So it’s going to be an explosive fight when it happens.”
Ngannou, who is out of contract with the UFC in December, added: “It’s going to be a hybrid with different type of rules.
“MMA gloves in the ring kind of mixed up. Mixed up [and] a little different.”
