Now, nearly a decade later, he’s solidifying his legacy with victories against prominent figures like Artur Beterbiev, who he defeated in their recent rematch.

After a hard-fought match against Beterbiev last weekend, many are now curious about his future, especially a potential trilogy with Beterbiev, and increasingly competitive matches with Alvarez and David Benavidez.
