“Anthony Sims had 23 fights, one loss, with 21 knockouts, and he was deemed to be the next big thing,” Chelli recalled. “They even, like, already signed a two-fight deal with him for him to fight Liam Smith after me. But I derailed their plans, and once again, inshallah, I’ll derail their plans. I was ready for the 18th of April [to jump in on the Smith show], so I’m always in shape, always ready. Always ready to fight and bring a spectacular show.”
