\u201cI\u2019m returning to my roots as a fighter and I have unfinished business in the world of combat sports,\u201d said Selmani in a quote for the media. \u201cI\u2019ve been watching Eddie Hall trying to pick a fight with a welterweight and that doesn\u2019t sit right with me. He thinks he is the big man coming in to fight sports, well why doesn\u2019t he take on someone who can actually knock him out\u2026someone like me. This is a message for Eddie Hall, I challenge you to fist fight on any Misfits boxing card. I need to remind & teach everyone that I am the world\u2019s most dangerous professional wrestler.\u201d<\/p>\n
