I’ve put that out there countless times. I’m not the issue here, if the man wanted to fight we’d have a rescheduled date by now, but the balls in his court, I’m ready to fight whenever.”

Tommy also claimed that he is still the “biggest” fight for Jake at the moment as he’s got “nobody else” to take on. “This fight is the biggest fight for him to take at the minute and he knows that full well,” he added.
