The Gypsy King reinforced the fact that his beloved boxing fans would come to watch him regardless of the opponent. He stated, “I could have fought anybody on my homecoming and sold out Wembley.”
According to him, people will buy his tickets even in the strangest of conditions.
He continued, “I could have got me a shovel up and went to the local cemetery and breathed life back into somebody and sold him out of Wembley at 90 odd thousand people.”
