He said: “I believe it’s missing some ingredients. We’re still going to get him his meal; it’s very important. It’s fight week, I know he’s going to be hungry.
“It looks good, right? .I’m going to add some flavour to his food.
“He probably won’t even notice. He’s from Russia, they don’t have any soul food over there.”
