“June 5th is not only for myself but for my country – Australia and Greece, we will continue to shine on the world stage and be victorious,” he said back in April.

“I’ve got all these beautiful belts but that’s not what it’s about. It’s about my legacy, and for the love of the sport and the love of fighting.”
