Did you ever think you'd meet your soul mate in the comments of a live stream? Neither did I...
Tonight, was supposed to be the biggest fight of my career. It shattered paid viewing pre-sale records in minutes. The Fight of the Decade, or so the media said. As the current heavyweight champion, it was my job to defend my title against the new blood. This kid got a spot in the organization because he has eight-million followers on social media. Cool.
