Lovell recently appeared for an interview with TalkSport MMA. While speaking to the host Kweku Afari, he shared the next big fights coming up for ‘Rocky. Lovell said, “Because he wasn’t on the 300 bill, no doubt there’s a big Muslim contingency in England in Manchester. So I think it will be Belal. It’s not written in stone, but 99.9 percent. I think it will be Belal.”
