Ian Gary raised his tone. The fighter provoked the former welterweight champion (up to 77kg.) Belal Muhammad | accusing him of 'running away' from the confrontation with the Irishman.

"Belal Muhammad | keep calling Kamaru Usman. Kamaru Usman said he won't fight anytime soon. So why does he keep calling? Because he's avoiding me. He started mentioning the name of Sean brady again, a man he already knocked out. Imagine calling someone you already knocked out.”, he said Ian Gary in a video published on social media.
“Here’s the truth. If Belal had won (Jack Della Maddalena), he would be fighting me in his hometown of Chicago. So do the right thing. Don't let your hometown down and take the fight in Chicago. See you soon,” Garry said.
