"Jonathan Di Bella’s strengths are quick footwork plus his fast and accurate punches. He also has dangerous knee strikes. But on the other hand, he has many weaknesses – but let’s find out in the ring. I’m not worried about his speed at all because I am confident in my speed, as well. So, this fight will be decided by who has more fight IQ."
