    He accused opponent Canelo Alvarez of being a long-term 'drug cheat' protected by corrupt boxing officials.
    Many believe his fight with Alvarez was called a draw because the judges wanted a rematch to recoup potential lost revenue.
    He told TMZ he would be open to fighting 'both' Conor McGregor and Khabib in an MMA-boxing match.

    He is humble and soft-spoken.
    He speaks four languages (Kazakh, Russian, German and English) and is part-Korean.
