The Portuguese dismisses the irrelevant question by merely responding, "Next question" while shaking his head.

The video was then followed up by combat footage of the two boxers training ahead of their fight this month.

After months of online conflict, the heavyweight match between boxing and the UFC is getting closer and closer.
