You talk about division, anger—take it from an American—thе argument is what makes us who we are. Our empathy outweighs our anger. Let me ask you, Anthony. You didn’t come here to live ‘the England Dream.’ “You like to educate. You like to pontificate on what the United States is. In 2021, in the very same city, my wife will give birth to a beautiful white, a beautiful black American princess, shun neither, and I want her to know, I didn’t just lay down under another man’s flag. I got up off my ass and I fought back! And here’s where we’re going to do the fighting: at DOUBLE OR NOTHING.
- - It’ll be Anthony Ogogo versus myself but he will not be wrestling ‘The American Nightmare.’ For one night, it’ll be Anthony Ogogo versus ‘The American Dream’ Cody Rhodes!”
