”The Nigerian Nightmare’ made the demand after having time to reflect on his defeat, which happened at the last minute when he was well up on the scorecards.
He told TMZ: “What else makes sense (other than trilogy)? Look at the division, what else makes sense? I talked to Dana and I’ll let him do his job, we’re going to see what date makes sense, probably top of next year.
“I was going to squeeze one in this year but it’s probably top of next year. I want to go to England. I feel like England is my second home. England is half Africa, people don’t know that. It’s time to go over there and entertain my English people, what better story,” he added.
