It’s still unclear who, exactly, Aleister Black is hoping to fight at the end of his one-man crusade. Until then, he’s emphatically winning all of his other fights. This week, Black disposed of Akira Tozawa in a short, nasty battle of strikers before offering a warning to anyone who might take him up on his against-all-comers mentality.
After Black showed appreciation to the audience for their desire to rebel against a “given idea of paradise” — something he said he understood — he claimed he was beginning to feel like an animal inside of a cage. And, for anyone looking to dance, they should consider themselves warned. “Know that it is not me who is in there with you,” Black said. “It is you who shall be trapped inside this metaphoric cage with me.”
