SunSport asked him: "I believe they should seperate that type of entertainment so everyone knows it's just exhibitions."
"It is a shame that these two brothers are running up to and disrespecting boxers who really worked hard.
"You know what? There is no one in the top ten currently ranking that these brothers fight, those brothers know exactly what they're doing, they're trying get top guys on TV, who are not in their peak boxers.
"But most people know they won't win against a top ten real boxer. Mike Tyson will take him out.
Mike is going to kill him. Mike is going to kill him. Mike may not hurt him, but Mike might play with him.
"So it's really not serious stuff. This stuff was allowed by the commission."

Both the social media sensation and his brother stepped out of their previous professions to attend boxing exhibitions in 2018.
Jake, now 24, is now 4-0. He will be fighting Tyson Fury's younger brother, Tommy Fury, 32.
It will be his first opponent who has had professional boxing experience.
He beat YouTuber "AnEsonGib", ex-NBA player Nate Robinison (37), Ben Askren (37), and Tyron Woodley (39), both of which were formerly part of the UFC.
Logan, 26, lost his pro debut in 2019 to KSI, an online opponent. This was a year after their white collar bout.
In June, he was back in an extraordinary show with Floyd Mayweather, 44. It ended without a winner, but it did the distance.
Witherspoon, who twice won the heavyweight title, took aim at Logan and Jake's boxing records as well as their opponents up to now.
He stated that the Paul brothers should fight the top ten guys, and the Logans will not even win.
"They are conning the boxing community and public, and it's a shame.
"These brothers cannot beat top boxers in a real fight.
"So, they are misleading a lot the boxing community. They're not real fighters."
