Fatuma Zarika's coach and friends have explained what sets her apart from other boxers.
On his part, Bellew replied saying: “Why does someone’s colour matter? Who cares if you're white, black, yellow, or pink? All that matters is are they good or no good people!
Learn to see people for who they are and not what they look like! It’s because of people like you that racism still exists! Absolute maniac you are!”
Explaining his decision to enter the competition, Bellew said: “I’m going into the jungle because it’s a challenge and I love a challenge. I’m a serial winner, I hate to lose.
I’m not going to give in. I've faced many different things in my life and now the jungle is next, let’s see what you’ve got for me.”
