McCann on his return
McCann said: "I'm grateful for the opportunity. I didn't even really want to fight. I was just chilling on holiday with my bird and Mams rang me and said, 'Look, these can't sell no tickets, they need you'. I'm going to step in and take over. I'm glad they give me an easy fight. I keep getting beat up now. No disrespect when I said that either, but I keep getting beat up, so it's about right. I've just chilling basically. I was on holiday just eating steaks and drinking lager. Obviously I'm heavyweight so it doesn't really matter about the weight and I've never really dieted in my life."
