Ferguson Jr said: “It is definitely an honour [to carry on father’s legacy], but I have always wanted to fight my whole life and it’s something I have dreamed of doing.
“So, It is not really a burden, I accept it and that’s something I will have to do.
“It’s not hard for me to do it, it’s not like I am trying to do it. I love it, this is my passion.
