Minikon stepped in to fight the former L.A. Laker at the last minute after the California boxing commission rejected rapper Blueface‘s application for a boxing license.
At issue was Blueface’s history of domestic violence involving his on-again, off-again girlfriend Chrisean Rock.
After the fight, Young said Minikon illegally headbutted him.
“I felt good, I hit him a lot, I felt I came and did what I had to do,” Young told Harry Davies of Mirror UK.
“He hit me with a cheap shot and that’s what you’ve got to do when you’re losing. I don’t want him getting a headbutt at the end and thinking he won off a headbutt. I don’t know how you can think he won.”
