Former WWE and AEW Star Bobby Fish took to an episode of his Undisputed podcast, where he spoke about a variety of topics such as how he tried to get Tony Khan's permission to do a kick boxing fight, but he never got the chance to because the AEW CEO is a very busy man, though now it is no secret that he doesn't need anyone's permission anymore since he is a free agent.
Bobby Fish said:
“Truth be told, since May I have tried to get Tony Khan to sit down with me, no less than five times, to ask permission to do a kickboxing fight. It was actually something that I talked with other people in the company about, but I could never nail Tony down.”
“In Tony’s defense, he’s a busy man, especially on TV days. It is what it is, I wanted permission to do a fight, I couldn’t get there with Tony. Now, it’s no secret, I don’t need anyone’s permission at this point.”
