"I don't have people that I want to fight. I'm here and I'm gonna fight, even if it's at catchweight, or even, I can go up higher. Lower, I don't think, but higher I can. But, yeah, I'm here, man. I enjoy the journey, as I said."

Eersel isn't one to call names out, but he's also not going to ignore someone who calls him out:

"I don't throw names, but you say, George Jarvis, we will see. He called out my name. Maybe we'll do it," he said in the same interview.
"Yeah, I see him as a potential challenger. He's a good fighter, [he has] great style, a pressure fighter like me. So, I think it will be a good match. So, we will see who the organization has for me."
