What happened: Johnny Walker spoke publicly about a strained dynamic with his brother Valter, citing past online remarks directed at his family. Walker said the tension originated after a bout in China and caused emotional hurt to his mother and wife.

What to watch: Walker awaits his next heavyweight assignment following his headlining victory in Las Vegas.
