“It’s a big challenge for me. I’m up for it and I’m excited for it, but after feeling my body in that five-round camp, realized I need to take my time in this camp because that’s the hard part. The fight itself is literally the easy part. That’s the fun part for me. That’s why I come out smiling. I’m loving life on that night of fighting.”

“I believe I’m me right now,” he contended. “I have no question in my mind. I believe I am who I always was. You’re going to see it, September 27th. I’m going to be me. Just who you’ve always seen.”
