“I train all day, it starts at 11am and I might be done by 5pm. I have the strength and conditioning, the boxing, the sparring, it's an all-day process.

“You don't have any time for family or friends, it's tricky. With the fight with Roy, when I started training I said: ‘This is the reason why I quit fighting, the pain’.

“This fight is not going to change my lifestyle financially. I'm a fighter, I feel good and i feel like I can beat this guy.”
