Aussi, with his natural good looks has done a good deal of professional modeling (he’s modeled for Title in their catalogs) and even appeared in an Eminem video.

“I had a high-top fade haircut, I guess like Will Smith and then I got a commercial. Then I got the Eminem video. I also have modeled for a watch company and did a photo shoot for the movie “Southpaw”.” This is a good start for a life after boxing.”
“I believe that I am the next big thing out of Detroit. Actually I think I can be the next big thing in the United States. I have a good team with my managers, but I also want to thank my fans, family and friends.”
