I trained all the time, sparred be dia be, and did as much as I could do in the gym. I still had a contract until it expired. I’ve known Kevin for 2-3 taona. He asked me why I wasn’t fighting and I told him everything. He said to call him when my contract expired because he wanted to manage me and that’s what I did.
“Amerika manome ahy fahafahana tsara, tsara kokoa noho Angletera na Irlandy, and I’m going to finish my boxing career here. I’m fighting December 5faha- and taking things step by step.

He called to tell me his contract had expired and we worked out a deal that brought him here to live in New York.
“I honestly don’t see any rust watching him spar. I know sparring isn’t fighting but everybody in the gym stops to watch him workout. Amim-pahatsorana aho mihevitra fa, indray mandeha tsara izy, manana ady eo ambany fehikibo, tiany hahatongavana ho ambony ka hiady ao amin'ny mazava lanja mavesatra fisarahana.
