I feel confident in winning this fight as does everybody in my training circle. After researching Schwerin, I am excited to compete in such a beautiful and historic city.
“Juergen has done it all, seen it all, but he hasn’t fought me. I am very confident that I will win ໃນວັນສຸກ. I have to be sharp mentally, but I feel in better shape than ever in every way. I know it’s a cliché to say that, ແຕ່ ໃນວັນສຸກ the crowd and the world will see what I am talking about.”
