The media here know that there's the possibility that I can pull this off. I'm confident. Confidence comes with work. When you prepare yourself and you know you're going into combat with all of your bullets, you have the confidence to go into battle.

Anybody who thinks I'm taking this fight for a paycheck doesn't know me. My whole life I've been achieving the impossible.

There's always a chance you will see something new in a fight. Especially in boxing.

If I'm in a situation where Duane Ford is one of the judges, I have to pick it up.
