I'm speaking to who is this? Yeah, it's me, son. Let's do this. Let's do this together. Where are you? I said, I'm at my hotel. He said, all right, well, I'll come to your hotel. We'll speak. And yeah, let's do it. Okay. Okay, dad. I ordered him an Uber 20 minutes later. He was at my hotel. I got him a room. We went up to the room. We sat down. You know, he said, I was always going to come.

I was always going to be there for you. And in my mind, I'm thinking, if I had just gone to sleep, what happens? Would you still be here? Like, what? you know, we haven't had any communication and I know, I knew how hard it was for him to send me that text of, you know, call me when you see this, because he doesn't do that. You know, it's been years since he tried to have that contact with me.

So I think if I just ignored it, then we wouldn't be sitting here today talking about this amazing event that had unfolded because make no mistake, him being there made it, It made it different. It made it something that will now go down in history. You know, movies are made about this type of stuff. If I go in there alone, it's just a fight. It would have been a great fight still.

anger in my heart that's that's what i thought that fight was going to be what it turned out to be was i'm walking to the ring my old man is behind me he's with me and you know for the first time in my whole career i'm walking through a crowd And there's no booze.

And I feed off of that dark energy and I use it against my opponents. That's what I've been. That's been my life for my whole career, really. In this fight, I'm walking past people and I'm seeing tears in their eyes. I'm seeing grown men with tears in their eyes and smiles and, you know, God rest.

And it's like, you know, I'm walking to the ring and my face is always cold because I'm about to get in the ring and hurt somebody and get hurt. But in my mind, in my heart, I'm like, what's happening? What is this? This is... I've never seen this before. I've never seen cheers, let alone people crying with joy. This is, you know, this is going to be different.

This fight is about to be something different. I don't know what it's going to be, but... I'm excited. What did you discuss in that hotel room when he arrived in that Uber? He said to me in that hotel room, what do you think I want from you? I thought about it for a long time and I genuinely couldn't answer the question. You know, we have been estranged for a long, long time.
