I'm just kind of guessing dates from how old I was in pictures.

So my mother, she's a tough Eastern European woman with a very old school mentality.

I don't know what I'm allowed to say, but she's, I just think, you know, like, I don't want to be disrespectful to my mum now.

Can you like imagine, yeah?

Like, I don't want to like paint the wrong picture in your head, but like, you know, you ever watch the film Rocky?

And then you got like the Ivan Drago.

Like, imagine like my mom coming from that type of family, if that makes sense.

So she's tough.

Yeah.

And my father is a very, very, very proud Nigerian.

Really?

Very proud Nigerian.

Of course.

You know, even the mistakes that me and my family have made, we kind of wear them.

Even my mother, she sacrificed a lot for us to be in this position.

That was actually one of the main reasons why I kept going in boxing.

My mother sacrificed a lot.

She was very tough.

I mean, I'm moving.

If you saw that the house that my mom grew up in, in the villages of Slovakia, acres and acres and acres of land, obviously that my mother's side of her family, it wasn't that rich.
