It has been pretty life-changing since I fought on the Jake Paul card, you know, and then the signings from there and what goes.

But that's from how old was I then?

About 20...

I don't know, maybe four or five years ago, you know, but that's that 1% that makes life-changing money to be able to set yourself up.

But people say, they know what gets to me when people call you lucky, but they didn't see the kid from 12 years old.

Yeah.

That went right through with nothing.

I was living in my car at one stage just to make it work, you know, and...

But it's not luck.

You know, I knew I was going to do it.

They come from a place of, they don't want to see their kids struggling, you know, when obviously at that time an apprenticeship was...

Kind of a way out, you know what I mean?

It's setting yourself up for life.

So they just don't want to see you in a bad position and kind of, I guess, be like, I agreed to that in a way, you know what I mean?
