That's what we are, hunter-gatherers from back in the day, you know, so that's what I want to do and boxing's that way, so...

that's the mindset I've got, you know what I mean, it's, yeah, I've just, like I said, programmed to be like that, that's just how I am, you know, and I've turned those bad situations into motivation in a way, you know, so, when the going gets tough, like in the sixth round of the Mateus fight, you know, it's,

You're going to face that.

But I've been hit with things harder outside the boxing ring that have, look, in a way, I guess, just readied me for this.

You know what I mean?

It's readied me for these hard adversities that I'm going to face and still to face.

It's just life.

Nothing good comes easy, you know.

And we're from, we grew up in the working class and my old boy and old girl said, you want something, you got to work for it.

And yeah, that's what I'm about.

i'm a proud aussie i love it you know what i mean and to uh be able to make the dream reality a second time on home soil it's going to be more special to me you know um people say well it's your first world title yeah but i wanted abroad you know like we didn't really celebrate until we got on the plane to be able to do it in australia in front of the australian public and on home soil that's what dreams are made of and i'm getting tingles talking about it because we're 15 days out from making that a reality and

Yeah, it's crazy.

I'm so ready.

Yeah, I do remember that.

Were you there?

I was there.

I was there.

Oh, really?

Yeah, because I was the main sparring partner for Horn.
