Talk to me about the difference in this training camp moving up to cruiserweight versus a camp at super middleweight or light heavyweight.

Have you tried to bulk up and add some strength at all?

Or are you worried about maybe doing that and having to move back down?

Or how do you balance that?

That's your signature, obviously, the blistering hand speed, the combinations, the volume, punching.

This guy, Zerto, he's a huge guy too, like you, but he's used to fighting the bigger, slower guys.

Do you think that plays into an advantage for you as well?

Did that give you confidence this camp to be like, okay, I can be like Roy Jones Jr.

and eventually challenge at heavyweight?

Yeah, I mean, obviously there's a couple savages down there.

One that, for one reason or another, the fight didn't get made, but another one you called out, Arterbetter and Dimitri Bivel.

How do you think that's all going to play out with you?

Beating Zerto.

I mean, all the hardcore guys, guys that are really in the sport, they call me and they're like, I don't know, he might have bit off more than he can chew with this one.

No, nobody else is calling out guys like that.

I mean, they're trying to get the biggest names for the most amount of money with the least challenge, right?

And that's the same pattern you see with all those guys, but not you.

And I think you've also learned, hey, these guys are going to avoid me.

I'm going to have to force my way in there.

Absolutely.
