Steve Bunce

Instead of him just being barefoot in the gym in Dubai?

You're talking like August or so last year.

I was with him and he said, I'm going to have two weeks to train with Usyk.

Have a look, you know.

So this is last summer?

Yeah, and he never came back.

So really, pretty much, other than the couple of months of rehab that he had from his injuries in January and February, he's pretty much been in that training camp.

So just went straight back?

Yeah.

And this is like, Buncey, he went with one suitcase to Valencia.

And this is what people don't really see or understand, that the sacrifice and the commitment, like when he's in that camp, when he's in that training camp, it ain't fun.

It's not full of like loads of his mates.

It's not, they don't party at the weekend.

They train three times a day.

And when I say train, that training camp is like nothing I've ever seen before in terms of the work that they put in.

And, you know, they're really, you know, they're flogging him like a dog in that camp.

And he's responded perfectly.

Yeah, but that's again, that's the status of the man.

And, you know, I always said, you know, after the crash,

The one thing, and this goes for all fighters when they're in dark times, the one thing that will always improve the mind of a fighter mentally is being in training camp.
