Speaking to the Leader the fighter said that he is well prepared and he goes into the clash in confident mood. “The training has gone exceptionally well, Ive just had my last sparring session and Im now looking forward to getting in the ring and showing Feuzeu that it’s not only the major cities that can provide world champions.
