BRAVADO OPTIONAL

-

QWhy do you think boxers feel the need to have that bravado in order to be successful?

AI’m not sure they do. Jeff Horn (above) certainly doesn’t have that bravado. I don’t think he’s ever said a swear word in his life. He’s just such a clean-cut, polite gentleman. It doesn’t suit him. He’s just that type of dude. He fought his way into a fight against Manny Pac and beat him. I thought Manny was going to school him and I was wrong.

QYou’ve turned 30. I’m guessing you don’t want to fight forever like George Foreman. How would you like to see the final phase of your career pan out?

AI want to get my shot, perform in that fight – hopefully win it, or put in a performanc­e that sets up more big fights. You want to fight the big fights and to put on a show. Winning is a bonus. I don’t go in there to lose but I just love fighting.
