On his recent training camp:

On his matchup with Eros Correa:
“He is a good fighter, but I don’t think he has faced anyone like me before. I know how to use my length and distance, and have faced fighters from his area before so I have idea of what to expect for this fight.”
On fighting in the co-main event of Thompson Boxing’s New Blood event:
“I am thankful for Thompson Boxing in believing in me as a fighter and showcasing me on their cards. Thompson Boxing has had a lot of great fighters ascend to bigtime fights and I want to follow in their footsteps. They do a lot of shows in the L.A.-area, and they have helped my career a ton. I’m looking forward to putting on a great fight for the fans.
On what a win will do for his career:
“Hopefully I can continue to get spots on Thompson Boxing cards moving forward and build my career here in L.A. I am fighting undefeated fighters and I am looking to move fast, so a win here would show the world how talented I am, and that I am willing to fight the best.”
