On his matchup with Pola:

“Bruno Pola is no one to take lightly because he has tremendous punching power. He’s experienced and comes to fight. He’s the type of opponent I want, because I know he’s going to text me. I’m ready to show I belong at this level and prove I can handle anything he brings in the ring.”

On fighting on the global stage on DAZN:

“This is a huge opportunity for me. To fight on DAZN, where fans from all over the world can watch, motivates me to deliver a statement performance. It’s a dream come true, but I’m just getting started. I’m going to bring excitement to everyone watching.”
