Your last match showed that you are able to win with a knockout.
You know, I never enter boxing ring to win with a knockout. Victory is of primary importance for me. Every time I enter the ring with the wish of having a victory. If I manage a knockout, the better.
You talked about victory and you are already 35. Have you ever thought about leaving the boxing ring?
You’ll see me two more years and then I will quit.
