He has a goal and a dream to be the best in the world…and after connecting with him I have no doubt that he will succeed. In this conversation, we talk about his viral post-fight speech that included a smattering of words that earned him a telling off from his family in Adelaide. His backstory which helped build the man he is today- things like the grief of losing close friends, going to visit his father in jail, being stabbed, finding himself homeless and some brutal mental health battles that almost cost him his life.
