Can you tell me more about that?

Yeah, this was 2006, 2007.

Um, when I look back, difficult period in my life.

I had a couple difficult periods, which you really have to dig deep and you have to figure out, what am I doing? Why am I doing it? And you, and, and you're gonna reach a low point.

Um, at this moment my go, my mother got, um, diagnosed cancer.

They also said it's the worst kind.

She's not gonna have long, uh, uh, to live.

When was the last time you cried?

Do you want to get back into fighting?

So initially, let's start from the beginning.

I retired because I was injured.

Injury took me out of the sport.

And I kind of was also fed up of being injured, right? Because I initially tried to kind of make a comeback initially.

to not get her to heal as i always did but like every after like every three days of being healed i would kind of fall back in being hurt again like so three days on three days off and i kind of got fed up so um yeah and i just like you know this is it i had the great run 25 years active fighting Huge career, man.

Huge.

Is that the million dollars that goes to you, or is that before tax, before it goes to your management, before you have to pay your corner? Is it all whittled down a lot more than that?

As far as, uh, you being in Egypt this weekend for this fight, are you just there as a spectator? Are you an invited guest? What is your position, your role over there?

I'm actually an analyst, because, uh, Rico is now venturing in the boxing world.

Very exciting for this matchup, first of all.

Uh, but of course, the world doesn't know Rico.

So I, of course, was scheduled to fight him on two or three occasions, so I'm there to, uh, give some backstory on Rico.

What is he about? Where does he come from? What is his resume? The boxing world doesn't know him, and, um, as you know, there's mention of a mismatch here.

Um, I think personally, it is a beautiful match.

Do you, you, you say it's beautiful because you love the fact that he's getting this opportunity, and Usyk's kind of testing himself? Or is there something intriguing about the fight itself that makes you call it that?
