A lot of people like, you know, they want to talk about [music] legacies and all this sort of stuff.

Having a family and doing [music] it for my family trumps all that. I don't really care about all that. Yeah, the legacy and all that is You know, when people bring that up, it's like, "Yeah, I want to leave a legacy." Because I'm not leaving a legacy or doing what I want to do to make the

money, be successful so I can look after my family, >> [music] >> um set a good example for them and all that sort of stuff. Do what I'm doing uh to just put us in a better position. Doing it for my family, yeah, trumps it all.

>> [screaming]

[cheering]

>> I got better ideas. >> Yeah, I can definitely stop it there. >> been on for already? >> Yeah. >> How's that looking? >> Looks pretty good. >> More? >> Yeah, they say every man's dream. You know, maybe not every man, you know, some people might like the city life, but 90% of the world, I reckon you could say

it's a a dream, you know, it always was a a dream of mine or something I wanted to do.

Um I was always going to get a farm. I was thinking it would have to be somewhere inland, probably a lot cheaper. Uh you know, it Yeah, but it's something that I Yeah, know be more affordable and it could be maybe be something where I can go camp on holiday cuz I wouldn't be able to

obviously live out west or you know inland. Um I just wouldn't be too productive with what I do and you know me fighting and whatnot.

I'm not the type of father that's just going to be like, "All right, I'm over here, you know, make you know, massive ass training so I get to relax when I go home." I'm not like that. I'm going to go there. I'm going to help out around the house. I'm going to help out

with the kids. [music] So it can get it can get hard. I'm uh very limited to what I can pick at. But I got the venison schnitzel that I wanted them to try. I've had that um not that long ago. We've been uh making them. Big ass. Honestly. Beautiful, buttery, bacon jerky. >> Beautiful,

buttery, bacon jerky. Beautiful. >> Uh but at the same time even though it's so hard with uh the schedule that I've got it is so [music] easy to be motivated to know what you're doing it all for. >> What's happening? You You and Colby got a fight? >> Yeah, Colby uh training's going well

too. He's fighting the week after us. Uh Colby's obviously on that card. So um Yeah, I guess they're doing this first and then I'll do mine. >> Is it this Am I right to say this is your last fight? >> This is the last fight. It's the last fighter. We're going to do a mega rounder just

before you. Last fighter, though. But I've got my This is my This is my five rounder as well. So that's going to be fun. >> Um what are the feelings before you do a fight like this? Are you nervous? Are you excited? What's >> Um uh uh I don't like I don't get nervous but

like but quite sad but I mean I probably get a little nervous for this just knowing that it's weird. When I'm fighting it's like I don't know. I guess I'm trying to control it more with this one and you never know what's going to happen in a fight. In a fight you could win it like that. It could you

know, it might not be a tough fight. This is guaranteed going to get you to breaking point, you know what I mean? So, the worst type of pain is like fatigue, right? Like that like that type of fatigue where you're like pushing through absolute fatigue. Your body can't move. There's no pain like

that. Trying to mentally and physically push yourself through that it's like no no pain really. I don't know. I That's what I believe in. I reckon it's one of the tough toughest [ __ ] [music] things you can do uh when you get to that point and we know we have to get to that breaking

point. That's what this one's all about. You're going to get to a point where your legs feel like they can't move. Your arms can't move and you've still got so much more explosive things to do and then you just somehow get through it. But you're literally like in your head like oh [ __ ] like you know what I mean?

Like So, you know you're getting to that point every time. So, that's why I get a little more nervous for for this. Fights might not get you there. Most of the time they never get you there. That's why you've seen me in tough fights, five round fights and I'm I'm in the corner chilling. Not chilling, but

you can see I'm good. I'm not uh I'm not freaking out. I'm not like You know what I mean? It's just I'm all good.

>> Specific. Nothing changes, mate. Same thing. Remember so I don't want to Back of the heads are right now, isn't it? >> No, mate. >> All good, mate. >> I don't want to say anything. You're getting out of it. >> You get a clean get out of it. >> But if something happens, I'm going to

speak. Okay? If you hear me speaking, don't stop. Cuz it's just an instruction if there's a bigger problem. >> I guess I've rather got you know, I've got that the love is always it's [music] been incredible, you know what I mean? It really has and I'm blessed. I'm very very happy to be

where I am with that. And I you know I I really did notice after winning the title against Lopez that I I really don't care about the the belt and [music] stuff like that. You know what I mean? Like it's it's hard to explain. Like me accomplishing that at that age, coming off KO losses and

all that, that was massive. I'm glad I was able to overcome that and send good messages like that. [music] But the belt, I was quite I was quite disappointed afterwards cuz [music] I thought now that I've I'm so much more confident in who I am. I was even talking about it leading up to that

fight. I was even saying that I can't wait to win this and then be [music] able to finally appreciate being champion. >> [applause] [applause] >> And then it was I come to realize that I did not care one [music] bit. So I was a little disappointed that I was like almost yeah, I was disappointed that I

was disappointed if that makes sense. It was weird. It was like but then sort of being like, well, at least I know I don't really care about it. I don't [music] need any of that.

Okay, you know a lot of people are going, oh, is he going to lose that drive? Now he's there and as he cuz he doesn't care. I get they're going to think, oh, he doesn't care. He's going to lose that drive. But I'm not that guy. You know what I mean? Like if I'm you know, if I if I'm going to

take a fight I'm going to train harder than anyone. Even if these guys think they want it more than me, I guarantee I'm working harder than them. That's just who I am and that's if I do it, I do it [music] properly. And that's just how it is. I'll do whatever it takes.

Um you know, if so it's just that's just who I am. So that's something that I guess I'm I'm I'm like I'm lucky to be that guy. Yeah, you're going to see that, but trust me. I'm uh always putting that work in. So, there's something that you don't even ever need to really worry about that.

People are going to keep bringing up the age and all that sort of stuff. And I'll be honest, what am I the same guy as that I was at 33 years old or, you know, 32 years old? No, no, I'm not. You know what I mean? But, um when you've got the IQ that I have,

the experience, you know what I mean? Like uh I can go out there and and do that and make people [music] think that I'm still the the same guy that I was. So, I mean, I truly do believe that. I think I can still go out there and >> [snorts] >> make it look like that I'm still that

same guy. I really do. I think uh It's like a lot of people are going to go, "I'm prime. Am I in my prime?" No, I'm not in my prime. But, do I believe I'm still the best uh in the world? Yes. And [music] I think uh I'm going to show that again.

Like uh >> [music] >> I still feel I still feel fast out there. I still feel fast. I still feel strong. And then put the experience on top of that and the IQ, I think I'm just [music] going to be too much for these guys. Train hard. Train hard. Get ready. You know, the thing is, it's pretty easy uh

for me because every my last, well, how many fights? 11 fights? [music] 10, 11 fights? Or is this going to be 11 or 12? Title fights, five-round fights. Like, five-round camps. Um especially if you train like we do. I can't remember [music] doing my first uh title fight, first five-round camp. I'm like, "Far out, this is next level."

You know what I mean? So, then uh to have to do like uh what, more? Cuz there was times where I was going to back up fights and then [music] the fight wouldn't happen, so I was still doing the camps. So, I've done like 13, 14 camps [music] of um Yeah, like five-round

camps. So, the preparation like we've got it down pat now. So, like you know I've got a standard that I need to keep even at 37. I've still got a standard. Like you know it's uh it's going to be tough, but you you need to get through these rounds. You need to get yourself ready.

We need to be in the best physical and mental uh state as possible going into into the fight. As Joe always said, we you know you want to be fit that you want one you know [music] that's one less thing you need to worry about. We're going in to fight somebody. We've got a lot of things we need to worry

about. We've got a guy trying to knock our head off. You know there's so many things that can go wrong in there. Um but knowing that you don't have to worry about getting tired and [music] don't have to worry about that cardio. Yeah, you're going to get tired, but I guarantee they're getting more tired.

You know what I mean? So, [music] it's a one less thing you have to worry about. So, that's always a main priority. But then having the right strategies around it. But like I said, [music] having the team that we have around us everyone know what we're on the same page and know what we need to do and

working a game plan strategy and and then making sure that we're fit enough. It's [music] It's all the same. A lot of times it's the same, but a couple of little changes strategy-wise. My plans are to go out there and not take too much damage, really set a statement um and show these guys a fighter with an

undefeated prospect sounds good to me.
