00:00 Jake, congratulations from someone from the UK.
00:03 Did you think that because your opponent
00:05 had had five knockout victories,
00:08 that this was a risk for you taking this sort of fight?
00:11 - Yeah, for sure, for sure.
00:13 Like, big risk, big risk.
00:15 People can just try to understand what they want,
00:17 but they didn't get in there with him.
00:19 He'd been doing it his whole life.
00:22 And you look at the guy, he's strong,
00:26 he's a tag team, super athletic,
00:30 star football player who turned to boxing.
00:34 So, of course, it's a risk,
00:36 especially him not being a big name.
00:40 You know, putting it all on the line
00:41 against someone like him,
00:44 everyone thought it was kind of crazy.
00:45 I don't know if it's the first time,
00:46 but really, you're gonna do that?
00:48 Why, where, what's going on?
00:51 What's the plan here?
00:52 And it's just one answer to become world champion.
00:55 - Amazing, and you say that you wanna become world champion.
00:58 People like KSI, I'm guessing they're not
01:01 on your radar anymore, but people like Vidal Reilly,
01:04 would that be a fight that we could see in the near future?
01:07 - Yeah, for sure, that could happen.
01:08 That'd be interesting.
01:09 And he has a name, a profile,
01:13 and that's something that I expect to see for sure.
01:17 As I go down this path, I'm gonna continue
01:20 to challenge myself and grow and grow and grow.
01:22 some of those names start popping into the equation. Cheers Jake, thanks.
