00:00It's going to be amazing. Having my home crowd, having everybody watching around the world,
00:04it's going to be amazing. I've worked really hard for this. It's been three and a half years since
00:08I last fought at home, so yeah, a huge deal for me. And yeah, we're bringing big-time boxing back
00:14to New Zealand. You've sort of been hiding away in Gutton, but you've got a reputation back home

00:28So yeah, just cool to kind of jump back into the spotlight briefly,
00:33do a little dance and then get out, you know.
