00:00obviously raising hopefully raising so much money for such an incredible event you're going to be

00:05walking down it's going to be like ring lights you're the opening fight you're starting all of

00:10this off what are you most looking forward to come the 18th october um well that's the thing

00:18i said because we're the opening fight i see we only found out today that we're the opening fight

00:21um there's no level of kind of understanding everyone else's level because at the moment

00:27i'm sparring with pros paddy's probably sparring with pros so actually like we don't know the

00:32level yet because i haven't sparring against a normal civilian um so so because we're the uh

00:39the guinea pig shall we say everyone's going to have a look at us see the way we do it

00:42see if we gas out after two rounds or three rounds and i think they'll be making markers whereas we've

00:47not got that we've just got to go in there i guess hammer and tong go at each other um whatever your

00:52taxes are going to be on the night we're just going to have to do it and then see how it goes but i

00:55think the thing is we want to be entertaining because we want the people to get their monies

00:59well um so as much as it's three two minute rounds and you know you want to be sensible

01:03still want to put on the show i don't want to stand there and just jab jab you know i want to put on

01:07the show i want to make sure that the people are entertained that we've put on a good show and that

01:11the next ones are all going to be sellouts as well um but first of all i want to win and that's it

01:16and that's that's the thing that brings out of you whatever your plan is you feel like you're losing

01:20on the card you'll end up swinging wild shots you'll end up doing whatever you can to try and get back

01:24into the fight so hopefully i'm not doing that on the night but if it needs to be um i'll fight i'll

01:29fight and win any way i have to how are you feeling about those three rounds um i'm really excited for

01:34it listen on the night it might be a combination of nerves anxiety wanting to get going against

01:39actually being nervous like if he beats me you know there's always going to be those things

01:43because it's something we never experienced i stepped onto a football pitch every time i stepped

01:46onto a football pitch i always had an anxiety in the tunnel because i wanted to get going

01:50not a nervousness about what i'm going to do out there but i always wanted to get going

01:54i just wonder if that that kind of anxiety will kick in when you know i'm doing the ring walk and i'm

01:59doing this long three minute ring walk and uh and i'm looking at paddy in the ring or whatever and i'm

02:04waiting to get going i just wonder if that same thing will kick in
