I knew Avila was going to be a tough, strong opponent. I cracked him a few times early, but he kept bouncing back every time. When I knocked him down, I could tell he wasn't hurt and was impressed by his toughness. He brought out the best in me.

Growing up in Baltimore, there were a lot of distractions. But I was so into boxing, it was like candy to me.

Floyd has showed me that he's set up with real estate, businesses, and investments.

I showed I'm an elite fighter.

Floyd has done a lot for me financially and has taught me a lot about business. He did great in making money during his career and he tells me a lot of what he's working on.

I'm not somebody that's trying to be somebody else. I'm being myself for the most part and people respect that.

I traveled when I was super young, so my mindset was never like a typical 8-year-old.

Thank you to all my fans. Keep supporting me, and I'll fight for you.

I am aware of what my opponent Avila brings and the experience he has. He's tough, throws hard shots and is a good counterpuncher.
