00:00First and foremost, I just wanted to ask you, how do you reckon that launch press conference went?
00:04You weren't having it, you weren't having any of his sort of statements saying that he's going to try and, you know, make this an easy bit of work.
00:10How have you found it?
00:11I'm buzzing. I mean, it seems like Brayton's buzzing for the fight as well.
00:16I mean, I was walking up and down the main streets and quite a few people stopped me to take a picture and whatnot.
00:20So I'm just buzzing here.
00:23It's the first time we've seen Harlem since the fight's been announced and I'm excited.
00:27It's brought a bit of excitement to me.
00:31I feel he's just, he's not ready for this fight.
00:33I mean, he's been given relatively easy fight after easy fight, cherry-picking through his career.
00:39I've been given tough fight after tough fight from the very get-go.
00:43Unfortunately, I wasn't blessed with a classic name like Q-Bank and I had to grit and fight my way to where I am now.
00:50He hasn't. He's been given it easy and I think that's going to be shown on March 7th.
00:56I think he's in with his first real opponent, his first live opponent.
01:01And the first time someone really, really is going to come in here and try and upset the apple carton.
01:07And I don't think he's ready.
01:09I think he hasn't got the amateur experience.
01:11He hasn't got the pro experience.
01:12He doesn't even know himself what's going to happen if he goes into war and he's in the trenches.
01:18Is he going to crumble? He doesn't know.
01:19He doesn't at all know him.
01:21I know once it gets hard, I can bite down on my gums and then go to absolute war.
01:25So we'll see what he can do.
01:27And in terms of victories on your pro career so far, I mean, you've got more than anyone that he's faced.
01:32Do you think that that's a big advantage coming into this because you've tasted victory more times?
01:38I mean, having that awe that he has is really, really...
01:44You hate losing the awe.
01:45But I think that's sometimes a bad thing where you get over-nervous and you have a couple of losses.
01:51It makes you settle on defeats more easily.
01:53So I think, yes, I've had the harder fights.
01:56I've had the world opposition and I've had the better wins.
02:01But he's out to prove a point.
02:02He's out in front of his home fans.
02:05He's undefeated.
02:06He's the big name.
02:07He's the home veteran.
02:08He's the one Samuel Wasserman.
02:10So he's going to be a tough eight.
