«He’s the mandatory, but he’s never headlined his own card. He’s never fought on PPV, so I’m not quite sure. It’s a world title, so he thinks he deserves a lot more money than I think he does deserve, but it’s up to them what they come up with...I don’t care where the fight is. Most of my fights have been in New Zealand, but people forget I’ve fought in America twice, I’ve fought in Germany, fought in Samoa, so it doesn’t matter where the fight is. I’ll be comfortable fighting anywhere.
Over here in New Zealand, I have everyone supporting me, but I guess if I train hard, I’m comfortable wherever it is. It will probably give me more motivation to knock him out.»
