To cement oneself as a champion is a large accomplishment in and of itself, however there’s a likelihood to change into embedded much more into the historical past books, as Jesse Ronson stated [via Bare Knuckle Bowker],
“I’m good, man. Coaching’s going good. Very easy. That is most likely the sharpest I felt in a coaching camp most likely ever. Like every thing’s simply on. Pace is best than ever. Energy is best than ever. Like what’s actually; my reactions, timing, and distance, it’s ridiculous. It’s like everyone who’s watching and who’s coaching with me, they’re like, “Holy,” prefer it’s ridiculous. It’s such as you flip 40 and it’s you hit your prime once more.”
“Like I stated, I’ve by no means been like this on and I really feel supremely assured and I’m very measured and dialed in for this as a result of everybody’s like, “What concerning the strain?” In fact it’s my first world title battle versus a legend like Cub Hawkins who’s like a two or three division world champion. He’s like 9 and one. Simply beat a legend in Barrie Jones who I’ve needed to battle.”
“So it’s a tall order, however once more, to be the primary Canadian ever to win a naked knuckle title. That belt is f***ing superior [laughs]. The Police Gazette belt, it’ll sit proper proper in entrance of me proper right here. I simply need it so dangerous and it’s simply very motivating. So I’m doing every thing proper. I’m taking all the correct relaxation days that I have to take and coaching sensible. Which I ought to have been doing my complete profession, however yeah. No, it’s higher now than ever.”

No one is aware of who that’s and I seemed it up and I can’t discover something.”
“So, it’s; I can’t even describe the sensation. I want I may clarify [to] the skin, such as you’re making historical past. Like lots of people don’t suppose it’s a giant deal. Some folks suppose it’s an enormous deal, but it surely’s like there’s by no means been a naked knuckle Canadian champion. Like come on [laughs]. Like that’s large. Particularly for me. Like everybody’s like, “Oh, you began MMA. Don’t you need to be an MMA world champion?” I’m like, “Being a world champion in itself is saying one thing since you’re one of the best on the planet at one thing.””
“Not lots of people can say that. Now, to have the ability to say that I’m one of the best on the planet at 175 kilos naked knuckle boxing, folks might be like effectively, what about Mike Perry? What about Dave Mundell? Nicely, if they need it, they’ll come get it. Simply present me the f***ing cash cuz I’m positive BKB would like to do a co-promotion to make some cash. However to try this after which have the ability to say that I’m the primary Canadian, thousands and thousands of Canadians, prefer to be; oh it’s simply it’s such an unbelievable feeling and it’s simply one thing that like there isn’t a strain.”
“I’m going to go on the market and I’m going to f***ing win. It simply; it feels so good. Like I really feel like I can’t lose as a result of I’m the primary man. I do know there’s people who have had title pictures like Jade Masson-Wong. She had a title shot in BKFC. I’m positive there’s different Canadians which have had their alternatives, but it surely’s like the place they failed, I received’t as a result of I simply; I really feel over 20 years of my profession and all my expertise versus a man like Cub Hawkins, I simply really feel like I can’t lose. The universe received’t let me lose. It’s our time. Go Canada [laughs].”

You see what this man simply did? Like the streak that he’s been on, he’s a Canadian.”
“Like this might be a extremely massive market, a extremely massive turning level.” He was adamant on being like, “Nah, we have to get him one or two extra.” Then it was humorous how I didn’t want one or two extra. I believe he was simply; I don’ know. I believe he knew I used to be going to get the title shot as a result of 175 is a fairly stacked division. Yeah, I’m simply glad.
