"Today I was training with Filip Verlinden, he is a GLORY [contender]. The guy is an animal," he says. "I could not be training with better people. Filip sets the bar very high, he is a world champion.
"I'm very satisfied with the training I've been doing with Henry [Hooft, striking coach at The Blackzilians]. He is helping me with my stand up and it is going great; perfect.
"To be able to learn and develop with each training for me is victory [in itself], nothing beats that."
