“It’s all very new. This whole situation that is happening, the world has transformed. It's changing for everyone. For me, it's another day at work, where I have to focus and give my 100%. Is different. I don't know how it will be, because I've never fought like this. It will feel like I’m doing a workout”, he concluded.
