“He’s projecting, maybe, or he just said it to boost your confidence. No, I feel amazing. I'm better now than I've ever been, physically and mentally. I'm happy to be here. I feel amazing, in the best shape of my life. I'm just getting better. Age is a number and I feel better than when I was 22, 25, 30. The name for this is consistency. I always improved with each fight and learned something. I'm at the gym constantly. Whatever he’s saying, there’s no basis,” Bader said.
The duel between Bader and Corey is valid for the semi-finals of the light heavyweight tournament. The winner of the fight guarantees a place in the big decision against whoever triumphs in the duel between the current champion Vadim nemkov and Lithuanian Julius Anglickas, who face each other in the main fight of the event.
