"I'm 54-years-old. I mean, I never said my time was up when I was 40...When I look at some of these posts, everybody's talking about how fu**ing old I look. I am fu**ing old, that's how this works. I'm older today than I was fu**ing yesterday, that's how it works."
While further speaking about taking his health seriously, White said:
"I feel like I'm fu**king 25 again, you know, I've been taking my health serious, I feel great. And you know, when you start talking about my time is up here, the last 20 years have gone by like this. How fast is the next 20 gonna go? You know, so there's still a lot of work and today was a really really big day for the sport."
