Anissa Meksen identifies the main difference between good fighters and world champions
The Korean Tiger Studios representative recently caught up with the South China Morning Post for an interview and she shared her thoughts about the differentiator of fighters to world champions.
According to Meksen, discipline is the key to reaching the pinnacle of success as a professional fighter, as she explained:
"You know, when you train everyday, the motivation is good. But if you want to fight and keep the belt, you have to stay disciplined. That's why there are a lot of good fighters and then there are champions. This is the difference between the two - motivation and staying disciplined and focused."
