"I'm good. I'm good. I'm grateful, I'm super grateful that I'm back punching, training, and being able to put my focus on my Thai boxing and fight. Nothing gets me pumped more. That's what I live for. Training hard every single day, just focused on that one thing on my mind for months. So yeah, I'm just taking it day by day, and super happy to have another fight lined up."
