We just train real hard and help each other. It's great being able to spar and train with these champions." "This is a very big event. Fighting for a world title--it's all or nothing. Right now, I'm not thinking about [Kovalev]. I'm not thinking about what he has done or what he is doing. I'll see him on Nov. 25, and then after the fight, I'll tell you about him."
