So, Sirill, moments away from coming off
the stage, very close to Tom Aspenol.
We're getting close to the fight. What's
your immediate reaction, the energy that
you're feeling now?
Uh, I felt two guys really prepared
mentally, physically, and uh with a lot
of motivation and uh the good
internship. So, I hope uh this Saturday
you you're going to have a big show.
Yeah.
You've challenged for the title before.
What makes this one different?
The experience, maybe. And uh
like I say all the of the week uh I
built something special for this camp.
So now we will see.
On that note, you created this bubble,
took yourself away from your family.
What has that created in you both with
your skills and the the mental side of
your game as well? Like I say before
that uh my coach my coaches asked me
some question and we make some decision
and the decision was to create this
bubble. So now I just want to respect my
choice. I just want to respect my
choice. I just want to respect my
coaches, all the people helped me for
this camp, all the gym we did in Dubai,
in France, all the sparring partner. I
want to respect also Thomas Spinner
because he's a huge fighter. He's a huge
challenge and uh the more thing the
better thing I can do this weekend is to
give him the 100% bon and uh to respect
him.
Can you tease how good your skills are
now after you've spent this time
focusing and your mind sharp away from
family and distraction?
Uh can you repeat? Sure.

the wrestling game maybe. No, maybe.
Yeah, we did. We did protect. Nice. We
uh yes, we did a big focus and uh yeah,
I improve a lot in my wrestling game uh
