00:00 Joined by Chris Fulima and Brian Agena. Chris is Brian's coach and Brian's got an Australian title fight coming up.
00:06 Brian, you looking forward to it?
00:08 Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I'm ready for it.
00:11 Do you know much about your opponent?
00:13 I fought him at Commonwealth Games in 2018 and I lost with a split point.
00:21 But now I'm different now. I've got a good coach with good techniques. I'm looking forward to winning.
00:34 Do you reckon you've improved a lot since that last one?
00:37 Yeah, I've improved a lot.
00:39 So you've got the confidence you can do it?
00:41 Yeah, I know I'll win this fight.
00:44 And Chris, how do you reckon he'll go?
00:47 He'll do really well. He'll do better than really well.
00:50 He's put in the hard work. He's a hard trainer. Always training.
00:55 Training three, four times a day. Early hours in the morning and then in the afternoon, later in the night.
01:02 He's always training. Yeah, no, listen, he's ready.
01:06 We've analysed some of the stuff that his opponent brings and then what we can do to make that better.
01:13 And what he can do better on the night too.
01:17 And do you enjoy coaching him?
01:19 I love coaching him. He's easy to work with. He puts in all the work and I tell him what to do and he does it.
01:25 He does all the extras himself. He's a strong, willing kid.
01:30 And if you can win, that'd be pretty special, wouldn't it? To be an Australian title holder.
01:34 Excuse me?
01:35 If you do get the win, that'd be pretty special.
01:37 I will get the win.
01:38 Sorry, when you get the win, it'd be pretty special, wouldn't it?
01:42 Yeah.
01:43 No, no, sounds good. Well, thanks for that, Brian. And thanks for that, Chris.
