“So, me fearing losing is I love winning, don't get me wrong but I probably fear losing a bit more.

“I train out of fear I really do. I don't think I could deal with losing. I fear it so much I get scared.

“All I can do is do everything in my power to make sure that I am not beat by me. I'm not beat by Conor Benn.
