When discussing how he plans to adapt to the well skilled veteran Frenchman, He said “I hope to fight a beautiful and efficient fight in front of the people of Ghent, I‘ll win and I want to do so in a great way. I want to please the audience of my new promotors, Claude Van Hedde and Olivier Orlans.”
