And if he wins, everyone will know Dominick Reyes’ name.
“I’ll shake up the whole world,” he said. “I’m fully aware of what’s gonna happen and honestly, I’ve been preparing my whole life. Becoming a champion doesn’t happen overnight; it doesn’t happen when you knock out the champion. It’s a lifelong pursuit. It’s the way you live your life, it’s how you do things that make you a champion. That being said, I beat him – which I expect to do – and it’s just business as usual. It’s just a little more media, a little more public speaking, it’s getting my message out to a few more kids, saving a couple more lives with suicide prevention. It’s just expanding my platform, that’s all it really is.”
He makes it sound like a walk in the park. But it’s not. Reyes knows it, just like Jones knows he’s in for a fight with a hungry challenger this weekend. But that’s more of the mental battle. On Saturday, Reyes and Jones fight, and Reyes has a message for the champ:
“It doesn’t matter what you say. I’m coming for you.”
