I just gained so much respect for this man. What an incredible story. I used to root against him because he is so big it didn’t seem fair. Now I am a full blown fan and can’t wait to see his next fight.

A lot of people won’t understand what this man is saying but it brought tears to my eyes. As an American born citizen who had the chance to go to the motherland I noticed what he’s saying is a big problem children’s face in Africa. That’s why I never understood people that wouldn’t eat food at school cause they didn’t wanna be seem poor but if only you guys seem how people over there are really struggling just to get 2 meals a day for their families

I feel like the worst people have power in Africa. With how smart, hard working, and well educated 1st and 2cnd generation Africans are in Western countries their plight and corruption makes no sense. Maybe it's brain drain and we are getting their best too, probably a combination of all of it.
