“We have just started camp now and I have finished up work today to give the next nine weeks everything in preparation,” said Cooper
“I’ve had great support from my boss who has been great in giving me the time to really make a go of what is a great opportunity. This is something that I want badly,”
“I will make sure that I can prepare accordingly so I can bring this belt back to Australia,”
“We know the conditions can be quite tough over there in regards to altitude so we will head over earlier to acclimatise to the thin air. We train in pretty humid conditions up here so conditioning won’t be an issue.”
“This is the type of opportunity that you work so hard for. It’s all a bit surreal at the moment, but the time is here for me to take up the challenge of becoming a world champion,”
“There is only really one guy and that is my trainer, Damian Smith.” he explained. “I have been working with him from day one and we have a really close relationship which is great, we seem to work really well together,”
“I don’t have idols – I don’t have hangers on – and I have been self-sufficient and independent since I was fifteen years old. I do this for me, no one else.”
“It’s just the way it is and it’s also the way I like it, low key.”
“I will also have height and reach on him to, so whichever way you look at it, he is going to have his hands full,”
“Like I said before, this opportunity is everything to me, and we know he is a good fighter,” concluded Cooper.
“But on the night I aim to be better and that’s what we will be focusing on for the next nine weeks of preparation,”
“I’m really excited and can’t wait to get over there and take this bloke’s belt,”
