Before the ACB 50 tournament I was in great shape and totally ready to fight. Physically, mentally - everything was great. When I was informed that Vyacheslav won't be able to fight, I was just devastated. I remember leaving the hotel, turning off my phone and just roaming the streets to wrap my head around it. Mentally it was tough, especially considering the fact that my last fight also got cancelled because I couldn't make weight. And it happened in St. Petersburg as well.
Now I've completely gotten over it and forgotten about this unpleasant incident. Yesterday I returned from Poland where I've been in my brother's corner at the Young Eagles tournament, and tonight I'm starting to train actively. Mentally it's gotten even easier, since difficult situations in life build your character. And technique-wise I've done a good job before the last fight, so now I have a chance to fine-tune my skills. I see how Vasilevsky is training, there is nothing special, so I'm confident in my abilities.
I've been asking to make this fight a title one for a long time, however that didn't happen. Anyway I want to win the belt in this division and Vyacheslav is standing in my way, so I'll do everything possible for my next fight to be a title one.
