The former Regis Prograis was indeed a tough heavy cannon. But he is 35 years old now. I don’t think he is much better than me. Of course, the game between me and him will still be a tough match, and I will try my best to win.”
Regis Progres has also been looking forward to this game for a long time. He told reporters: "This is the fight I've always wanted. We were actually supposed to play each other a few years ago but it never happened. Now is the perfect time.
