“The boxing I care about the most. I think it’s the last big fight we’re gonna have for quite a while. I grew up loving boxing and it’s a big fight. I care a lot about it. The Kentucky Derby I care if, you know, if there’s somebody who can win the Triple Crown – it’s a beautiful race – but this fight is huge.”
