This will be the national television debut for Odom but he is just taking this like any other fight.
“Fighting on television is no big deal. It’s just me being seen by more people. I am the same type of fighter no matter what the situation.”
“I am going to handle my business in the ring and I am going to be the same person and I am going to complete my mission and that is to win.”
The knockout artist finished by saying, “I am going to do what I have to do on July 25. I just want to thank the fans, GH3 Promotions, my trainers, strength and conditioning coaches and everyone who has helped in my career and just remember, dreams do come true.”
