In today's combat sports era, having a perfect record and keeping it intact has been the status quo, but ONE strawweight kickboxing world champion, Jonathan Di Bella, is not one of them. In fact, he doesn't care about it.
In a recent interview with the South China Morning Post, Di Bella shared about his mentality in fighting and how he doesn't want to cherry pick his opponents in an effort to stack a pile of easy wins.
The Canadian-Italian star explained:
"I always always focus on winning and one fight at a time. I realy don't care about records. I don't try to protect my record. I don't try to fight easy fights. I always try to fight the best so it doesn't matter who it is in front of me, I always want to win."
