The 26-year-old Chinese-born knockout specialist feels that youth is on his side and will be a major advantage in this fight. He said:

"I think my biggest advantage over Thanh Le is that I'm younger than him. I've yet to reach my peak, and he's already old."

Thanh Le on Father Time

36-year-old Le says that age is just a number regarding his fighting skills. When the fight was announced, Le addressed concerns about his age in a press conference. He said:

“Physically and mentally I feel really good, and I think that’s going to be the downfall of a lot of people to come and try to take this belt. On paper I’m a little older, slower, might not be able to train as much. I’ve been doing this so long, maybe my body hurts. But we’ll step into the ring and we’ll see how slow and how things come out of this body.”
