"It's unbelievable. Like, for me, obviously, back home training is unbelievable as well. But the level is raised a little bit higher because of how good Rountree is. If I'm honest, I haven't been that worried about sparring with him. I know how good he is and I'm used to always sparring lighter people and it's been a good camp for me."
