No regrets to get in ring one last time. I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions.

To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you.”
