“I’m not in this sport for the money. I’m not in this sport because I’m trying to be a businessman or something. I’m in this because I want to hurt people. I get pleasure in this; it’s like a sexual pleasure for me.”
At first I thought he was a bit cringey but I think he is legit just a genuinely odd dude. Hamming it up for the cameras a bit no doubt.
I think he's as strong or stronger than Tim & hits harder. I don't think he's as skilful but the real question will be can he take it? Was clearly hurt by Ben Horn who doesn't have a professional kayo on his record (but who did drop & top the undefeated national welterweight champ in a non-title fight last start). Everyone else Nikita has faced has had an unbeaten record & he's disposed of them all in devastating fashion. Appears to have a kangaroo loose in the top paddock but that may work in his favour in terms of giving him his own identity.
