“The biggest mistake his opponents have made is underestimating him. In the ring all fighters are dangerous. We all have two arms, two legs, one brain. We need to respect that. Never underestimate anyone or any obstacle. And all of his opponents have underestimated Whittaker.”
Yoel opens up about his own mindset. How he approaches the fight game. And what he seeks from the people he surrounds himself with.
“Knowing that all your dreams can come true if you push yourself. With Gods blessing and if you are disciplined. I thank God for having these trainers. I picked them because of their techniques, not only looked at their job professionally. But I also looked at their background. If they are family orientated if they are educated. And also if they have a positive lifestyle. This is so important to me.”
