“It gave me a lot of financial freedom to be able to enjoy my training, being a father and husband and I have the chance to take my children to Park City this weekend, my daughter’s 16th birthday. This helped us buy a new car. There’s a lot going on with Francis’ time in boxing, and the way he takes care of his team. He loves each and every one of us and he shows it. He takes care of us, and I couldn’t thank him enough.”
