“I don’t look at exterior. If Bakhram never boxed, and worked on a farm, he’d still be a scary-looking dude,” Kelly said. “It’s just because he’s a boxer, it plays hand-in-hand with it. The greats like Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard, if you saw them looking down the street, you wouldn’t think they’re killers. But they are when they get in the ring. So I feel at ease, I feel calm. I’m here and I am ready to put a performance on. I feel great. I believe I will be the new IBF world champion. This is everything I’ve envisioned and everything I’ve thought about. It has come to fruition, including this. So I can’t wait.”
