Speaking to the lads on The Auld Triangle, the double champion explained how he felt a “huge buzz” in the lead up to fights vs Martin Buday, Lazar Todev and Karlos Vémola.

Now an established two-weight champion, Fleury expressed some concern about the lack of fear he felt entering fight week vs Kasim Aras this time, citing a previous KO loss as the last time he felt this way:
