‘The Bronze Bomber‘ said – “The scariest moments when you’re not ready but you’re going out there doing activities it’s going to be able to create a human being but you aren’t ready. You have to deal with the situation. So, you know, when I had her, before she came, I had one guy in college, what we want to do in and out of life, what was things we were doing to actually try to get there because talk is cheap.”

“We always talk about what we want to do but do you ever have the discussion of the plan that you’re trying to do trying to get there right. Somebody’s always talking about like bro, I ain’t gonna be able to go to school no more I got this baby on the way she’s gonna be born with. I think I should start boxing. I handle myself. People know what I mean by highlighting my business and shoes and being the best dressed.” – Wilder added.
