“Getting ready to go watch your man fight is weird. It’s this feeling of going to watch the same movie but you forgot the ending. You feel fear, but mostly you finally understand the meaning of hope. It’s exciting, but you can’t wait for it to be over. ‘I’ll stand by you’ has a new meaning since I fell in love with you.”
Spiller has been an ever-present at Du Plessis' side for more than a year and has watched him fight against Strickland and Israel Adesanya.
