The press began with the finalists of The Supreme Fighter. A reporter in the front row stood, his notepad in hand, and leaned toward the mic.
"Question for Max Taylor. You've had a tough road to get here, close fights, a few comebacks along the way. What makes you confident that tomorrow you'll beat Ronny McGregor?"
Max adjusted the mic in front of him, his expression calm. "Every fight I've had prepared me for this one. I've been tested, I've been pushed, and I've come out on top. Ronny's tough, but tomorrow, I show why I belong here."
The crowd clapped lightly, and the reporter turned quickly toward Ronny. "Your response?"
Ronny leaned forward, his grin confident. "Max is good, but he's not on my level. I didn't just come here to be part of the tournament, I came here to win it all. Tomorrow, I finish this inside the distance."
The fans reacted with cheers and a few boos, the first sparks of rivalry catching in the air.
