“To be absolutely honest with you, mate, this is all I expected, you know. When I first set out to get into this game, I know I would be at this level. I knew I could mix it with the best and also get to the level where I am one of or thee best. Do you know what I mean? To be honest, none of this surprises me. I’m just taking each step as they come and making my way toward being the best, no doubt.”
“We cannot take anything away from Louie (Sutherland). Louie at the time was 4-0 and knocking people to sleep. He was sleeping people left, right, and center. I came and handled business at 1-0. How many people could you say get signed by a big organization at 1-0? Not many.”
Bably continued, “How many people could you say get signed with four years experience? Not many. So I’m going to show what I’ve been able to do in these last couple of years. I’m going to show what I’m capable of. I’m going to show that in the next couple of years, you’re going to know my name as one of the best heavyweights to ever live.”

Bably’s thoughts on opponent, Hassan Graham
“I’ve watched a few fights. I have nothing but respect for him. Again, I see that he’s come from an NFL football background. So I have nothing but respect. I’m sure he’s got a lot of power. Again with any other heavyweight, we hit each other for fun and that hurts, mate, yeah. Anyone that says it doesn’t hurt, it hurts. But again, we are real-life modern-day gladiators, and if you’re not prepared for anything in there then you’re in the wrong sport.”
“He seems like he hits very hard but I hit very, very hard too. So we’ll see who hits the hardest, won’t we? So you know, I’m not here to disrespect anyone. I’m not here to make anyone feel something that they’re not. I respect him but February 10th, I will show why I’m on a different level.”
