I thought I was better than everyone and I thought I could box until I went to the gym and got beat up by someone 30kg lighter than me, but I just kept coming back.”Instagram: @2sharp_d“I haven’t had an easy path in my career,” Bentley said. “I’ve had to fight my way here, so I appreciate it more than anything.
