"As you were so badly injured after your last fight with Midori what has made you decide to take her on again?"
"Well the money being offered, win or lose, is very good.  Marco and I are still owe money from the Japanese medical bills, so we need the money.  And of course I would also like to get revenge for my defeat.
At first when I heard that Midori had been seriously injured I was happy and I felt it was payback for what she had done to me.  But then when I heard about the extent of her injuries and how she would never fight again and would no longer be able to support her family, I felt we had both been beaten by our passion for fighting.
When this rematch was proposed I initially said "no", but when I thought about it further I decided that provided the conditions were right and there was no "blood money" on the table I would do it.  Marco isn't happy with the idea, but I feel it is something I need to do put the incident in Japan behind me once and for all!"
