— You said you had a shipping company and a beauty salon. How is it going now?
— Basically, my business is doing well. The business that brings in the most money is related to freight transportation and truck rental – my transportation company. Because it is not a seasonal activity. It always performs well in terms of profit, always brings good income, all year round. And the beauty salon – where profits increase as certain holidays approach, so everything becomes busier. But in terms of profit, freight transport performs the best.
— Do fight royalties help you invest in your businesses to make business run better?
– Yes, it’s true.
—You said you liked knockouts. What brings more satisfaction now: the KO itself, or the fact that it can be used to invest in a business?
“A knockout is good, but for me it is more important to go home as soon as possible and see my family after the fight. This is the most enjoyable thing for me, not a knockout or money. If I win, the next day I want to fly as quickly as possible to the people waiting for me,” Lewis told .
