Fresh off a championship-level 10-round victory, Corey sits down with Travis Hartman to talk about winning two belts, becoming a world-ranked contender, and why the accomplishment still hasn’t completely sunk in. Corey breaks down the fight round-by-round, the surprisingly close scorecards, the moment his father told him they might be behind, and how he found another gear late in the fight. He also opens up about the unique relationship he shares with his father and coach, the pressure of having people look up to him, and why becoming famous has never been the goal. The conversation also turns toward what comes next. Corey explains why he believes he’s ready for anyone, discusses potential world-title opportunities, and reveals where he hopes to be one year from now.
