Davies only gets paid after the fight, but two months of preparation has meant he has spent money on things like training and camps.<\/p>\n
“It’s not about the money, but it’s like going to work for nothing,” he said.<\/p>\n
“I bought my house, and you rely on these fights to keep chipping away, so it’s hard.”<\/p>\n
He said because of the training he missed out on a lot over the festive season. <\/p>\n
“I’ve been grafting over Christmas, I missed so much over Christmas, which I’m happy to do and I understand that’s part of my job, but to do it and then to have the curtain shut on me 10 days out after all these people have supported me – I’ve had sponsors, it’s a difficult one to get your head round,” he added.<\/p>\n
He said there were no days off, even when he was spending time with his family.<\/p>\n
“I had a Christmas dinner, but there’s no enjoying a Guinness, there’s no time with my friends, there’s no day off.”<\/p>\n
“I didn’t have chocolate, sweets, biscuits.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Davies only gets paid after the fight, but two months of preparation has meant he has spent money…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":408600,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-408599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=408599"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408599\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/408600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=408599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=408599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=408599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
