Something that has been a regular occurrence throughout the career of Webster is not getting much time to train for specific opponents. Dates are booked weeks and often months before he knows who he will be fighting, and various challengers are brought to the table before someone signs the deal to scrap.
"My trainer, Denny Brown, tells me that if I just am who I am supposed to be in that ring, it doesn't matter who I'm fighting," Webster stated. "We train for the pressure, we train for the boxers, we train for awkwardness, and we train for the long haul. Denny's main goal is to always get these guys out of there as quickly as possible, but we also train for the rounds. We try to train where we don't have to worry about being touched too much. Overall, it's not really a frustration to me anymore. I remember a time when I used to get frustrated, but now that I'm starting to understand who I am, I wouldn't want to fight me either."
And as for his upcoming bout, Webster forecasts an entertaining night for all of the fight fans in attendance.
"On the 27th, expect explosiveness, great defense, great discipline and another 'Take it to the Bank' victory," he concluded.
