00:00Defeated in 18 professional fights, number one in the world with the WBO and the IBF, this is Shane Goodman.

00:13You're going to look at Chinoy today, what do you see?

00:17Look, he's a good fighter. I've seen what I had to see in the preparation league.

00:21This is almost an audition for him to get that shot.

00:24I'm laser focused on this, I'm not looking past this one.

00:30I'm in the shape of my life and I'm ready to handle business in Wollongong.

00:34I'm excited to bring another big show here and to do it all over again.

00:38I just know I'm the better fighter, I'm going to get out there and handle business as I usually do.

00:41What about what George Rose, your promoter, said just earlier?

00:45You're happy to get over there in September if they need you to get in against another innovation to come through this fight?

00:50Like I said, I'm focused on this fight and getting past this.

00:52I've already been there, beat TJ, I'll see him at the end of the year.

00:57Tell us about Wollongong and how it's reacted to the build-up to another Sam Goodman headline fight here in the Winter Entertainment Center.

01:07Look, it's a little bit more low-key than the last time I think.

01:11It's a bit more tame, but it's good. It's going to be rowdy, fight time.

01:15Fight night rolls around, you know what we always bring.

01:18We always bring the noise, we bring the heat.

01:19It's going to be an unbelievable atmosphere here once again.

01:23I know everyone's coming to support.

01:25I'm grateful for all the support that's turning out and everyone who's getting around the event.

01:29Continue to get in, get your tickets, buy your pay-per-views.

01:32Let's put on a massive show on Wednesday night.

01:35I've got to keep putting on big performances against world-class guys like this.

01:38Most certainly, I'm going to put my best foot forward.

01:42If the opportunity presents itself to get him out and take him out, absolutely.

01:46That's the goal, that's the name of the game.

01:47I'll do it smart, I'll go through my process as I need to.

01:51I'll make sure he's a beaten man.
