“My dad loved Kevin Mitchell even though he was English and obviously we loved Ricky and then for Ricky to go and stop him and properly stop him was like a mega fight that I loved,” said Collins. “It was some fight, man, honestly. I don’t think I’ll forget that fight just because Mitchell was also, like, running through people at the time and back when I used to watch BoxNation, like, every day. So I thought it was going to be a tough fight for Ricky. And then Josh [Taylor], obviously, I watched him for years even as an amateur coming through and stuff, so it’s all these guys, these people I look up to. And then I’ll be one of the guys that I’m talking about where I’m like, I loved seeing Ricky Burns be so-and-so, I loved seeing Scott Harrison, I loved seeing Willie Limond, you know. People in five, 10 years will say, I loved seeing Nathaniel do this, or the next guy you’re interviewing through Scotland is going to say, ‘Oh, that show there, that put him there.’ That’s kind of the goal, isn’t it?”
