He expressed his determination by saying, "I'm engaged in a battle, my friend. I aspire to become the No 1 challenger. I believe that I'm the most exceptional performer globally, and now, it's time to demonstrate it. If you disagree with me, then come forward and display it through your actions rather than empty words."
