NG: How’s the rehabilitation of your right arm going?

EP: Not at all, at this point. I’m preparing my left for the Worlds, I have no time for the right.

NG: Why such weak performance at A1? Was it because of the injury?

EP: It so happened that I was preparing my right for the armfight, and focused on the left too little. Up until the A1 it wasn’t in top form, and I haven’t fought with right because of the injury. Hence my failed fight.

NG: Are you going to the Worlds in Malaysia?

EP: Yes, I am, but I will fight only in left arm.

NG; And what about the Professionals’ Cup?

EP: I can’t say anything at this point. I don’t think so, thought, as I will be treating my right arm. No strains are advisable on any arm. Although I would like to fight in this tournament.

NG: I wish you quick recovery and good luck at the Worlds!
