But he added that circumstances had now changed and he was going to fight for his future. , , , . “I have a wife and young child m New Zealand, but with fighting I have never had much chance to make a successful marriage," he said. He had intended to fly to New Zealand immediately to discuss with his wife his plans to buy a house in New South Wales so that he could bring her and the child to stay with him.
