“When it didn’t work out in Canada, it kind of made me hungrier”, Taylor explained, “because I knew I belonged there”. “It just made me work harder and pay more attention to detail”. “Because I’ve been wanting this just as bad as him”, said LaVoid Taylor. “It’s going to be surreal moment”. “The person that’s in front of me, I looked up to all my life, so I know it’s going to be a challenge, but I’m ready for it”.
