In the aftermath of his triumph, Dubois jubilantly addressed the crowd, declaring himself a gladiator and a warrior driven by an unyielding desire to ascend to the pinnacle of the sport.
Dubois told the cheering crowd: “Are you not entertained?
“I’m a gladiator. I am a warrior to the bitter end. I want to get to the top level of this sport and reach my potential.”
