On the ‘DC and Helwani’ show, the highest ranked heavyweight contender said: “Different times … he’s like 10 years younger than me. He was from the same side of town. I think he and his wife went to Acadian High School. There were 2 schools that feed. Northside High School and NP Moss at that time and Acadian Middle School. I went to NP Moss, he went to Acadian, but we all went to the same area, the same high school. “
