After a simple meal at the hotel, which consisted of toast, milk, and roast beef brought from the United States,
he was extremely cautious with his diet before the competition to avoid any issues with food incompatibility. He did not eat any spicy food or indulge in the typical British foods and beverages.
Back in his hotel room, he received a call from Emma asking when he would visit her home.
Link felt somewhat helpless.
After Emma left Miami last year, he had intentionally minimized contact with her.
He had hoped that after more than a year, they could revert to being just friends, perhaps catching up over drinks.
But Emma wanted more than that.
When it was announced in early August that he was coming to London for a boxing competition, Emma continuously messaged him asking when he would arrive in London and suggesting they go on a date.
Link, not being good at rejecting invitations, reluctantly agreed.
But after giving it some thought, he realized it wasn't realistic.
