At a press conference:
Joe sat behind the table, his eyes still filled with the fatigue of the match. The press members were asking questions one after another.
"Joe, your victory means a lot. Many boxing fans find hope in you. How do you evaluate the meaning of your nickname 'Tomorrow's Hope'?" a reporter asked.
Joe took a deep breath, remained silent for a few seconds, and then began to speak. "I don't know if I really deserve it," he said, clasping his hands on the table. "But every day I face my past, and to be here today, to still be alive, is a chance. For me, this is not just boxing. This is my journey to find myself."
The reporter smiled. "So saying 'Tomorrow's Hope' means something to you. People look at your story and find themselves again, right?"
Joe nodded slightly. "Yeah, maybe so. Boxing didn't just teach me how to fight in a ring, it taught me how to survive in life."
While the reporters were appreciating Joe's inner strength and determination, another reporter asked, "So who will be your next opponent?" he asked.
Joe took a deep breath. "I don't know that yet, but I'll be ready. No matter what happens, I'll keep fighting," he replied.
