Freezy MacBones has indicated in earlier interviews that his village did not have access to potable water and was not connected to the national electricity grid.

The boxer recounted a time when there was no electricity and access to fresh water was considered a luxury he could not afford.
He described having to trek several miles to fetch water from a nearby river.
“Yesterday I visited the place I was born and grew up. It was amazing, it was emotional and exciting.
“The feelings were different. Thanks for all the support and prayers for yesterday.
“Let’s make history. Let’s win together. Feels good to be home.”
