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.

“Let’s make history. Let’s win together. Feels good to be home.”
