I didn&#8217;t really know it at the time, but my mind wasn&#8217;t fully focused. Everything was just planned for the party afterwards, the celebrations and reflecting on what a week and what a show it had been. I took my eye off having a fight in front of me.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/21\/15\/78065129-12775561-image-a-3_1700579211299.jpg\" height=\"459\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Gary Cully says losing to Jose Felix was one of the hardest moments of his life and admits he got caught up in his &#8216;own hype&#8217; after returning home to Ireland to face the Mexican in May<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/21\/14\/71223133-12775561-Cameron_remained_undisputed_super_lightweight_champion_as_she_de-a-2_1700578791121.jpg\" height=\"440\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>ully is looking to right his wrong during this weekend&#8217;s make-or-break clash with Reece Mould on the undercard of Cameron&#8217;s undisputed Super-Lightweight World Title rematch with Taylor<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Probably being back in Dublin and back in Ireland I fell into that trap as well of The Diva Gary Cully \u2013 Gary is the guy and Gary is the man. I probably fell into that trap a little bit as well and started believing my own hype a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I wanted to impress and thought I&#8217;d just f***ing walk through this kid. I just wasn&#8217;t fully focused, wasn&#8217;t fully focused on Jose Felix and I paid the price. This time it isn&#8217;t about a celebration or a party like last time was supposed to be.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I&#8217;ve been through some ups and downs in my life, but that loss was definitely the hardest. It felt like the world was ending at one point. I thought it was, but it taught me lots of lessons. I think I&#8217;ve learnt a lot from it as well. I&#8217;m looking forward to showing that this Saturday.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Cully &#8211; who is now under the tutelage of\u00a0Joe McNally &#8211; is adamant he will bounce back after his defeat last time out but admits there is an element of &#8216;pressure&#8217; to show everyone in his home town what he can do.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I&#8217;ve got a job ahead of me. We&#8217;re going back to Dublin which is my hometown and we&#8217;re going straight back there after coming off a loss. I&#8217;m not in the winners club right now, and I believe that&#8217;s where I&#8217;m supposed to be.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;There&#8217;s a bit of pressure to get back into that club obviously but I&#8217;m not feeling an ounce of pressure, this is personal and this is me versus me this time around. This is about Gary Cully getting back to where I know I&#8217;m at and showing everybody what I can do.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;When I come in here (the Rotunda) I&#8217;m just another one of the lads. Darren Till is in here training with us and he&#8217;s just Darren, he&#8217;s just another one of the lads. I&#8217;ve got the second chance and I&#8217;ve got to make it right. I&#8217;ve got to come back and show them that I am what I say I am. It&#8217;s important to me for sure.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Reece Mould, he&#8217;s tough and he&#8217;s game. He&#8217;s been around the block, 19 fights 18 wins. He&#8217;s only lost to Leigh Wood so he&#8217;s no mug. He knows what he&#8217;s doing and he&#8217;s going to come to win. I want to put pain on somebody and I want to put on a performance, beat somebody down and show them I&#8217;m at the level I say I&#8217;m at.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/21\/15\/78065149-12775561-image-a-4_1700579221075.jpg\" height=\"398\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Cully is adamant he will bounce back after his defeat last time out but admits there is an element of &#8216;pressure&#8217;
