When we left Bosnia and went to Germany, we could only stay there four years, or we had to go back to Bosnia. My dad knew there was no future in Bosnia so we decided to come to the United States.

When we were in Bosnia, my dad would go to work, and when he would leave, he always would tell me to study and study hard. He worked so we could move.

I remember some things about living in Bosnia. Every day there were shootings and bombs going off. It was bad.

Jesse could fight in Germany in July. There's talk of a big pay-per-view card in Idaho and he could be on that in August against Cleveland Corder (Brinkley has stopped Corder twice before). Or he could face Joey Gilbert, in Reno, in August or September.

In Germany they have to really try if they want to recreate what happened in 2002 in South Korea or in 1998 in France. They have to prove that the World Cup will be as good as the expectations.

Germany must have her place in the sun.
