Teddy Riner.

Teddy Riner appears as a man deeply touched by the problems of the others. He like some French actors (Louis de Funès), TV hosts (Patrick Sébastien) and American actors (Denzel Washington) but he stay a perfectionist during his fights. Teddy Riner wants to win all the time and he succeeds to keep cool without any stress and doubts isolated inside his own bubble. Teddy Riner has been confronted to the racism when he was a teenager. During a fight the father of his opponent has insulted the Teddy Riner uncle. Riner has immobilized with strength his opponent and he has watched the father opponent right in the eyes. The meaning of this watch was clear : don't do that again.
