The day after the victory, Hendrickson sent a faithful message to X.
“That just happened. Nothing is impossible when you have God around you!” he wrote.
Hendrickson, the second lieutenant of the U.S. Air Force, elaborated more on his belief in journalists’ post-match media supply.
He said, “I think this will be a few more days before the emotions settle down. But first of all, I just want to thank my family. I want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ because He blesses me.” Exercise as soon as possible. “In the last shot, I was on that leg, and there was a little extra push behind me to evacuate. I think that was accidental.
“At the beginning of this week, our doctor, Brandon Mason, went to the Life Church and he was like, ‘Hey, guys are awesome sermons.’ I was listening to his sermons.

He said he focused on the Bible verses before his last game with Steveson, who was considered a favorite.
“I carried me with me all week. Even though he followed the giants and everyone was there, ‘It’s impossible to do it.’ He had a title idea, but he had a win for victory. In this game, I knew my head had to be on my head if I wanted to end up being number one.
“Go there, I’m brave. My strength is- it fixes. I fell. I’m patient. I went in with the right way of thinking. In the case of the bat, I was the same at the time, ‘It’s not an easy game.’ At the beginning, I didn’t want any point of view to work.
“He fell me once. But when it mattered, I fell him.”
