- 1:03Speaker 4: stopped to think about how historic that is?
- 1:06Speaker 3: NA?
- 1:06Speaker 1: See, I'm like, I'm a little emotional, so I get
- 1:08Speaker 1: the crying and stuff, so I don't let myself do that.
- 1:10Speaker 1: But it's a big deal and I got I got
- 1:14Speaker 1: more fish to fire because I want to be undisputed
- 1:16Speaker 1: at heavyweight too. What keeps you in that mode though,
- 1:19Speaker 1: where you like, I got more fish to firework because
- 1:20Speaker 1: you accomplished so much.
- 1:22Speaker 6: What keeps you motivated?
- 1:23Speaker 1: Well? I think I say motivated because I'm young, and
- 1:26Speaker 1: it's always like somebody, like a girl saying that she
- 1:29Speaker 1: can beat me. And when a girl say that, it'd
- 1:32Speaker 1: be like, well, I know the feeling, you know, I
- 1:35Speaker 1: want you to I want to give you a try,
- 1:37Speaker 1: and I actually love fighting. So I just got the
- 1:40Speaker 1: biggest knockout of my career about two weeks ago. But
- 1:43Speaker 1: I have been working so hard for that, Like I
- 1:45Speaker 1: have been beating these girls unanimously, dropping them, winning ninety
- 1:49Speaker 1: to one hundred, you know, ninety two, one hundred and
- 1:52Speaker 1: one too. Now it's like I finally, like, you know,
- 1:55Speaker 1: put somebody to sleep, and it was like, that's what
- 1:57Speaker 1: I want to do in all my fights.
- 1:58Speaker 2: People really still think they can beat you seriously.
- 2:01Speaker 6: Every time by the top, they gotta come at her
- 2:03Speaker 6: like that.
- 2:03Speaker 1: I think it's I think that they think that, but
- 2:05Speaker 1: they don't really feel that. You know, like people just
- 2:07Speaker 1: be talking because whenever I come with the smoke to somebody,
- 2:11Speaker 1: then they energy switch up like, oh no, that ain't
- 2:13Speaker 1: what I mean. Like, no, that's what you meant, and
- 2:15Speaker 1: I want you to stand on it.
- 2:17Speaker 3: Do you think people supporting women's boxing a lot more? Now?
- 2:19Speaker 3: You see more and more people at the fights. It's
- 2:21Speaker 3: more on television, people talking about it more. Do you
- 2:23Speaker 3: feel like you still got a long way to go?
- 2:25Speaker 1: Nah? No, No, I'm making a million dollars pay days
- 2:28Speaker 1: a Turkish I'll even know who I am. You want
- 2:30Speaker 1: to do a fight, Oh wow, I got a movie
- 2:34Speaker 1: coming out by my Life the Fir Inside December twenty fifth.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Women's boxing is getting to just do Are we owe
- 2:41Speaker 1: more of one hundred percent? Well, right now my purse
- 2:44Speaker 1: is a million, and hopefully I can get it to
- 2:46Speaker 1: five million, ten, fifteen, twenty and maybe one day fight
- 2:49Speaker 1: for a million dollars like flood maylother.
- 2:51Speaker 2: Did you know what was so interesting about the fight?
- 2:54Speaker 4: Like most people seem like they get a little slow
- 2:56Speaker 4: when they move up and wait, yeah.
- 2:58Speaker 2: I feel like man was faster.
- 3:01Speaker 4: I was showing my man to punch because I was
- 3:03Speaker 4: watching the fight live and I was watching it realized
- 3:05Speaker 4: I was showing my dude my trainer because he didn't
- 3:08Speaker 4: see He didn't see one of the punches. You too,
- 3:10Speaker 4: And I'm like, no, it was you gotta watch this
- 3:12Speaker 4: punch that dropped her. And he was like, god, damn,
- 3:14Speaker 4: she was fast. It feel like you got quicker.
- 3:17Speaker 1: You know what. The girl was punching at me so fast,
- 3:22Speaker 1: and it was like, hey, I am coming up from middleway,
- 3:24Speaker 1: so don't get it confused. Like I'm like, I don't
- 3:27Speaker 1: even want to get hit by her in here. So
- 3:29Speaker 1: when she ran up on me and tried to sneak
- 3:31Speaker 1: me after the ref broke because and she ran upon me,
- 3:33Speaker 1: I was like, whoa. She was swinging so hard. If
- 3:35Speaker 1: you would have felt unpunched, you would have felt disrespected.
- 3:37Speaker 1: I felt the wind coming across my head and then
- 3:40Speaker 1: before I knew it, I was just spiring back.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Damn.
- 3:42Speaker 1: And then she was going down. But uh, shout out
- 3:45Speaker 1: touch to Cory Stevenson because I send him my sparring.
- 3:49Speaker 1: When I sparred against this guy up in Atlanta. His
- 3:51Speaker 1: name is Demetrius, and I called him the Bear. He
- 3:53Speaker 1: was one hundred and ninety pounds and I sparred against him,
- 3:56Speaker 1: and I sent the court a sparring because Dimitris had
- 3:58Speaker 1: roughed me up and he said, you got to use
- 4:00Speaker 1: your frames more so when you see the punch after
- 4:03Speaker 1: I knocked it on the first time, and then I
- 4:05Speaker 1: ran back up on her again and I turned her.
- 4:07Speaker 1: That's called a frame. So I framed her up, line
- 4:10Speaker 1: her up with the right hand, and that's all. I
- 4:12Speaker 1: doue to s Court because he literally sent me a
- 4:14Speaker 1: video and everything like this is what you need to
- 4:15Speaker 1: be doing when somebody is crowding your space and you
- 4:19Speaker 1: need to line them up for your shots. So shout
- 4:21Speaker 1: out to my brother.
- 4:21Speaker 6: For sure.
- 4:22Speaker 2: I love that.
- 4:23Speaker 3: Do more boxes do that way? But it's like, yo,
- 4:25Speaker 3: let me let me run this byue look at the
- 4:26Speaker 3: strain and what can I do better? What can I
- 4:27Speaker 3: do worse? What should I be doing to make myself
- 4:30Speaker 3: be able to be a better boxer?
- 4:32Speaker 1: You know I do that, and I only share my
- 4:34Speaker 1: sparing clips with Shakur and Terrence Crawford, like I don't
- 4:37Speaker 1: really send my sparing clips out to nobody, like to
- 4:39Speaker 1: get feedback from. I feel like Terrence Crawford and Shakur
- 4:43Speaker 1: are better boxers than me, you know what I'm saying.
- 4:45Speaker 1: I feel like Charkur like skill wise, you know what
- 4:47Speaker 1: I'm saying. Charkurt feel like I got attributes that he
- 4:50Speaker 1: want and he has the attributes that I want, So
- 4:53Speaker 1: I just kind of go back and forth with him.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Like Terrence has that patience that I've been wanting for
- 4:58Speaker 1: so long, like I don't. I don't have too much
- 5:00Speaker 1: pacience in the ring, Like I got the first round,
- 5:02Speaker 1: like let's scrap, and it's like Terrence, he'll he'll go
- 5:06Speaker 1: in the patients the first two or three rounds and
- 5:08Speaker 1: then sleep you the fifth rounds.
- 5:10Speaker 3: Did you see buzz last fight? What do you think?
- 5:12Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 5:13Speaker 1: I seen it. I thought that Madre Doff was an
- 5:17Speaker 1: awkward fighter, you know, I thought he was very awkward.
- 5:20Speaker 1: All that bouncing. I think that also too, Like I
- 5:24Speaker 1: don't think that Terrence has fully settled into the one
- 5:26Speaker 1: fifty four division like he has to that was his
- 5:28Speaker 1: first fight. I think his second fight, he'll know how
- 5:31Speaker 1: to prepare better for a guy of that size, because
- 5:34Speaker 1: even for me, how I got roughed up in Spawn
- 5:37Speaker 1: was I wasn't used to the body with like this
- 5:40Speaker 1: dude is one ninety and the girl I'm going to
- 5:41Speaker 1: be fighting against his coming in, She's going to come
- 5:43Speaker 1: in that one ninety. But it's a bigger body, it's
- 5:46Speaker 1: bigger arms, so and it's a different game plan. So
- 5:49Speaker 1: I think that a Terrence did what he had to do.
- 5:51Speaker 1: I seen him win in to fight, clearly, But a
- 5:54Speaker 1: Madre Doff he wasn't no pushover, And just because he
- 5:57Speaker 1: had ten fights didn't mean he was no pushover.
- 6:00Speaker 2: That's how I be feeling about you. You're fifteen at all, right, three.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Knockouts, but I feel like you've had more fights.
- 6:05Speaker 2: I don't know why I do.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Mm A yeah, yeah, two on one, I should be
- 6:12Speaker 1: three And oh I thought I won that fight. But
- 6:13Speaker 1: you know what, at the end of the day, if
- 6:18Speaker 1: I was to spend a year, two years just practicing
- 6:21Speaker 1: none but Mma, I'll watch all them girls.
- 6:24Speaker 3: Are you doing with MMA?
- 6:26Speaker 1: No? I think I got one more fight with them?
- 6:27Speaker 1: When more fight and then they may come with a
- 6:29Speaker 1: new contract. But in a way it's so weird, like
- 6:34Speaker 1: I'll be telling myself not to say it, because anything
- 6:36Speaker 1: I speak, it always come true. But I I want
- 6:40Speaker 1: to take off a year and a half two years
- 6:42Speaker 1: of boxing and spend it on nothing but MMA. And
- 6:45Speaker 1: I want to fight in a PFL tournament and become
- 6:48Speaker 1: PFL World champion at the same time as being boxing champion.
- 6:52Speaker 1: And I always get mad at myself because it's like, girl,
- 6:54Speaker 1: mma is not your thing, you know, like you're a
- 6:56Speaker 1: great fighter, you love fighting, but MMA is not your thing.
- 7:00Speaker 6: You know.
- 7:01Speaker 1: It's actually harder than boxing to me. But I still
- 7:05Speaker 1: find a way to beat these girls up.
- 7:07Speaker 2: You always moving up in weigh classes, like you said,
- 7:09Speaker 2: you just you did?
- 7:10Speaker 4: Mm me, do you do that because there's not enough
- 7:12Speaker 4: competition for you in women's boxing.
- 7:15Speaker 1: No, it's plenty of competition. These girls are scary. I mean,
- 7:19Speaker 1: like listen, I told the girls that have forty seven
- 7:21Speaker 1: and fifty four, y'all put y'all belts up, and y'all
- 7:23Speaker 1: want to fight against me, I would get my fat
- 7:25Speaker 1: ass down there with y'all. Will I will lose the weight,
- 7:30Speaker 1: But it gotta make money, and it gotta make sense.
- 7:32Speaker 1: But to go to forty seven, which I haven't thought
- 7:35Speaker 1: that yet, to go there would make me a six
- 7:38Speaker 1: time division world champ. But I ain't just finna go
- 7:40Speaker 1: there just to say I went there.
- 7:41Speaker 2: I lose your power if you dropped down that much.
- 7:44Speaker 1: I think it depends on how to lose the weight.
- 7:46Speaker 1: I have a great nutrition team shout out to perfect
- 7:48Speaker 1: the athletes. I've been working with them for so many years.
- 7:51Speaker 1: People was telling me that I couldn't make one hundred
- 7:54Speaker 1: and fifty four, and my nutrition is like, actually, Christia,
- 7:58Speaker 1: you can make one forty seven. I'm like, y'all alone,
- 8:01Speaker 1: y'all alive. But they was like, but if you only
- 8:03Speaker 1: want to go down to fifty four, that's what we
- 8:05Speaker 1: get you down to. They and they got me down
- 8:07Speaker 1: there two or times.
- 8:08Speaker 6: How hard is that to make like certain weights?
- 8:11Speaker 1: Oh no, it's very hard. I mean you look like
- 8:12Speaker 1: you naturally skinning your whatever. Yeah, I am, you know,
- 8:15Speaker 1: but people in my family are not. Okay, if it
- 8:18Speaker 1: didn't work out, I'd be big as a house.
- 8:21Speaker 2: Eating.
- 8:22Speaker 1: I mean, it gets shape is great, but I don't
- 8:24Speaker 1: know that probably doesn't like does that affect you like
- 8:26Speaker 1: having that family history.
- 8:28Speaker 6: I don't know what you're eating is like, like is
- 8:30Speaker 6: it certain times?
- 8:30Speaker 1: Are you?
- 8:31Speaker 2: Like?
- 8:31Speaker 6: Man, I just wish I could just do a burger
- 8:33Speaker 6: to that into.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Well, it's it's a thing of like one. I'm trying
- 8:39Speaker 1: to build a healthy relationship with food because of my
- 8:41Speaker 1: family history. But for me, I've been an athlete my
- 8:44Speaker 1: whole life. So I've lost thirty five pounds for a
- 8:46Speaker 1: fight within seven weeks, you know, I've lost forty pounds.
- 8:50Speaker 1: But I do that because I'm extra locked in on
- 8:53Speaker 1: my goal. Now, I just tell myself not to get
- 8:56Speaker 1: so heavy, do right, I have to lose all that weight,
- 8:58Speaker 1: but if I was to go down to forty seven,
- 9:00Speaker 1: it would be hard, and it consists of a lot
- 9:02Speaker 1: of greens, grains, protein, and water. You know, people think
- 9:07Speaker 1: that you supposed to eat less and drink less when
- 9:09Speaker 1: you losing weight, and it's actually the complete opposite. You know,
- 9:13Speaker 1: I still can eat four times a day with portion
- 9:16Speaker 1: meals and drink a gallon of water a day or
- 9:19Speaker 1: even a gallon and a half when I'm losing weight.
- 9:21Speaker 1: So it's not really a thing of people go down
- 9:23Speaker 1: to those weight classes and they're starving themselves. My nutrition
- 9:27Speaker 1: teams don't let me do that. They're like, look, you
- 9:29Speaker 1: gotta eat even when I'm not hungry. They're like, you've
- 9:31Speaker 1: got to force yourself to eat. Like my stomach is
- 9:33Speaker 1: getting smaller. I may eat the meat. They're like, no,
- 9:35Speaker 1: you need to eat the vegetables and eat the grains.
- 9:37Speaker 1: So I have a very strict nutrition team and they're like,
- 9:42Speaker 1: this is what we have to do. So once they
- 9:44Speaker 1: tell me that what we have to do, I do that.
- 9:47Speaker 1: They do their job and I do my job, which
- 9:49Speaker 1: is trained and get prepared for the fight because rather
- 9:52Speaker 1: no matter what weight I'm at, it's still my job
- 9:54Speaker 1: to fight and then of course to win.
- 9:56Speaker 3: Do you always watch you food? Because I seen you
- 9:57Speaker 3: in Shreveport. There wasn't too many healthy eyes I travel
- 10:01Speaker 3: because that's a that it was a.
- 10:02Speaker 1: Lot of Probably. No, Like I'm off of fighting right now.
- 10:07Speaker 1: I just won two weeks ago, so I can eat
- 10:08Speaker 1: it all. I went to Orlando, shout out to them.
- 10:11Speaker 3: He went to Orlando's Out and now Street Port. Oh
- 10:13Speaker 3: my god, I love that place.
- 10:14Speaker 1: Wasn't all the best food I had in a minute?
- 10:17Speaker 4: He was once to be fire for the last fight though, right, yeah,
- 10:20Speaker 4: I read that you gained fifteen pounds of muscle.
- 10:23Speaker 1: I did. I actually got up to from my weight
- 10:26Speaker 1: class where I was at. I got up to one
- 10:28Speaker 1: hundred and eighty and I had to lose five pounds
- 10:30Speaker 1: to get back down in seventy five. But all the
- 10:32Speaker 1: all the way that I gained was man, it was nothing.
- 10:35Speaker 1: I was squatting two hundred and fifty pounds, binging one
- 10:38Speaker 1: hundred eighty five pounds like hitting it one two and
- 10:42Speaker 1: now one hundred eighty five is it's heavy. I mean,
- 10:44Speaker 1: I ain't gonna say he sayd for a woman, but
- 10:46Speaker 1: I remember when it was time when I couldn't even
- 10:47Speaker 1: hit one thirty five. So if we had to hit
- 10:49Speaker 1: one thirty five ten twelve times and didn't go up
- 10:52Speaker 1: to fifty and to be able to do one eighty
- 10:54Speaker 1: five twice, I was like, God, dang, I'm scared of myself.
- 10:57Speaker 6: Yes, that's unique.
- 10:58Speaker 4: You said something earlier til you say you're trying to
- 11:00Speaker 4: build a heavy relationship with food. Is that because you
- 11:02Speaker 4: came from a place where they had all these food
- 11:04Speaker 4: deserts and they didn't have the best food options.
- 11:07Speaker 2: That was That's why.
- 11:08Speaker 1: No uh Diarbetes and hert problems running my family. So
- 11:12Speaker 1: I just don't want to deal with that, you know.
- 11:14Speaker 1: I'm hoping that genetically when I have my kids that
- 11:18Speaker 1: they don't have to deal with that. So I want
- 11:19Speaker 1: to be as healthy as as as I can be
- 11:21Speaker 1: so it don't pass down to them like I have.
- 11:25Speaker 1: I have a I have a leg disease, Like I
- 11:27Speaker 1: don't have any courlage around my patilla. Really we can
- 11:30Speaker 1: pop out all the time. Hey, it doesn't happen, you know. So,
- 11:39Speaker 1: but the doctor just told me that what I just
- 11:43Speaker 1: located on my knee in twenty nineteen and he x
- 11:46Speaker 1: rayed and he said, I'm surprised it hasn't popped out
- 11:48Speaker 1: more because you don't have no bone around it. And
- 11:51Speaker 1: I was like, really, I'm like, it's never It's never
- 11:54Speaker 1: happened to me. He like, you never like made a
- 11:56Speaker 1: false step and it went to pop up. I'm like, Nah,
- 11:59Speaker 1: just just just happen.
- 12:00Speaker 3: So well, maybe you shouldn't have said that. So now
- 12:01Speaker 3: your opponent will be like, I'm going right for the knees.
- 12:03Speaker 1: Opponent's gonna get here right in the mouth, Okay.
- 12:09Speaker 4: Will you be fighting right like your last fight and
- 12:11Speaker 4: you said she was coming at you, how hard is
- 12:13Speaker 4: it to not resort back to just the street like
- 12:15Speaker 4: just thinking, oh I'm being attacked, just focusing and.
- 12:19Speaker 2: Doing what Chicord told you to do or what you've
- 12:21Speaker 2: been trained to do.
- 12:22Speaker 1: I'm a natural born street fighter, like I street fight
- 12:25Speaker 1: better than I by Why was telling these girls in
- 12:27Speaker 1: the streets, you do not want to mess with me
- 12:28Speaker 1: in the streets like I fight to kill? Like nah,
- 12:32Speaker 1: I got the same mindset and side of the ring
- 12:33Speaker 1: and outside of the ring when it when it comes
- 12:35Speaker 1: to a fight, and that's to what is that to
- 12:39Speaker 1: dismant for you, to get you off me, to to
- 12:43Speaker 1: stop the fight. I got the same mentality in boxing
- 12:46Speaker 1: mm A and street fighting. It really doesn't. It really
- 12:48Speaker 1: doesn't change for me now up in the street fight.
- 12:52Speaker 1: It's winn at any means necessary. If I got to
- 12:54Speaker 1: hit your side your head with a brick, I will,
- 12:56Speaker 1: but don't everything. I'm coming into no fight at a disadvantage.
- 13:00Speaker 1: But you you're not just out here like fighting in
- 13:03Speaker 1: the streets. Girl, Dude, dude, I got on the first
- 13:04Speaker 1: sight you girls you're great.
- 13:05Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
- 13:07Speaker 1: A street fight you gotta get take it back to
- 13:09Speaker 1: fight as long as it's okay, because the way you
- 13:11Speaker 1: said it made it sound a little recent. I'm like,
- 13:12Speaker 1: it's no too much. Put it on me, see not
- 13:19Speaker 1: saying somebody pull up on you. You got like, why would
- 13:22Speaker 1: you pull up on her? This is the thing. When
- 13:24Speaker 1: I was in Atlanta training at Hatsfield Gym, I had
- 13:29Speaker 1: these two coaches coach coach type find me sparing. I
- 13:32Speaker 1: don't know much about Atlanta. I would just do my
- 13:33Speaker 1: first training camp there. So I told them my own
- 13:36Speaker 1: spot against men. So they got me two men, and
- 13:39Speaker 1: then for some reason they got her. They didn't know
- 13:43Speaker 1: that she was a troll, and she ain't making it
- 13:46Speaker 1: known to them either. She had what talking trashing December.
- 13:52Speaker 1: If I showed you the d M, you be like
- 13:53Speaker 1: this crazy like this girl talking about something, be on
- 13:56Speaker 1: the knock you out, be you will bump. You only
- 13:59Speaker 1: got what you got because I went to prison for

- 14:16Speaker 1: come to find out, she was zero. She's zero on
- 14:18Speaker 1: zero on Box Red, so she's a professional fighter. But
- 14:23Speaker 1: she I have came to the gym getting ready to
- 14:25Speaker 1: spar and she in a gym warming up. I'm like,
- 14:28Speaker 1: oh my god, oh she was ready for action. I said,
- 14:30Speaker 1: this is how this is how you. First of all,
- 14:33Speaker 1: I got almost a million followers on social media on Instagram, right,
- 14:37Speaker 1: how can I recognize you out of a million people?
- 14:40Speaker 1: That means you did way too much. That's how I
- 14:44Speaker 1: recognized you. So when I see her, I said, oh, well,
- 14:49Speaker 1: this this girl. And I walk up she and then
- 14:52Speaker 1: I walk up. I'm like, what you're doing here? She's like,

- 15:10Speaker 1: just looking at me, and then she got the yelling,
- 15:12Speaker 1: popping stuff, just talking talking, talking, and everybody was like, Chris,
- 15:16Speaker 1: just go get dressed. I'm like, I'm gonna give you
- 15:17Speaker 1: one round. She was like, try to leave, grab her suitcase.

- 15:37Speaker 1: I gave you rounds. Went there thirty seconds over.
- 15:41Speaker 2: Yeah, one of them punch she I think she realized
- 15:44Speaker 2: she was in over.
- 15:45Speaker 6: Yeah, the first one, probably right.
- 15:50Speaker 2: No more.
- 15:53Speaker 1: Actually, when I hit her, I jumped at her and
- 15:55Speaker 1: she got the bounce and she said, come on with it.
- 15:57Speaker 1: I said, I am just hold on, and then soon
- 16:00Speaker 1: she got right by that corner. It was over. I
- 16:03Speaker 1: hit on a body shot too. I think she kind
- 16:05Speaker 1: of went to the bathroom a little bit.
- 16:09Speaker 3: You never heard from again, No.
- 16:11Speaker 1: She wrote me. She wrote, she said, you're only landed
- 16:17Speaker 1: two shots. I'm like, okay, I'm like, you crazy for show.
- 16:22Speaker 1: And then she was like, why are you untagged.
- 16:24Speaker 3: Me on the post?
- 16:27Speaker 1: I said, because you reported my video I'm trying to
- 16:29Speaker 1: get my Instagram to No. She was like, no, I
- 16:32Speaker 1: didn't do that. I said, yes, you did. You're the
- 16:34Speaker 1: only person who want tag I know you. You reported
- 16:36Speaker 1: my video, so that's why I untagged you. I'm like,
- 16:38Speaker 1: but go on world Star like like they didn't tag you,
- 16:41Speaker 1: but you can tag yourself in the coming because your
- 16:43Speaker 1: dumb ass made World Star.
- 16:46Speaker 2: What means more to you?
- 16:47Speaker 4: Being a world champion at five different weight classes and
- 16:50Speaker 4: winning two Olympic gold medals?
- 16:54Speaker 1: Oh wow? Wow?
- 16:57Speaker 2: Why you that? Cause somebody asked Melo Anthony the same thing.
- 17:01Speaker 1: But you know what, shout out to Mellow, honestly, like,
- 17:10Speaker 1: none of this would be possible without, yeah, my purse?
- 17:14Speaker 2: What at another belt?
- 17:15Speaker 3: Olympic medals in the purse? Yeah?
- 17:16Speaker 1: I carry my stuff around? Wow, epic?
- 17:19Speaker 2: Why do you carry your stuff?
- 17:20Speaker 1: Because who else can pull out the purse? You ain't?
- 17:26Speaker 2: Can I hold it? Yeah?
- 17:28Speaker 1: Heavy?
- 17:29Speaker 6: I can't see the yeah yeah yeah wow.
- 17:34Speaker 4: Because they asked Mellow, what means more like when you
- 17:36Speaker 4: trade his three medals for NBA championship.
- 17:40Speaker 2: That's what they as well.
- 17:41Speaker 1: Honestly, like, none of this would be possible without me
- 17:44Speaker 1: winning the Olympics, right, you know, like me being a
- 17:47Speaker 1: world chapp and all these different way classes. It all
- 17:50Speaker 1: started with winning the Olympics at seventeen twenty twelve, and
- 17:54Speaker 1: then it continued with twenty sixteen. So I feel like
- 17:57Speaker 1: if I wasn't a two time Olympic champion and I
- 17:59Speaker 1: was trying to turn pro without my two Olympic gold medals,
- 18:02Speaker 1: it would have been super hard for me because when
- 18:05Speaker 1: I fought on TV twenty sixteen or seventeen, a woman
- 18:10Speaker 1: hadn't fought on TV in twenty years. Wow, Like a
- 18:13Speaker 1: woman boxer hadn't fought on TV in twenty years, which
- 18:15Speaker 1: is like, I, yeah, I got the I got to
- 18:19Speaker 1: be the one to change the game, but I wouldn't
- 18:21Speaker 1: have been able to get the opportunity, I think, even
- 18:24Speaker 1: though as being a great as a boxer as I am,
- 18:27Speaker 1: if I didn't have the accolades the two Olympic gold
- 18:29Speaker 1: medals to back it up.
- 18:30Speaker 3: What did you think about the Olympics controversy this year?
- 18:34Speaker 4: Oh my god, talking about a main Klifherian boxing. Yeah,
- 18:40Speaker 4: she's a woman, but she tested with X Y chromosomes.
- 18:42Speaker 1: Yes, I'm crazy like that, you know what. Honestly, I
- 18:47Speaker 1: hate that they ran with the whole transgender thing, and
- 18:50Speaker 1: they did what they did to her in the Olympics
- 18:52Speaker 1: because I couldn't imagine me being in the Olympics and
- 18:55Speaker 1: me getting ready to fight and people are like, oh,
- 18:57Speaker 1: you're a man, like I couldn't imagine that, And it's
- 19:00Speaker 1: like the post supposed to be the most exciting time
- 19:03Speaker 1: of her life. So everybody had misinformation. And I think
- 19:08Speaker 1: that she's right to sue whoever started the whole thing.
- 19:11Speaker 1: Like I heard she's suing Eli Musk and somebody else. Yeah,
- 19:14Speaker 1: girl get that money, and she got a gold medal too,
- 19:17Speaker 1: so a congrats to her. But to the girl who like, oh,
- 19:21Speaker 1: she hit me hard than I've ever been hit before.
- 19:23Speaker 1: Soft damn soft, Hang it up. You shouldn't even be
- 19:27Speaker 1: in the ring. I spar against me and I ain't
- 19:30Speaker 1: never been hit at herd where I'm like, let me
- 19:31Speaker 1: get the hell out of here, ever, and I've been
- 19:33Speaker 1: hit you where I couldn't you for three days and
- 19:36Speaker 1: with like a hook, so I'm like, I still didn't
- 19:38Speaker 1: get ot the ring, like, man, yeah, he hit me
- 19:41Speaker 1: so hard. I just what that's soft?
- 19:43Speaker 3: Would you fight him if the money was right?
- 19:48Speaker 6: A man talking to.
- 19:52Speaker 1: You saying Would I fight her? Would she fight me? What?
- 19:57Speaker 1: Come on? Stop playing?
- 19:58Speaker 3: The money was right?
- 19:59Speaker 1: The money, that's right? What are you talking about?
- 20:01Speaker 2: Because you know she's lost like nine times because.
- 20:04Speaker 1: She got a ex ye whatever, She's born a woman,
- 20:07Speaker 1: she's a woman. A woman can't beat me? What that's crazy?
- 20:12Speaker 1: Would you fight her? If I say, line them up
- 20:21Speaker 1: from what I've seen her box and I'm like, she
- 20:24Speaker 1: couldn't beat the seventeen year old Claressa no matter what. Wait,
- 20:28Speaker 1: I think she's like a one forty seven? Please? You
- 20:31Speaker 1: is just crazy?
- 20:31Speaker 2: So you still want to fight a mailboxer?
- 20:34Speaker 1: Some of them they be running their mouth. I still
- 20:35Speaker 1: want to put my hands on.
- 20:36Speaker 2: A few of them. Yeah.
- 20:37Speaker 3: Cool.
- 20:37Speaker 1: In particular Keith Thurman, I want to punch him in
- 20:40Speaker 1: his mouth. And I don't care what y'all say. Jake Paul,
- 20:43Speaker 1: can I beat me in a fight? Stop it did?
- 20:45Speaker 1: You'll watch the fight with Mike Perry skills pett of
- 20:48Speaker 1: bills and Mike Perry was not skilled at all, he argreed,
- 20:52Speaker 1: and muscle Jake Paul he so you him.
- 20:57Speaker 2: I said this before I got Clarissa over. Jake Paul.
- 21:00Speaker 1: Come on, man, you definitely don't think he's gonna be Tyson,
- 21:05Speaker 1: then Tyson fifty eight. We see this is what this
- 21:09Speaker 1: may may be mad with y'all. This is not an
- 21:12Speaker 1: eighteen year old Tyson twenty one thirty, This is fifty eight.
- 21:16Speaker 2: Yeah, he don't get no scrapes. If he beat Mike Tyson,
- 21:18Speaker 2: you probably got.
- 21:19Speaker 1: Like a good one, two, three, good rounds in them.
- 21:21Speaker 1: And if you don't like Jake Paul out, then would
- 21:24Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to fight Jake Paul for really her
- 21:26Speaker 1: uncle Mike Tyson a couple in the ring.
- 21:30Speaker 6: I support that.
- 21:30Speaker 2: Well.
- 21:31Speaker 1: I'm gonna be right front row.
- 21:32Speaker 2: Don't Jake got a woman fighter too. I can't remember
- 21:34Speaker 2: her name. Somebody a woman?
- 21:36Speaker 1: No woman. See, we're not going to Amanda Serrano name.
- 21:43Speaker 1: She thinks she wrote two point zero. But she's the
- 21:45Speaker 1: real deal. Amanda Serrano, seven time division world champ. Uh.
- 21:52Speaker 1: Great fighter, great fighter. I have a lot of respect
- 21:54Speaker 1: for her. Is she a better fighter than me? No?
- 21:57Speaker 2: No?
- 21:57Speaker 1: But uh, Jake Paul tries to call her the quote
- 22:02Speaker 1: and that's because he don't like me. But I'm gonna
- 22:05Speaker 1: keep shining on him and showing him like you got
- 22:08Speaker 1: baby quote big quote over here?
- 22:11Speaker 2: Is that a fight? That will ever happen?
- 22:13Speaker 1: Is she want to come to forty seven or fifty five? Yeah?
- 22:15Speaker 2: She has now forty forty Okay, she.
- 22:18Speaker 1: Went she came all the way from like one eighteen,
- 22:20Speaker 1: when one twelve and got all the titles from like
- 22:23Speaker 1: one eighteen? What is it? I think it's one eighteen
- 22:26Speaker 1: twenty six when thirty one thirty five, one forty Yeah,
- 22:31Speaker 1: I got it right.
- 22:31Speaker 2: Why you don't like you just because you be telling
- 22:33Speaker 2: them you a woman? Yeah?
- 22:35Speaker 1: And I said, I will never fight on the undercard
- 22:36Speaker 1: of him. He's not a world champion. How are you
- 22:39Speaker 1: mad at that? He's not an ex world champion either.
- 22:42Speaker 1: You're not gonna have to go fighting on an under
- 22:43Speaker 1: cardinal damn, Jake Paul. I don't care how big he
- 22:45Speaker 1: is or how many fans you got.
- 22:47Speaker 2: No, but that's because you are. You're an actual boxer,
- 22:50Speaker 2: so you respect the sport.
- 22:51Speaker 1: So I'm an actual champion champion. Yeah. I don't even
- 22:55Speaker 1: think a Mani Toround should be fighting undercard of him,
- 22:57Speaker 1: But it's like like that's her choice. A Manda Toronto
- 23:00Speaker 1: wasn't really that big till she got with Jake Paul,
- 23:02Speaker 1: so I think she's super grateful. For him, But in
- 23:05Speaker 1: real life, in real time, you're a seven time division
- 23:08Speaker 1: world champion, He's not. You should always be the top
- 23:12Speaker 1: of the bill to show like that respect to the sport.
- 23:15Speaker 1: But hey, if she liked being on the under cart,
- 23:18Speaker 1: go ahead. But I'm not being on the car. Nobody
- 23:20Speaker 1: but champions, you know, champions, and that's Terrence Crawford, of course, Stevenson,
- 23:29Speaker 1: Devin Haney, guys like that, Canelosi. I'm not.
- 23:35Speaker 4: I'm not being on the car, Jake Paul, Who you got, Davis?
- 23:41Speaker 1: You don't know me already? I got your core, I
- 23:45Speaker 1: got It's not Tank. See, this is what I want
- 23:49Speaker 1: people to understand. Like, I'm not. I'm I'm not a
- 23:51Speaker 1: tank hater. People think that I am because we had
- 23:53Speaker 1: our little dispute or whatever. But Noah, like I love
- 23:55Speaker 1: our tank box. The dude got power, He explosive, he
- 23:59Speaker 1: fast sh the dude, he the full package. I think
- 24:03Speaker 1: that's your cor is a better boxer now Withish your
- 24:06Speaker 1: court had to be on his a game to beat Jamonte. Yes,
- 24:09Speaker 1: I grew up. I came up in the amateurs with
- 24:11Speaker 1: Dravonte when we were like silver gloves and all that
- 24:15Speaker 1: stuff together. He used to get out boxing the amateurs.
- 24:19Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. But he was always a powerhouse,
- 24:21Speaker 1: always the strongest, always explosive, but guys could still beat him.
- 24:27Speaker 1: I think Court has to start to beat him, and
- 24:28Speaker 1: people are and the court it's tougher than what everybody
- 24:31Speaker 1: giving him credit for. Charkourt is the hell of a boxer,
- 24:35Speaker 1: and I don't it'd be a tough fight for both
- 24:38Speaker 1: of them, but I think that's your core will come
- 24:40Speaker 1: on on top, especially if he can avoid getting hit
- 24:43Speaker 1: and make them pay. That's what I've been talking to
- 24:45Speaker 1: sort about. Yeah, you make them miss, but make these
- 24:47Speaker 1: dudes pay when they missed. Nobody should be swinging at
- 24:50Speaker 1: you and then nothing coming back. These guys should be
- 24:53Speaker 1: getting tatted up. So I feel like if he can
- 24:55Speaker 1: do that good versus Dravonte, I feel like he can win.
- 24:58Speaker 2: But man if him though, that's the biggest thing.
- 25:02Speaker 1: We I mean, you got to touch it more than
- 25:04Speaker 1: once too. We ain't never seen the quirk get dropped.
- 25:07Speaker 1: He got chanting.
- 25:08Speaker 4: Defense is a mac That's why people say he's a
- 25:09Speaker 4: boring fighter. I'm like, nah, he's just a defensive fighter.
- 25:13Speaker 1: Yeah, but defense is he max? I don't know what
- 25:14Speaker 1: everybody was talking about at the fighter been Jersey. But
- 25:17Speaker 1: I had a great time. I was in the second row.
- 25:21Speaker 1: I was like doing like live commentating from out listen.
- 25:24Speaker 1: He was whooping that dude. And then when the dude
- 25:26Speaker 1: got on his wheels, I was screaming because only time
- 25:29Speaker 1: about the Corbett on his wheels. Now he backing homeboy
- 25:31Speaker 1: up and got him running and ain't nobody give us
- 25:34Speaker 1: the cording on props all but but he ain't knocked
- 25:37Speaker 1: him out, so he beat him up.
- 25:40Speaker 3: About Canelo, Bologa, what's your dad? What's your thoughts?
- 25:44Speaker 1: Hm? Hm ah. I wish Canelo was fighting against me
- 25:48Speaker 1: of you this. Yeah, I don't think that Bolonga is
- 25:52Speaker 1: a strong fighter. An that's a good fighter and he's
- 25:54Speaker 1: my friend. I just think that you don't have enough
- 25:57Speaker 1: experience to be in there with somebody. What is Canelo
- 25:59Speaker 1: fifty and something? Yeah, I don't know. I think that
- 26:02Speaker 1: belonger is young and stuff, but I think his experience
- 26:06Speaker 1: is gonna be his downfall in that in that fight.
- 26:08Speaker 1: But he can't use this, you know, you from trying
- 26:10Speaker 1: to come out there strong and hard and push the
- 26:12Speaker 1: fight early and maybe get Canelo tired to where his
- 26:14Speaker 1: power don't be that effective. But no, I think I
- 26:18Speaker 1: think Canelo gonna do that. But I want to see
- 26:20Speaker 1: Canelo versus going to be there. That's the fight.
- 26:22Speaker 4: You got your text, your text ready to December longer
- 26:25Speaker 4: after the fight, like keep your head up.
- 26:26Speaker 2: When one door closes, another one opens.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Nah you when I hit you with that, you know,
- 26:34Speaker 1: you know, like all right, No, I just know like
- 26:37Speaker 1: some fights is to be a long car ride home
- 26:39Speaker 1: in silence, and I think, you know, he may have
- 26:43Speaker 1: to experience that, but hopefully you got some good people
- 26:45Speaker 1: around the where it's a good little ride. Put some
- 26:47Speaker 1: music on and stuff.
- 26:48Speaker 4: I was looking at box raw and they had you
- 26:50Speaker 4: as the number two greatest woman's boxer of all time
- 26:55Speaker 4: behind no box box raw boxraw dot com. Oh okay, okay, yeah,
- 27:00Speaker 4: behind Lucilla rich kerr Riker Riker.
- 27:04Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Okay, you know, I don't know who. I've
- 27:06Speaker 2: never heard of. Lucia Riker. He was seventeen to fourteen.
- 27:10Speaker 1: K Yeah, yeah, Lucia Riker was back in the day.
- 27:13Speaker 1: She's not a better fighter than me, but I mean
- 27:17Speaker 1: it's not a bad place to be number two to her.
- 27:19Speaker 1: I guess she's one of my favorite female fighters.
- 27:22Speaker 4: What do you think you would have to do that
- 27:23Speaker 4: for them to put you at number one?
- 27:26Speaker 1: I don't even care. It's a list of somebody who
- 27:31Speaker 1: made it up, who probably never boxed before. I don't know,
- 27:34Speaker 1: but I know as far as in me. You watch
- 27:37Speaker 1: Lucilla tape, and you watch my you watch my tapes,
- 27:40Speaker 1: and you watch all the other girls tapes, and you
- 27:43Speaker 1: look and you see what I can do and what
- 27:45Speaker 1: they can do, and I believe I come out on
- 27:47Speaker 1: top every time. If you're looking at it from a
- 27:50Speaker 1: boxing standpoint. Now, if you're looking at it you like
- 27:53Speaker 1: my personality or my trash talk or all that stuff,
- 27:56Speaker 1: then maybe you be like, oh, yeah, she's not lady like,
- 27:58Speaker 1: let me bring her numbers down whatever. But if you're
- 28:01Speaker 1: looking at from just boxing standpoint, I box like I
- 28:04Speaker 1: box so good that Terrence called me twin. So that's
- 28:08Speaker 1: the difference. Yeah, people get at you about like your
- 28:11Speaker 1: personality and you and you know that because I love it. Yeah, heavy,
- 28:15Speaker 1: people be you know, everybody can't talk like how I talk,
- 28:18Speaker 1: and it definitely came back it up. So I think
- 28:19Speaker 1: it comes off to be intimidating to them, and they
- 28:23Speaker 1: wish that they can be like me. But does it
- 28:26Speaker 1: heighten in the ring, like do you have an alter ego?
- 28:28Speaker 1: Or is it like, oh yeah, what you mean Claressa
- 28:32Speaker 1: right now? But Clrenzo is who I am inside the ring. Yeah, Clrenzo,
- 28:40Speaker 1: do not play like I start transforming in a locker room. Actually,
- 28:43Speaker 1: like the week of the fight, so Clrenzo be trying
- 28:45Speaker 1: to come out sometime and then like my assistant be
- 28:49Speaker 1: like Clrenzo, chill up. I'm all right, Like Clrenzo is
- 28:54Speaker 1: uh actually maybe maybe Clrenzo was like eight and mon CULI.
- 29:00Speaker 1: You know, it's not I don't say that Karenso is
- 29:02Speaker 1: a man. I don't say that Karenso is a woman.
- 29:04Speaker 1: It's just a person who I get inside the ring,
- 29:07Speaker 1: and I'm just myself, So I don't really put like
- 29:10Speaker 1: a gender on. I don't know if that's weird, but yeah,
- 29:13Speaker 1: I just don't put a gender on. I'm just going
- 29:14Speaker 1: there and inside of the ring, I can be who
- 29:17Speaker 1: I really want to be. I don't have to, you know,
- 29:19Speaker 1: be nobody else. Or I think it's actually hard for
- 29:22Speaker 1: me to be nice because so many people get on
- 29:24Speaker 1: my nerves and I'm always having to be nice to them,
- 29:29Speaker 1: in life, people get on my nerves. I don't. I
- 29:31Speaker 1: don't like you the nicest people, Yes I am, but
- 29:35Speaker 1: it's just like I do have to keep the peace, honestly.
- 29:43Speaker 1: Like some stuff, I'd be like Chris would just let
- 29:45Speaker 1: it go, don't even say nothing, because soon as somebody
- 29:48Speaker 1: do something I don't like, I'd be like, hold on,
- 29:50Speaker 1: I gotta check you right there in there. I can't
- 29:52Speaker 1: wait till tomorrow or the moment is like I gotta
- 29:55Speaker 1: get you right there in there. And people be with
- 29:57Speaker 1: this whole business. You gotta be professional and to keep
- 30:00Speaker 1: it cool. And that's actually like it'd be hard for
- 30:04Speaker 1: me to do.
- 30:05Speaker 6: You feel like you have to do that because you're
- 30:06Speaker 6: a woman fighter, because I don't.
- 30:09Speaker 1: I do that because I'm a professional. And also to
- 30:12Speaker 1: like I hurt people feelings like as you can see,
- 30:14Speaker 1: I don't buy my tongue or nothing like that, and
- 30:18Speaker 1: I don't even want to buy my tongue. It is
- 30:20Speaker 1: what it is.
- 30:21Speaker 4: When does the t Rex come out? When does the
- 30:25Speaker 4: t Rex come out? They still call you t Rex?
- 30:27Speaker 1: Right, it's the quote now.
- 30:29Speaker 2: Okay, so you don't even use the t reck game, Okay.
- 30:33Speaker 1: But people still call me that fifty call me that
- 30:37Speaker 1: you called me that in Close the shields Now. I
- 30:39Speaker 1: met fifty in Shreeport.
- 30:41Speaker 3: That's the first time I met So.
- 30:43Speaker 1: I met fifty here at the bar class. It was
- 30:46Speaker 1: a fight going on, but he just saw me and
- 30:50Speaker 1: was like t Rex, and I was like, but I
- 30:53Speaker 1: won't ever get no picture. I weren't really able to
- 30:55Speaker 1: holler at him, you know what I'm saying. I was
- 30:57Speaker 1: able to actually talk to him and holler at him
- 30:58Speaker 1: up in Streeport. So I'm happy that he followed me
- 31:01Speaker 1: from then till now.
- 31:04Speaker 2: And you have a bio pic coming up, a real movie.
- 31:07Speaker 2: It's gonna be. It's ain't no TV shit. It's on.
- 31:11Speaker 2: It's called The Fire Inside.
- 31:12Speaker 4: It's directed by Barry Jenkins and stars Ryan Destiny.
- 31:16Speaker 2: How did that all come about?
- 31:19Speaker 1: Oh no, that's crazy. They saw the movie t Rex,
- 31:23Speaker 1: my documentary, which was very raw and it's me I'm
- 31:27Speaker 1: being followed around at school to the Olympics and my
- 31:30Speaker 1: one loss in my home life. So they saw that
- 31:34Speaker 1: and they wanted to redo that, but in a movie way.
- 31:39Speaker 2: So who saw it? Barry Jenkins?
- 31:41Speaker 1: I think Barry Jenkins saw yes, And at the time
- 31:44Speaker 1: First University Studios picked it up then with COVID and
- 31:47Speaker 1: everything happened. MGM Studios picked it up. Wow, so that's
- 31:52Speaker 1: what I have the movie now. It dropped on Christmas
- 31:55Speaker 1: all over theaters in the world, actually not just the USA,
- 32:00Speaker 1: but man, it's crazy. So they were asking me who
- 32:03Speaker 1: I thought should play me. I thought my Fista William
- 32:05Speaker 1: should play me. That's right, yeah, like I love her.
- 32:08Speaker 1: I love her same year I thought she should play me.
- 32:13Speaker 1: But then they were like, oh, we did her, we
- 32:16Speaker 1: did Ryan Destiny, we did a few others, and I
- 32:19Speaker 1: was hoping. I was just like, I don't want to
- 32:20Speaker 1: be a Kecky Palmer. It's nothing I don't like Key Pomer.
- 32:23Speaker 1: It's just that she plays in every sports movie when
- 32:25Speaker 1: it's a woman. So I'm like, not kiky Palmer, That's
- 32:27Speaker 1: all I was thinking. But I didn't say that if
- 32:29Speaker 1: it would have been her out and just happy. But
- 32:32Speaker 1: I don't think anybody could have portrayed me better than
- 32:34Speaker 1: Ryan Destiny. She's from Detroit, dark skin like me, great skin,
- 32:42Speaker 1: very nice person, beautiful.
- 32:45Speaker 2: How much time does you have to spell with you?
- 32:47Speaker 1: We spent a lot of time on FaceTime when she
- 32:49Speaker 1: was doing like her scenes and stuff. She would call
- 32:53Speaker 1: me like, hey, I'm doing this scene. It got me
- 32:54Speaker 1: and your mom in it. Like, can you explain to me, well,
- 32:57Speaker 1: how your relationship was she said, because my like this.
- 33:00Speaker 1: I'm like, no relationship was like this. And she's like okay, okay.
- 33:06Speaker 1: She had to train boxing for about a year because
- 33:09Speaker 1: I tell them, whatever y'all do, do not play with
- 33:11Speaker 1: my boxing. Please don't. If if I see this film
- 33:16Speaker 1: in my in her boxing is bad, y'all might as
- 33:18Speaker 1: gonna hear and wrap it up. And they were like,
- 33:20Speaker 1: oh no, well, ron I said, have her trained, get
- 33:25Speaker 1: her ready, and they and they got already. She trained
- 33:27Speaker 1: with the guy who was it for Black Panther, who
- 33:31Speaker 1: trained the people for Black Panthers. So that's what he's
- 33:33Speaker 1: trained with. I don't know his name, sorry, but that's
- 33:36Speaker 1: what you told me. She trained with and he got
- 33:38Speaker 1: her together. When you see the film, you're gonna be
- 33:40Speaker 1: like wow. And it was and they did a great
- 33:43Speaker 1: job with the storytelling and everything. Shout outs to Berry Jenkins.
- 33:46Speaker 2: I spent went to Oscar, did Moonlight, Bad Bill Street,
- 33:50Speaker 2: and No Joke.
- 33:52Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time with him. We talked
- 33:55Speaker 1: for like three four hours and he was like, so
- 33:57Speaker 1: tell me about your life story or what do you
- 33:59Speaker 1: want to be portray? And I did. I told him,
- 34:03Speaker 1: and man did he do. He did a better job
- 34:07Speaker 1: than I ever could have explained my story. The only
- 34:09Speaker 1: thing that I didn't like one thing. I've been whopping
- 34:13Speaker 1: these boys since I was eleven years old. I ain't
- 34:16Speaker 1: lying to you. The first time I started, I bust
- 34:18Speaker 1: the boy up. They got in a movie at the
- 34:22Speaker 1: beginning where it shows me as a young girl in
- 34:24Speaker 1: the gym with all boys, which was true, but it
- 34:27Speaker 1: showed me in the gym where I think I got
- 34:29Speaker 1: beat up or something, or like a boy was taking
- 34:31Speaker 1: it easy on me and he was to beat me up.
- 34:33Speaker 1: Never happened, Never happened, No one thing didn't happen.
- 34:37Speaker 4: How did they explain that to you? We got to
- 34:39Speaker 4: do this for the story dramatic effect.
- 34:41Speaker 1: I just that was they spin on it. But I said,
- 34:44Speaker 1: you guys have to know, like I've been dominant in
- 34:47Speaker 1: boxing since I started, I've always known how to fight.
- 34:50Speaker 1: I didn't know how to box, but when I channeled
- 34:53Speaker 1: my anger to my boxing, everything turned out good.
- 34:56Speaker 3: Is there one person that beat you as a kid
- 34:57Speaker 3: that you'd be like, I gotta go see him like
- 34:58Speaker 3: maybe when you attend.
- 35:01Speaker 1: Which means I gotta go see him.
- 35:02Speaker 2: I gotta fight him, like he.
- 35:03Speaker 3: Beat you up and when you were nine ten be
- 35:04Speaker 3: like I got I need my get back.
- 35:06Speaker 1: No, it's Savannah Marshall be men and amateurs. I was
- 35:10Speaker 1: seventy seven wins one loss of the amateurs, and I
- 35:12Speaker 1: always told her I'm gonna get you back. And I
- 35:14Speaker 1: got her back. Ten years later. I beat there for
- 35:16Speaker 1: the Unspirited Championship in front of two many people watching worldwide,
- 35:20Speaker 1: the most watched women's boxing fight of all time, and
- 35:23Speaker 1: I beat her in front of twenty thousand of her
- 35:25Speaker 1: fans in the UK at the Old Two Arena. It
- 35:27Speaker 1: was a bittersweet, feeling better, sweet.
- 35:29Speaker 3: Only person ever beat you.
- 35:32Speaker 1: Yep.
- 35:32Speaker 2: And the movie will be out Christmas. Man, I can't
- 35:35Speaker 2: wait to see. I can't wait to see.
- 35:36Speaker 1: Now?
- 35:37Speaker 2: Was it hard to watch?
- 35:38Speaker 1: What? I was shook? Just the whole time? I'm just like,
- 35:43Speaker 1: what's going on? What's going on? I'm looking at it
- 35:46Speaker 1: and Ryan's playing me so good, but I'm looking at
- 35:48Speaker 1: It's kind of like I have to relive all this
- 35:50Speaker 1: stuff that I've I mean, I've moved on from her.
- 35:53Speaker 1: That I'm not involved with anymore, you know, so watching it,
- 35:56Speaker 1: I'm like, dang, it was rough back then. We did
- 35:59Speaker 1: have to go without this that we did, Like this
- 36:02Speaker 1: did happen? You know, you did win win a Olympic
- 36:05Speaker 1: gold medal and came back home to not one endorsement,
- 36:08Speaker 1: not one. You didn't make, no front covers or no magazines,
- 36:13Speaker 1: didn't get on endorsements. You got fifty K for winning
- 36:17Speaker 1: your gold medal, and you got a fifty k bonus
- 36:19Speaker 1: of being the only person to win a gold medal
- 36:20Speaker 1: for ten USA, but you didn't get I came back
- 36:23Speaker 1: to the same house US, I went to school. I
- 36:29Speaker 1: didn't really have any thing. Basically, I just had my
- 36:32Speaker 1: gold medal and a little money I won, but in
- 36:34Speaker 1: some Olympic clothes.
- 36:35Speaker 3: But that's it.
- 36:36Speaker 4: Was it because you're black, a woman, bad representation, which
- 36:39Speaker 4: one combination all three.
- 36:42Speaker 1: You know, when I think about it now and I
- 36:45Speaker 1: say this, you know, humbly, I think about it now
- 36:47Speaker 1: that it just wasn't my time. You know, I think
- 36:50Speaker 1: that all I wanted to do was be a great boxer.
- 36:54Speaker 1: I didn't care about the image, the look. You know,
- 36:58Speaker 1: he straight hair should talk, which is to say what
- 37:01Speaker 1: you wouldn't say say I only cared about winning the
- 37:05Speaker 1: Olympic gold medal. That's why when I had my hair braided,
- 37:08Speaker 1: I left one braid out, just my hair sticking up,
- 37:10Speaker 1: because I want the word fro like Sugary Leonard. But
- 37:13Speaker 1: the USA team would not allow it. The USA box
- 37:16Speaker 1: and they were like, no, y'all, get your hold y'all,
- 37:17Speaker 1: get your hair braided. So when they got to their
- 37:18Speaker 1: last breast, leave it out. I got if I could
- 37:20Speaker 1: be somehow, and I think that I just didn't have
- 37:27Speaker 1: I didn't have people around me that were knowledgeable of
- 37:30Speaker 1: the whole image part of it, you know so, and
- 37:33Speaker 1: it really didn't matter to me either. My only goal
- 37:35Speaker 1: was to win the gold medal, and I did that. Now,
- 37:38Speaker 1: going to my second Olympics, I had everything. I had
- 37:40Speaker 1: magazine covers, I had endorsement deal sponsorships, I had a
- 37:45Speaker 1: lot of things going. I was able to carry on
- 37:47Speaker 1: to the pros.
- 37:48Speaker 3: What was your first endorsement The first person that stepped
- 37:50Speaker 3: up and said we want to do business with you.
- 37:52Speaker 1: Was it Dick Sporting Goods? I think it was Dick
- 37:54Speaker 1: Sporting Goods. And then I had to deal with under
- 37:56Speaker 1: Armor for their shoes I had to deal with with
- 38:00Speaker 1: power aid.
- 38:04Speaker 3: But Dix was the first one to step up.
- 38:06Speaker 1: I think Dix was the first one to step up.
- 38:07Speaker 2: Yep, you're not gonna pall that.
- 38:09Speaker 1: You just dick board good.
- 38:11Speaker 2: No, no, you don't got to fall that.
- 38:12Speaker 4: He got a Dix wasn't the first one to step up,
- 38:14Speaker 4: Like God damn Jesus.
- 38:18Speaker 2: And now you got the Faces of Boxing podcast.
- 38:20Speaker 3: Yeah, you got your Michael.
- 38:26Speaker 2: Yeah, so he ready to box.
- 38:32Speaker 1: He worked out. Yeah. So this is Carl from Atlanta,
- 38:41Speaker 1: one of the one of the owners and co hosts
- 38:44Speaker 1: of the Face of the Boxing Podcast TV. I actually
- 38:48Speaker 1: gave him the floor. We met in Atlanta during my
- 38:51Speaker 1: during my training camp. This is one of the coaches
- 38:53Speaker 1: that hooked me up with the sporing. Shout out him
- 38:56Speaker 1: for having Dimitrius come and that's why I called a
- 38:58Speaker 1: bear that roughed me up. But we both agree that
- 39:00Speaker 1: towards the end of the camp I was rough and
- 39:02Speaker 1: bear up. But I actually thank him for lantaut the
- 39:05Speaker 1: red carpet and being a huge part of my camp.
- 39:07Speaker 1: And now we're gonna do some episodes together on the
- 39:09Speaker 1: Face to Boxing Podcast TV. And then yeah, go and
- 39:12Speaker 1: give me your spell.
- 39:13Speaker 5: So I am coach Cairo out of Hissfield Boxing Gym
- 39:17Speaker 5: is where they know me at out in Atlanta, Georgia.
- 39:20Speaker 5: If you ever in Georgia, definitely stopped by his field
- 39:23Speaker 5: Boxton Gym and shout out to all my partners Brian Byron,
- 39:28Speaker 5: Manew Jones, Salute yaw because they opened the doors. But
- 39:31Speaker 5: I'll be honest with you, man, the biggest door that
- 39:34Speaker 5: got open was the big quote herself. I just you know,
- 39:39Speaker 5: I stopped everything I was doing. I was training heavy
- 39:42Speaker 5: because it dates back to twenty seventeen. I started my
- 39:45Speaker 5: fitness company called Greenhouse Fitness, and you know this is
- 39:48Speaker 5: a company where I'm training celebrities. I'm training athletes, even
- 39:53Speaker 5: exotic you know, dancers in Atlanta, Magic Cities, follies. Man,
- 39:57Speaker 5: I was known as the BBL trainer. At one point
- 40:00Speaker 5: he was looking at me like, man, you're training all
- 40:01Speaker 5: these girls with BBL.
- 40:02Speaker 4: That's why they saw an athletic in Atlanta on them poles
- 40:06Speaker 4: in the world.
- 40:07Speaker 2: You know.
- 40:08Speaker 5: But to be honest, just because you got a BBO
- 40:10Speaker 5: dow on me, you can't work out. They still keep
- 40:12Speaker 5: themselves in shape. So we grinding, you know, and I'm
- 40:14Speaker 5: a family man. So Mary kids, it gets kind of hectic.
- 40:18Speaker 5: So I'm like, look, let me transition back into my passion,
- 40:21Speaker 5: which was boxing since I.
- 40:22Speaker 2: Was a kid. Uh.
- 40:24Speaker 5: You know my my cousin, cousin Butch, she like seventy
- 40:27Speaker 5: five now, he used to sparrel with a Lei's and
- 40:30Speaker 5: the greatest. He just never made it. So in my situation,
- 40:33Speaker 5: I said, let me get in boxing, but let me
- 40:35Speaker 5: do it from the pad work side. Let me get
- 40:37Speaker 5: into the coaching side. And it was just a beautiful thing.
- 40:40Speaker 5: So we start the gym, Hissfield Boxing Gym. They give
- 40:43Speaker 5: me the phone call. They say, look, Clarissa Shields, she
- 40:46Speaker 5: want to come out to y'all gym and she want
- 40:48Speaker 5: to start her training camp in Atlanta for her big fight.
- 40:51Speaker 5: And I said, huh who They said, Clarissa Shields. I said,
- 40:54Speaker 5: all I'm dropping everything I'm doing and I'm coming right
- 40:57Speaker 5: to her aid with open orange, with big arms. I'm
- 40:59Speaker 5: coming big arms. So uh she come out, Uh shout
- 41:06Speaker 5: out coast Tie. That's my dog, my brother, he put
- 41:09Speaker 5: it all together too, he got the sparring. Uh.
- 41:11Speaker 2: One of my.
- 41:12Speaker 5: Fighters, Demetrius big Bear dem right, he was the guy
- 41:15Speaker 5: who I told him, go rougher up, push her backer
- 41:18Speaker 5: up against the rope. So you told him go hard,
- 41:20Speaker 5: Like I told him to go hard because I knew
- 41:22Speaker 5: she was fighting a twelve round fight with a bigger woman.
- 41:25Speaker 5: So my mind, I'm like, bro, you're gonna have to
- 41:28Speaker 5: go hard on her and just push her. He's pushing
- 41:30Speaker 5: her against the ropes literally the whole fight the first
- 41:32Speaker 5: time they spared. And but mind you, she's doing the
- 41:35Speaker 5: same thing, bobbing, weaving on the ropes. So come fight night,
- 41:39Speaker 5: I'm knowing she's ready. The same exact things sparring happened
- 41:44Speaker 5: in the fight.
- 41:45Speaker 1: You won credit so bad, but I'm I said, thank you,
- 41:51Speaker 1: thank you man.
- 41:52Speaker 5: I'm like, I'm a genius because I knew this what
- 41:55Speaker 5: she needed. And she didn't back down. She said no,
- 41:57Speaker 5: like tell him to come on, like I really want
- 41:58Speaker 5: to fight him. She didn't back She didn't not one
- 42:01Speaker 5: time turn it down.

- 42:04Speaker 1: easy and sporing, It's like, no, nobody job is to
- 42:07Speaker 1: not out their sparing partner. But can't no dude getting

- 43:52Speaker 5: want to know who's the face of boxing, right and
- 43:54Speaker 5: we know it's questionable. They're gonna say Canelo, they gonna
- 43:58Speaker 5: say Bud Crawford, they might say Tank, but guess what
- 44:01Speaker 5: in a woman's faces a boxing is the big quote.
- 44:04Speaker 5: So it's like you can't just leave out the many
- 44:06Speaker 5: different faces. So that's why the name just stuck because
- 44:09Speaker 5: everybody want to know who's the face. But guess what
- 44:11Speaker 5: is many different faces? It is. I trained with professional
- 44:14Speaker 5: fighters Elijah Pears. He has a fight in Atlanta August
- 44:16Speaker 5: thirtieth at the Ote Arena, Tito Lopez and Brian Norman
- 44:20Speaker 5: Junior out of Atlanta, the WBO champ that y'all may
- 44:23Speaker 5: not know right now, but he just got the strap
- 44:25Speaker 5: because Crawford moved up. So now he's elevated the champ
- 44:28Speaker 5: and he fights at our gym. So the city is
- 44:31Speaker 5: about to be lit. Atlanta's about to be lit when
- 44:32Speaker 5: she come back to State far Marena. We want to
- 44:34Speaker 5: sell that joint out and have a big, crazy card,
- 44:37Speaker 5: and Atlanta's embracing her like no weether like is just
- 44:40Speaker 5: the love is what all brought us together. It wasn't
- 44:43Speaker 5: even about the money to finance. It's about the legacy
- 44:45Speaker 5: and the history supporting her in her journey. So that's
- 44:48Speaker 5: really all already been. But as far as the podcast,
- 44:52Speaker 5: y'all saluted and y'all definitely put a stamp on it.
- 44:55Speaker 5: I appreciate y'all for having.
- 44:56Speaker 4: Us absolutely yep. How important is it for boxing the good?
- 45:00Speaker 4: It was like that, like they have their own media platform.
- 45:03Speaker 1: It's very important, you know. When I first, when I
- 45:06Speaker 1: first turned pro, I had two Olympic gold medals, and
- 45:09Speaker 1: I think that my story was the angry black uh
- 45:13Speaker 1: woman who was raped when she was a kid and
- 45:15Speaker 1: she hate men and and now she had to learn
- 45:17Speaker 1: how to fight to defend herself from men, and she
- 45:19Speaker 1: just hate everybody I had. I had a terrible image,
- 45:22Speaker 1: like and I didn't realize how terrible it was until
- 45:25Speaker 1: I was winning all these fights and I had all
- 45:27Speaker 1: these world titles and at the beginning, and one of
- 45:30Speaker 1: my fans was like, I'm a little scared of you,
- 45:33Speaker 1: And I was like, what you mean, because, like DJ
- 45:36Speaker 1: dj Vy said, I'm the nicest person ever.
- 45:38Speaker 3: The nicest every time I see, so nice and so
- 45:40Speaker 3: lovely to take pictures with everybody you speak, I do
- 45:43Speaker 3: write no. So she was upstairs in the room. I
- 45:49Speaker 3: was like, I pring the crussle down. I'm like, she's
- 45:51Speaker 3: down talking to people, taking picture. Just the nicest person ever. Yeah.
- 45:54Speaker 1: So That's how I've always been. But how I was portrayed.
- 45:58Speaker 1: And I have to say it was show Time that
- 46:00Speaker 1: was portraying because they had all the stuff. They were
- 46:03Speaker 1: the ones putting out the the videos, and when they're
- 46:08Speaker 1: putting out videos, if you winning a fight and then
- 46:10Speaker 1: a girl jumping in the ring in your face and
- 46:11Speaker 1: you ready to whoop her and whoop her brother and
- 46:13Speaker 1: whoop her team, it makes you look like you're angry.
- 46:15Speaker 1: But it was like, no, I'm just zero tolerance, a
- 46:17Speaker 1: bull crap and I don't like disrespect. But once that
- 46:22Speaker 1: one fan told me that they were scared of me,
- 46:24Speaker 1: and I was going to all these other events and
- 46:26Speaker 1: I would see fans looking at me and they would
- 46:27Speaker 1: be scared to approach me. I had to make it
- 46:29Speaker 1: known like I am not, I am not that, I
- 46:33Speaker 1: am not mad angry. I had my trials and tribulations
- 46:37Speaker 1: when I was.
- 46:38Speaker 6: A kid, but nah, this ain't that.
- 46:40Speaker 1: Like I'm a woman first, Like I love my fans.
- 46:43Speaker 1: I love like walk up to walk up to me,
- 46:46Speaker 1: get a picture, get a video, and I'll do a
- 46:49Speaker 1: drop for you whatever. Just you ain't gotta be scared
- 46:51Speaker 1: of me. Because if you only be in tim that
- 46:54Speaker 1: are scared of me, if you think you're gonna fight me,
- 46:57Speaker 1: because that's my switch cook, you know that's not click on.
- 46:59Speaker 1: But nah, gotta be scared of me. So that's why
- 47:02Speaker 1: now like I feel like now it's like beauty and
- 47:05Speaker 1: boxing for me, like I show my beautiful side and
- 47:08Speaker 1: my funny side and my good side, but also too
- 47:10Speaker 1: in the ring. I can't help this. I can't help
- 47:13Speaker 1: but show you that I'm a beast for real. But
- 47:16Speaker 1: that's just my job. At the end of the day,
- 47:18Speaker 1: I'm still a beautiful woman. I want children, I want
- 47:21Speaker 1: a family. I want to have kids. Boxing just my passion,
- 47:24Speaker 1: Like I just love fighting, But that doesn't mean that
- 47:27Speaker 1: I want to be a man. I don't want to
- 47:28Speaker 1: be no man, even in his next lifetime. I think
- 47:31Speaker 1: my life has been a little bit easier if I
- 47:33Speaker 1: was a man, you know. But I don't want to
- 47:35Speaker 1: be a man like.
- 47:37Speaker 2: You're gonna take off to have kids.
- 47:40Speaker 1: Take off. No, I'm gonna train off through my pregnancy. Yeah,
- 47:46Speaker 1: I'm not gonna spark, but I'm gonna train like work out,
- 47:50Speaker 1: but no sparring with the big guy against the ropes.
- 47:55Speaker 1: I'm not about to lose this body for no kids.
- 47:57Speaker 1: I gotta work out. Listen, after I have my kids,
- 48:00Speaker 1: they're not gonna have no fat mom. I'm sorry I
- 48:03Speaker 1: talk like I cried on fipe of jokes. I mean, Lord,
- 48:07Speaker 1: forgive me, but I've heard about this and You're terrible.
- 48:16Speaker 1: You're terrible. I'm saying that for me, Like, do not
- 48:21Speaker 1: come talking trash to me and you fail because I
- 48:25Speaker 1: got some jokes for you. You fail, leave me alone
- 48:29Speaker 1: because I can crack up a couple joking jokes I'm
- 48:32Speaker 1: gonna make. I'm gonna make you want to fight me, Like, no,
- 48:34Speaker 1: So I can't be a fat person because people blaze
- 48:37Speaker 1: on me. My feelings hurt because you know, karma don't
- 48:39Speaker 1: miss nobody can do You get that cause you're so
- 48:43Speaker 1: successful what you do and you're in such a great
- 48:45Speaker 1: place in life and you do want to have kids.
- 48:47Speaker 1: Do you get the same pressures that like, like I
- 48:49Speaker 1: get pressured like when are you having kids? But like
- 48:51Speaker 1: your success is like you physically have to be available
- 48:54Speaker 1: for your success. Does your family pressure you in that
- 48:56Speaker 1: way even though you have to be physically like in
- 48:59Speaker 1: a in like world to be successful?
- 49:01Speaker 6: Still if that makes sense?
- 49:03Speaker 1: Yeah, I get asked all the time and I'm gonna
- 49:04Speaker 1: have my kids, and I feel like it's really a
- 49:07Speaker 1: thing with me. I've planned out my whole life at
- 49:09Speaker 1: the age of thirteen, like I'm gonna go to Olympics.
- 49:11Speaker 1: Then I won't even live in like at the age
- 49:12Speaker 1: a ten and go back to Limpsy, and I said,
- 49:14Speaker 1: I'm gonna turn pro. I wanna be undisputed. So I've
- 49:16Speaker 1: always planned my life out how I wanted it to be.
- 49:19Speaker 1: I've been gonna do that with kids. And my thing
- 49:22Speaker 1: was at first, like I want to be married. You know.
- 49:25Speaker 1: It seems like I've been engaged, you know, But I've
- 49:32Speaker 1: been engaged.
- 49:33Speaker 6: Wow, But.
- 49:38Speaker 1: Marriage like walking down the aisle and jumping across the
- 49:41Speaker 1: room and putting up with somebody forever. It's like, I
- 49:44Speaker 1: want to do that, but it has to be like
- 49:49Speaker 1: what I give you must give back. It has to
- 49:51Speaker 1: be like I can't fill your cup and then don't
- 49:53Speaker 1: feel mine back, you know. So for me, it's like
- 49:55Speaker 1: all we wanted to be a white first before I
- 49:56Speaker 1: have kids. Now weren't being tweeny nine. I might be
- 49:59Speaker 1: turning thirty next year, Like maybe I should just have
- 50:02Speaker 1: a kid with somebody, but I don't. I don't know
- 50:05Speaker 1: if I want to do that either. So I really
- 50:07Speaker 1: want to be in a relationship with somebody who I
- 50:10Speaker 1: like and love and have some kids and raise the
- 50:14Speaker 1: kid up in a two parent home and private school
- 50:16Speaker 1: and and all that good stuff.
- 50:17Speaker 2: But y'all find the right person, though.
- 50:19Speaker 1: I got to find the right person.
- 50:20Speaker 6: How are you, like, what's your dating life?
- 50:22Speaker 1: Like? I'm not even I'm not even on that yet.
- 50:25Speaker 1: A lot of guys trying to court me, but I
- 50:27Speaker 1: just don't. I just don't care right now. It's like,
- 50:30Speaker 1: is it the focus or is it you're still dealing
- 50:32Speaker 1: with the I was engaged situation.
- 50:33Speaker 2: Those great men in Detroit, I heard.

- 50:41Speaker 1: I heard, like Detroit, New York and Landa got some
- 50:43Speaker 1: good men, That's what I've heard.

- 50:52Speaker 1: But you got to be open to it though you
- 50:54Speaker 1: said you're not even Why though? Is it because of worker?
- 50:56Speaker 1: Is it because you're still figuring out that I've always

- 51:00Speaker 1: never been like really single. I've been been in a relationships.
