- 1:34Speaker 3: Let's go. Let's talk about this, man. Because you're ranked
- 1:37Speaker 3: number one worldwide. Shout to you. And you said Tyson
- 1:42Speaker 3: Fury and Joshua's two and three.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Two and four.
- 1:46Speaker 3: Two and four. I didn't even know that.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Joshua's four?
- 1:49Speaker 1: Yeah, Joshua's four. Tyson's number two now.
- 1:51Speaker 3: Okay, now, they about to fight, right? Even though you're
- 1:54Speaker 3: number one above them, of course. Joshua's about to fight
- 1:57Speaker 3: Tyson Fury. Met Tyson Fury in, where was that?
- 2:00Speaker 1: Milan?
- 2:00Speaker 2: I think he was in Italy somewhere.
- 2:03Speaker 3: Shout out to Tyson Fury. I never met Joshua.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Tyson's a cool dude, man.
- 2:08Speaker 2: I met Joshua. He was actually playing some of my
- 2:10Speaker 2: music one time. He was training and shit, so he
- 2:12Speaker 2: up on that Uncle Murda shit.
- 2:13Speaker 1: He tried to. He's still a punk.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Oh, dang, Harbaugh. I mean, twitkin' shit, man.
- 2:17Speaker 1: It's the real report.
- 2:19Speaker 2: I thought they wasn't going to fight. I seen something
- 2:21Speaker 2: come out where they saying that the fight wasn't going
- 2:23Speaker 2: to happen with them.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Correct.
- 2:24Speaker 2: But then I saw you popping your shit as usual.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:26Speaker 2: Like, yeah, well, Sheik, set it up. I'm here, baby.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Let's go. Something where Anthony Joshua was, him and his
- 2:30Speaker 2: crew was supposed to, they were saying something was happening.
- 2:33Speaker 1: I mean, from what I heard, Tyson won a 50-50
- 2:35Speaker 1: split on the money and AJ won a 60-40 split.
- 2:40Speaker 1: And he wanted more money than Tyson. But it's like, listen,
- 2:42Speaker 1: we got the same caliber of promotion. Why it got
- 2:45Speaker 1: to be 60-40? And then there was some stuff with
- 2:46Speaker 1: Dana White. You know, Dana White's done in boxing now.
- 2:49Speaker 1: And he got this real braggadocious style about promoting and,
- 2:53Speaker 1: you know, talking shit to other promoters. And guys that's
- 2:55Speaker 1: been doing it longer than him don't take too kindly
- 2:57Speaker 1: to it.
- 2:57Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 2:58Speaker 1: On top of that, he's signing a bunch of fighters
- 3:00Speaker 1: and he's not really putting enough shows to, you know,
- 3:04Speaker 1: for these fighters to make a living right now. So,
- 3:06Speaker 1: you know, if you understand the whole UFC dynamic, his whole...
- 3:10Speaker 1: how can I say, his whole formula is take it
- 3:12Speaker 1: or leave it. Either you take this fight or don't
- 3:14Speaker 1: fight at all. And that's kind of the problem with
- 3:16Speaker 1: the UFC where it's monopolized by him. In a boxing game,
- 3:19Speaker 1: you know, we still know it's not 100% perfect, but
- 3:22Speaker 1: if this promoting top ring don't want to pay me,
- 3:23Speaker 1: I can go to Eddie Hearn and work a deal out.
- 3:25Speaker 1: That's a part of the boxing game, the smart way.
- 3:28Speaker 3: You feel like boxing is better when guys like Dana White,
- 3:30Speaker 3: and what's the Sheik guy?
- 3:32Speaker 1: I mean, when Turk ever shared?
- 3:34Speaker 2: Yeah, I like him. I think he makes it better.
- 3:36Speaker 1: I mean, he was making it better in the beginning,
- 3:38Speaker 1: but I feel like he's stepped on a lot of
- 3:40Speaker 1: toes now. A lot of deals I've been hearing behind
- 3:43Speaker 1: closed doors have been happening. Even with my situation, being
- 3:46Speaker 1: in WBA, I've earned my number one spot, and I've
- 3:49Speaker 1: earned by a mandatory fight for the title. I'm ranked
- 3:52Speaker 1: number one, you know, I earned my position. You know,
- 3:54Speaker 1: these guys been off for a year, either got knocked
- 3:56Speaker 1: out or whatever. And now I heard there's money being
- 3:59Speaker 1: on the table where they were skipped over me to
- 4:02Speaker 1: get for the belt, which is unheard of because a
- 4:04Speaker 1: guy named Murat Gassive, a Russian guy who fought for
- 4:06Speaker 1: the title, just two titles, he had a regular title
- 4:08Speaker 1: and a super title, right? When Usyk vacated the super title,
- 4:12Speaker 1: a regular champion becomes elevated to the super title. Which
- 4:15Speaker 1: is automatically. The WBC did it with intern and the
- 4:19Speaker 1: IBF did it. You know, WBO, they had 4-4 or whatever.
- 4:22Speaker 1: But the problem is now with boxing is people that
- 4:24Speaker 1: have money are buying their way into position. Which I
- 4:27Speaker 1: don't know money talk, but right is right, wrong is wrong.
- 4:29Speaker 1: And I had my sting a couple years ago. I
- 4:31Speaker 1: had to bite down on a bullet and take my lick.
- 4:33Speaker 1: You know what I'm trying to say? Now these guys
- 4:34Speaker 1: are skipping along because somebody behind them throwing money. You
- 4:37Speaker 1: know what I mean? So now they're trying to say
- 4:38Speaker 1: Tyson Fury and AJ going to fight for a title
- 4:40Speaker 1: they didn't even earn. and skipping over Russian to me now,
- 4:43Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So it sucks, but what
- 4:45Speaker 1: you hear these little things is like, damn, bro, God
- 4:48Speaker 1: punished me from the day I was born.
- 4:49Speaker 3: Because there's a lot of politics in fucking boxing.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Yeah, man, it sucks. You know what I mean? You
- 4:53Speaker 1: think Zufo boxing was going to come to the table
- 4:56Speaker 1: and kind of clean it up a little bit, but
- 4:57Speaker 1: they're actually making it worse. Straight up.
- 4:59Speaker 2: Facts. Facts.
- 5:01Speaker 1: So who you want next? I want the belt. I
- 5:03Speaker 1: want the Russian. You know, after I get the belt,
- 5:05Speaker 1: then I'm the boss. You know what I'm trying to say? Like, yes,
- 5:08Speaker 1: Tyson and AJ's big money fight. Don't get it wrong, but.
- 5:10Speaker 2: When you're the champion. The main attraction. The main attraction.
- 5:12Speaker 1: But when you have the belt, like say me and
- 5:15Speaker 1: Tyson and AJ fight right now. It's going to be
- 5:16Speaker 1: the same shit. He's going to want a 60-40 split
- 5:18Speaker 1: or a 70-30 split. And it's like, all right, he's
- 5:21Speaker 1: a money guy right now, so I'm going to take it, right?
- 5:23Speaker 2: Of course.
- 5:24Speaker 1: But when you're the champ, now I'm going to forget 60-40.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Regardless of who you is, I got the belt. You
- 5:28Speaker 1: know what I'm trying to say? So the belt puts
- 5:30Speaker 1: you in a better position.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Negotiation.
- 5:32Speaker 1: You know what I'm trying to say? To get to
- 5:34Speaker 1: that paper. And then, like I said, it's still something
- 5:35Speaker 1: that I always want to become as a world champion.
- 5:37Speaker 1: So I'm not doing it for the money just yet.
- 5:40Speaker 1: I want to get that belt. I even take a
- 5:42Speaker 1: pay cut to get the belt when I become world champion.
- 5:44Speaker 1: It's certified. You know what I mean? So I tell
- 5:47Speaker 1: people all the time, if I was doing this for
- 5:48Speaker 1: this money, I would have been stop boxing a long
- 5:49Speaker 1: time ago.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Got you.
- 5:51Speaker 1: You know what I mean? But that's just the dog
- 5:53Speaker 1: in me, man. I can't, you know, we've been on
- 5:54Speaker 1: this train for too long, man. I can't stop now.
- 5:57Speaker 3: Talk about your Brooklyn and Queens background.
- 6:00Speaker 2: Brooklyn. Let's go.
- 6:03Speaker 3: Like she is.
- 6:04Speaker 2: Like before boxing. How you grew up in this home?
- 6:06Speaker 2: Talk about that.
- 6:07Speaker 1: I was born in Brooklyn Hospital. Grew up in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Margo makes a make home. We lived on Gates Avenue.
- 6:12Speaker 1: I'm born and bred mostly in Brooklyn. And then my
- 6:15Speaker 1: mom met my Jamaican pops, you know, like Homestead Pops.
- 6:19Speaker 2: You know what I mean? My Jamaican pops.
- 6:21Speaker 1: You know what I mean? He met my mom and
- 6:23Speaker 1: they ended up coming together and, you know, moving to Queens.
- 6:25Speaker 1: And we ended up living in Roseville for a little while.
- 6:27Speaker 2: And Roseville was cool.
- 6:28Speaker 1: I hated the whole Roseville suburban stuff. But as you
- 6:30Speaker 1: get older, you have appreciation for it. You know what
- 6:33Speaker 1: I mean? And, you know, grew up in 138 for
- 6:35Speaker 1: a little while, going back and forth to Brooklyn. And
- 6:37Speaker 1: I said, you know, I'm staying in Queens. Went to
- 6:39Speaker 1: Springfield Gardens. 231 got expelled. You know, my cousin on.
- 6:42Speaker 3: The other side.
- 6:43Speaker 1: 231 and Springfield.
- 6:44Speaker 3: Those were some bad schools, man.
- 6:46Speaker 2: Those were some bad schools.
- 6:47Speaker 3: I mean, in Queens, like everybody knew Springfield and Jackson.
- 6:51Speaker 3: Like those two was like, oh shit, you go down,
- 6:55Speaker 3: expect trouble.
- 6:55Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 6:56Speaker 3: Springfield, trouble. Jackson, trouble. You know what I'm saying?
- 7:01Speaker 1: Facts, you know what I mean? So, you know, going
- 7:03Speaker 1: to those schools, I was always fighting. I got expelled,
- 7:05Speaker 1: lived in Canada for a year. Went back to Belize
- 7:07Speaker 1: for a year. Then my mom said, come back to Queens.
- 7:09Speaker 3: How was Canada?
- 7:10Speaker 1: Where you was at in Canada?
- 7:11Speaker 3: I was in Victoria. Shout to Canada. I love Canada.
- 7:13Speaker 3: People be sleeping on Canada. There's a lot of gangsters
- 7:15Speaker 3: in Canada.
- 7:16Speaker 1: Yeah, some parts of Canada. Where I was was that gangster.
- 7:17Speaker 1: There's a couple of Asian dudes out there back then.
- 7:20Speaker 2: It's kind of tough. It's cool.
- 7:21Speaker 3: I mean, listen.
- 7:22Speaker 1: My cousins are half white, half black. You know, they're Canadian.
- 7:24Speaker 1: I'm like the only black dude in school. We had
- 7:26Speaker 1: a couple of Somalians, though. I remember that. But it
- 7:28Speaker 1: has taught me different lifestyles. It's not everybody trying to
- 7:30Speaker 1: get you. You know, being from New York, it's like,
- 7:32Speaker 1: I'm trying to fight everybody. There it was like, I'm
- 7:34Speaker 1: getting invited for lunch and dinner. And my football team
- 7:37Speaker 1: picked me up from school. It just taught me, I
- 7:39Speaker 1: like house music because of that. You know, I'm a
- 7:41Speaker 1: big fan of house music and it was like a
- 7:42Speaker 1: techno and stuff like that. And it was like, it
- 7:44Speaker 1: just taught me, you know what? If I see you
- 7:45Speaker 1: dancing to house music, I don't care.
- 7:47Speaker 2: Man, I'd kill it, bro. Especially when I'm hitting the
- 7:51Speaker 2: bag too. Nobody gonna say that to you. Yeah, exactly.
- 7:54Speaker 2: That's the whole point though. When you see me jamming,
- 7:56Speaker 2: you're like, oh, this house music is gangster.
- 7:58Speaker 1: And the reason why I do it because, you know,
- 8:00Speaker 1: music and everything is frequencies, right? I love my rap music,
- 8:03Speaker 1: but sometimes the rap music is too short. It's two
- 8:05Speaker 1: or three minutes long. And then when the music cut off,
- 8:07Speaker 1: my mental kind of get, I get distracted. Where the
- 8:10Speaker 1: house music and techno is 35, 40, 50 minutes long,
- 8:13Speaker 1: I'm working out for that long. So I'm like, I'm
- 8:15Speaker 1: literally in a trance, listening to trance. You know what
- 8:18Speaker 1: I mean? So I fell in love with it. I
- 8:19Speaker 1: fell in love with the mental aspect of that kind
- 8:22Speaker 1: of music. And listen, you know, black culture.
- 8:23Speaker 3: House music and techno was crazy.
- 8:25Speaker 2: Yeah, man.
- 8:25Speaker 3: We went to DJ Snake Show. It was one of
- 8:28Speaker 3: the craziest things I've seen in my life.
- 8:30Speaker 1: Come up with a house song too.
- 8:31Speaker 2: We was just playing nothing but some, like, It wasn't
- 8:34Speaker 2: even house music. It was some different type of overseas music.
- 8:36Speaker 2: You downloaded it in your playlist and all that. Where
- 8:39Speaker 2: was that? A bunch of different. Yeah, this music was crazy, though, man.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Afrobeat.
- 8:43Speaker 2: It was crazy.
- 8:44Speaker 3: When you go to London, Paris, it's just Afrobeat.
- 8:48Speaker 2: So what got you into boxing? What made you want
- 8:50Speaker 2: to start boxing?
- 8:51Speaker 3: When did you start?
- 8:52Speaker 1: So I would say, you know, six years old, I
- 8:53Speaker 1: always went to box watching Mike on TV.
- 8:55Speaker 3: Six years old?
- 8:56Speaker 1: I was like six. I wasn't going to fight. And
- 8:58Speaker 1: I remember one time, you know, everybody best VHS, you know,
- 9:01Speaker 1: my uncles, aunts, everyone out partying one night. and they
- 9:03Speaker 1: put it on record. And I remember I was watching
- 9:05Speaker 1: it with my grandma over the time. And I think Mike,
- 9:07Speaker 1: I forgot who Mike knocked out. Not sure who it was.
- 9:10Speaker 1: And I remember the next morning, on Sunday morning, everybody
- 9:12Speaker 1: kind of sobered up eating breakfast. They watching it now.
- 9:15Speaker 1: But I come in the living room, I'm like, y'all
- 9:16Speaker 1: watching this again? I'm like, Mike knocked him out in
- 9:18Speaker 1: the third round. Everybody was pissed that I spilled the
- 9:20Speaker 1: beans on him. So I was like, yo, this is
- 9:22Speaker 1: crazy that everybody's glued to the TV when Mike was fighting.
- 9:25Speaker 1: And I'm like, this is the kind of attention I want.
- 9:27Speaker 1: I want to be a fighter, right? And then as
- 9:29Speaker 1: I get a little bit older, getting expelled, fighting all
- 9:31Speaker 1: the time in school, When I came back from Canada,
- 9:34Speaker 1: I was in Rosedale, you know, a bunch of bike
- 9:36Speaker 1: parts in the backyard, put the bike together, put the
- 9:39Speaker 1: chain on, riding on my bike. I went to get
- 9:40Speaker 1: a beef patty off of Franny Lou. By the time
- 9:43Speaker 1: I turned my bike, my bike was gone. I was like, motherfucker,
- 9:45Speaker 1: I just got back home, they stole my bike. So
- 9:47Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm going to Valley Street, you know, in
- 9:48Speaker 1: a white suburban style, I'm going to rob somebody for
- 9:50Speaker 1: their bike. So I see some kids go in their store,
- 9:52Speaker 1: jumped on the X-Games bike and I'm out. So I'm
- 9:55Speaker 1: coming back to my side of town, I go on
- 9:56Speaker 1: the roads though now, there's a lady standing in a window,
- 10:00Speaker 1: blonde hair, big old titties. And I'm looking like, God damn,
- 10:03Speaker 1: and she looking down at me like, come inside. I'm like, me,
- 10:05Speaker 1: come inside?
- 10:06Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, bet.
- 10:07Speaker 1: So I go inside now, she's actually the instructor's fiance
- 10:10Speaker 1: for the gym. Name was Coach K at the time.
- 10:13Speaker 1: And she's like, hey, just come back later on.
- 10:14Speaker 2: I'll let you in. And we're at gym.
- 10:15Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, cool. I'll come check it out.
- 10:17Speaker 2: Why? Because you got a little bit of size on you, Paul?
- 10:19Speaker 1: I was chubby.
- 10:20Speaker 2: I was a chubby kid.
- 10:20Speaker 1: I was like 14, 15 times a chubby kid. But
- 10:23Speaker 1: she just seemed like, you know, it's a kid on
- 10:24Speaker 1: a bike. You know, come try it out, right? So
- 10:26Speaker 1: I go back home and Rose don't know. I drop
- 10:27Speaker 1: the bike in front of the crib. I tell my mom,
- 10:29Speaker 1: can I go check this kickboxing fight out?
- 10:31Speaker 2: She's like, nah, it's getting late.
- 10:32Speaker 1: I'm like, mom, come on. Please let me go. She's like,
- 10:34Speaker 1: all right, it's behavior stuff. I'm like, all right, whatever.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Just jump on the stolen bike, right?
- 10:37Speaker 2: Right.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Jump back on the bike, go back to Valley Stream. Now,
- 10:40Speaker 1: the gyms are called Extreme Woodside over there And I
- 10:43Speaker 1: remember the whole gym was empty when I first went there.
- 10:45Speaker 1: It's packed now. So one of my good friends, now
- 10:48Speaker 1: he's NYPD now. He was fighting another one of our
- 10:50Speaker 1: good friends, Ahmed. And they fought. Andy was like 76 pounds.
- 10:55Speaker 1: Omar was about, I don't know, 110. And Andy beating
- 10:58Speaker 1: the shit out of the bigger guy. And I was like, yo,
- 10:59Speaker 1: this little Indian dude could do this. I know I
- 11:01Speaker 1: could do this. And I begged him on for like
- 11:03Speaker 1: two weeks. And ever since then, I never left the gym.
- 11:05Speaker 1: I was beating up grown men in like within two
- 11:07Speaker 1: or three months. Ex-bodybuilders are fighting. Ex-bodybuilder was about 14
- 11:09Speaker 1: years old, my first amateur fighter. Ex-bodybuilder was like 32.
- 11:12Speaker 1: Smoked it.
- 11:13Speaker 2: When you was 14, you was probably like.
- 11:16Speaker 1: 250, 220?
- 11:16Speaker 2: I was about 245, 235. Damn. Okay, damn.
- 11:18Speaker 3: Because you played football too.
- 11:19Speaker 1: Yeah, I played football. Played for Roseville Jets. Played for
- 11:21Speaker 1: Springfield Gardens. And I played a year when I was
- 11:23Speaker 1: in Canada for some like intermediate high school type team.
- 11:27Speaker 1: And this came back home. I was trying to pick
- 11:30Speaker 1: up football again, but the team aspect just wasn't for
- 11:32Speaker 1: me because I trained hard. Like, I'm trying to run
- 11:35Speaker 1: into dudes and kill them. Even when I was in
- 11:36Speaker 1: high school team. And I realized I put my body
- 11:39Speaker 1: through that and we still suck. So I was like,
- 11:40Speaker 1: you know what? I started focusing on kickboxing and boxing again.
- 11:44Speaker 1: And I was like, this is what I want to do.
- 11:45Speaker 1: And that was it. That was it. Started kicking ass
- 11:47Speaker 1: ever since. Well, kick ass before that, but I realized
- 11:50Speaker 1: I get paid for it and make this bread. I
- 11:51Speaker 1: was like, ah, this is it.
- 11:52Speaker 2: Fuck it. Let's go.
- 11:53Speaker 3: Give me five guys on your hit list. Cause you
- 11:55Speaker 3: talking about killing everybody. Give me five guys.
- 11:58Speaker 1: Right now I'm with the Russian Murat Gasev.
- 12:00Speaker 2: Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
- 12:01Speaker 1: AJ for sure, Deontay for sure. I don't want to
- 12:03Speaker 1: kill Tyson. I like Tyson, but I definitely want to
- 12:05Speaker 1: knock him out. It's my boy still.
- 12:06Speaker 3: Who, Mike Tyson? Oh, Tyson Fury?
- 12:08Speaker 1: Tyson Fury.
- 12:08Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
- 12:09Speaker 1: So, Murad, AJ, Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder, and who's the
- 12:13Speaker 1: number five? Maybe Dylan White. You know, he's Jamaican. You
- 12:15Speaker 1: know what I mean? He's a cool dude, though, but
- 12:17Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying? Definitely want to punch his
- 12:18Speaker 1: pancake face.
- 12:19Speaker 3: I said he want to punch his pancake face.
- 12:24Speaker 2: He look like a beef patty, bro. He fucked up,
- 12:26Speaker 2: he lumped up and shit.
- 12:27Speaker 3: So that's what you be thinking when you in the ring? Like, yo,
- 12:29Speaker 3: I'm going to just punch him.
- 12:30Speaker 1: I'm going to punch him up. You know, it's crazy because,
- 12:33Speaker 1: you know, I've learned so many ways to turn off
- 12:35Speaker 1: my mental monsters growing up over the years. Even though
- 12:37Speaker 1: I was fighting in school, I was like, you know,
- 12:40Speaker 1: I got to fight this dude after school. I'm like, man,
- 12:41Speaker 1: I got to turn up. And I don't want to
- 12:43Speaker 1: say the words I want to say on camera, but
- 12:46Speaker 1: It's crazy how I still use them methods today because
- 12:49Speaker 1: I think about somebody really trying to like muffle some shit.
- 12:53Speaker 1: Like when the bell bought the ring, it's like, yo,
- 12:55Speaker 1: this motherfucker trying to take my kid from me. Like
- 12:57Speaker 1: that's how I really think. And that's how I've always
- 12:59Speaker 1: thought in a lot of my fights. That's good. I
- 13:02Speaker 1: turn the switch on and it's like, and at times
- 13:05Speaker 1: in the ring, motherfucker might be beating you up and
- 13:07Speaker 1: you be like, you like dig so deep in your
- 13:10Speaker 1: heart and you win everything. Like, it can't be no
- 13:12Speaker 1: regular shit. Like, fighters are not regular, bro. That's what
- 13:14Speaker 1: just come on. Like, yeah, I'm not dying.
- 13:16Speaker 3: I'm glad I know what you're thinking.
- 13:18Speaker 2: Because when you think about sports, right?
- 13:21Speaker 3: When you think about sports, right? Everybody has somebody. Basketball team,
- 13:25Speaker 3: football team. Baseball team, soccer team, boxing, you in there,
- 13:29Speaker 3: it's a sport. You in there by yourself, nobody's there
- 13:32Speaker 3: to help you. Nobody's there to help you. It's just
- 13:36Speaker 3: you and your opponent.
- 13:37Speaker 1: This is the hardest sport on the planet, man. I
- 13:39Speaker 1: think the next thing's hardest next to probably not being
- 13:42Speaker 1: a fighter in a sport-wise, I'd probably say either rugby
- 13:46Speaker 1: or bodybuilding, for real. Because them guys beat them body
- 13:49Speaker 1: up for years. They got to get on certain supplements,
- 13:52Speaker 1: and they might never make.
- 13:53Speaker 2: It to that top level.
- 13:53Speaker 3: I would have to say boxing and UFC.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Come on, bro. I mean, anything fighting. Anything fighting.
- 13:57Speaker 2: Anything fighting.
- 13:59Speaker 1: I did kickboxing.
- 14:00Speaker 2: I did MMA.
- 14:01Speaker 1: I did martial arts. I got purple in jiu-jitsu. I
- 14:03Speaker 1: fought in Japan. Anything fighting, yeah. I'm a martial artist
- 14:07Speaker 1: before I became a boxer. You know what I mean?
- 14:09Speaker 1: So I did kickboxing first. But I would say anything fighting,
- 14:12Speaker 1: number one. And I would think like bodybuilding also because
- 14:15Speaker 1: the things they put their body to and the mental
- 14:17Speaker 1: aspect of that sport and probably never make it to
- 14:20Speaker 1: that stage is crazy. It's crazy.
- 14:22Speaker 2: And money is not really that great either.
- 14:24Speaker 1: So you're really doing that for the love and you're
- 14:25Speaker 1: putting your body through tremendous, you know, upheld.
- 14:29Speaker 3: So what made you transition from kickboxing to boxing?
- 14:31Speaker 1: I always knew I was going to box. I just
- 14:33Speaker 1: ended up being in the kickboxers at first because of
- 14:34Speaker 1: some titties. You know what I mean?
- 14:37Speaker 2: I was like, I might as well have stayed in.
- 14:40Speaker 2: Coach K.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Blondie with some titties, boy.
- 14:43Speaker 2: Shout out to the lady with the titties that got
- 14:47Speaker 2: my boy in the box.
- 14:47Speaker 3: See, he was raised in Brooklyn, but he trained in Queens.
- 14:51Speaker 2: Brooklyn, Queens. Shout out to Rosedale.
- 14:52Speaker 3: Brooklyn told me how to fight 110%.
- 14:54Speaker 1: Brooklyn told me how to fight. But Queens also told
- 14:59Speaker 1: me how to hustle. And yo, I can't do nothing
- 15:01Speaker 1: for free.
- 15:02Speaker 2: No, Queens taught you how to fight. Because you trained
- 15:04Speaker 2: in Queens. You met your coach there.
- 15:06Speaker 3: So that started of your career. You was 240.
- 15:08Speaker 2: He trying to remix your story. You hear this thing?
- 15:14Speaker 1: It turned me into a calculated fighter, I would say.
- 15:18Speaker 2: All that they was calculating the fighting skills. He was 240, man.
- 15:20Speaker 2: Like I said, bro. Brooklyn told me how to fight,
- 15:23Speaker 2: but Queens told me how to hustle.
- 15:25Speaker 1: So Queens told me how to make money off of
- 15:26Speaker 1: the fight.
- 15:27Speaker 3: Like I said before.
- 15:27Speaker 2: It ain't nothing wrong with that. Queens get the money.
- 15:29Speaker 2: We know that. It ain't nothing wrong with that. Take that. Yeah,
- 15:31Speaker 2: it's all good. Damn.
- 15:32Speaker 3: Queens get the money.
- 15:33Speaker 2: What I'm saying is you got to train in Queens. Yeah.
- 15:37Speaker 2: So you my brother, right? and you know you had
- 15:39Speaker 2: a viral moment out there. You had the viral moment
- 15:43Speaker 2: with the toupee, with the hair falling off. Walk us
- 15:46Speaker 2: through that whole experience. But you got hair though. Yeah,
- 15:50Speaker 2: I got a little hair. Why the fuck did you
- 15:52Speaker 2: have it?
- 15:53Speaker 3: Did you knock out your barber after that?
- 15:54Speaker 2: No, no, no.
- 15:55Speaker 1: It's not my cousin barber in the other room. He's
- 15:57Speaker 1: really his barber. But the funny part is, you know,
- 15:59Speaker 1: I'm training for the fight and everything. I was in
- 16:01Speaker 1: Miami training, da, da, da. And I'm like, you know,
- 16:03Speaker 1: it's hot out there. So I'm going to spray more chemicals,
- 16:05Speaker 1: put a little Beijing in it, go back to work,
- 16:06Speaker 1: put a do-rag. And I ain't wash it for like
- 16:08Speaker 1: a week and a half, two weeks. So I come
- 16:10Speaker 1: back to New York. I'm going to get my shit
- 16:11Speaker 1: fresh up, get it cleaned up. And when I go
- 16:14Speaker 1: wash my head, yo, half of my shit falling out.
- 16:16Speaker 1: And then my scalp look like it was burned from
- 16:18Speaker 1: the chemical. So I'm like, oh, man, there's no way
- 16:20Speaker 1: I'm going on TV like this. There's no way in hell.
- 16:22Speaker 2: So, he's like, yo, I got my man got the joints.
- 16:24Speaker 2: I'm like, what do you mean got the joints?
- 16:26Speaker 1: He got the toupee.
- 16:27Speaker 2: I said, what?
- 16:27Speaker 1: Fuck it, let's go.
- 16:28Speaker 2: I'm happy as shit. I'm like, I'm tearing a gram.
- 16:31Speaker 3: So, that was backstage or you had to make the call?
- 16:33Speaker 2: No, no, no. It was like the day before the fight.
- 16:34Speaker 1: You get your shape up with your haircut before the
- 16:36Speaker 1: fight or whatever. So, I'm like, yo, man, I got
- 16:39Speaker 1: to find somebody to do this shit. He's like, my
- 16:40Speaker 1: man got it. So we go there. He's like, yeah,
- 16:42Speaker 1: your shit kind of fries. I got you, though. I'm
- 16:44Speaker 1: going to double reinforce it. This motherfucker put the tape on.
- 16:47Speaker 1: He put the tape on. He put the glue on.
- 16:49Speaker 1: And the fucked up part, he got the roller like
- 16:51Speaker 1: he rolled a wall. He had a roller with the
- 16:53Speaker 1: glue in it. He rolled it on my head.
- 16:54Speaker 2: So you're thinking everything was straight, like this is good money.
- 16:56Speaker 1: So then I bring my girl over. I told my girl,
- 16:58Speaker 1: pull up on me. She pulls up. What the hell
- 16:59Speaker 1: are you doing? I'm like, I'm about to put this
- 17:02Speaker 1: shit on.
- 17:02Speaker 2: Shout out to wifey. She said, what the fuck are
- 17:04Speaker 2: you doing?
- 17:05Speaker 3: Let me always know. Shout out to wifey.
- 17:06Speaker 2: She was like, yo, this shit come off?
- 17:08Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, fuck it. I'm just going to play
- 17:10Speaker 1: it off and run with it. She's like, Jarrell, all right, whatever.
- 17:12Speaker 1: And when I got it done and I came, she's like, oh,
- 17:14Speaker 1: that shit doesn't look good though.
- 17:15Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, you see that?
- 17:16Speaker 3: Her wifey was feeling it.
- 17:17Speaker 2: She was feeling it. All right, copy. Copy. So my
- 17:20Speaker 2: confidence up.
- 17:21Speaker 1: I got it. But it was so funny because when
- 17:23Speaker 1: the fight started, it was like I wasn't myself, because
- 17:26Speaker 1: I knew, psychologically, it was dead. And homie was beating
- 17:30Speaker 1: my ass, post. So it was like, I'm trying to
- 17:32Speaker 1: hold down a jabbing nigga, and that shit wasn't working,
- 17:34Speaker 1: that shit coming up.
- 17:35Speaker 2: And I had a whole crowd go, like this. You
- 17:37Speaker 2: know what I mean?
- 17:39Speaker 1: And I feel the fucking, the drive hit my scalp.
- 17:41Speaker 2: I'm like, oh. And a whole crowd go crazy.
- 17:44Speaker 1: I'm like, God, if this shit really come up, I'm fried.
- 17:46Speaker 1: So I'm sitting down and I'm like, I'm breathing hard
- 17:49Speaker 1: on my trainer. He looking down at me, yo, yo,
- 17:51Speaker 1: you got to do this, you got to do that.
- 17:52Speaker 1: You're getting fucked up. Do your corner know that you
- 17:54Speaker 1: got a toupee on?
- 17:55Speaker 2: Do they know? They did know. Okay.
- 17:58Speaker 1: I told them, but they didn't remember it until that
- 18:02Speaker 1: moment really happened. And then when I see my coach's
- 18:04Speaker 1: eyes talking to me like, yo, you getting fucked up.
- 18:06Speaker 1: You got to do something right now.
- 18:08Speaker 2: What the fuck you keep looking up for?
- 18:09Speaker 1: So I'm like, yo, if I look at the jumbotron
- 18:15Speaker 1: and I see this shit, I'm fried. So I look
- 18:17Speaker 1: up and the shit flaps on the jumbotron. The whole
- 18:21Speaker 1: arena goes crazy.
- 18:22Speaker 2: I'm like, yo, I'm fried.
- 18:25Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm getting my ass whooped. He's like, you're
- 18:26Speaker 1: getting your ass whooped. I'm like, I bet, see no more.
- 18:28Speaker 1: So anyway, I just jump up now, and I just
- 18:30Speaker 1: took that shit of WWE style and threw it through
- 18:31Speaker 1: the crowd.
- 18:32Speaker 2: Classic. Classic. Classic viral moment. Classic viral moment. The crowd
- 18:36Speaker 2: goes wild.
- 18:37Speaker 1: I'm like, that's not going to work, because I can't
- 18:39Speaker 1: get my fucking weight split and lose the fight.
- 18:41Speaker 3: Exactly.
- 18:41Speaker 2: Fuck that.
- 18:41Speaker 1: So I said, you know what? I did the wig
- 18:43Speaker 1: split later, it's gotta win this fight. And I dug down,
- 18:45Speaker 1: almost stopped him, you know what I mean?
- 18:46Speaker 2: That's a fact. That's a fact. I was so proud
- 18:48Speaker 2: of you for the record. I was like, yo man,
- 18:49Speaker 2: because my brother can't have that shit go off and
- 18:52Speaker 2: lose the fight. Go back to the block. You can't
- 18:55Speaker 2: come to Brooklyn after that. I was so proud that
- 18:57Speaker 2: you made sure you win the motherfucking fight, my brother. Yes, sir.
- 19:00Speaker 2: But you know what? You wore it.
- 19:02Speaker 3: And it was like, it was nothing.
- 19:03Speaker 2: You definitely did.
- 19:03Speaker 3: But it was like one of the most viral moments
- 19:06Speaker 3: in the world.
- 19:06Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
- 19:07Speaker 3: It was big.
- 19:07Speaker 2: It was trending more than the Grammys.
- 19:09Speaker 3: Once you ripped that shit off, you just started beating it.
- 19:11Speaker 1: Superpower came out like, yo, I'm free.
- 19:13Speaker 2: I'm coming out. You want the world?
- 19:17Speaker 3: A little shit like that, Mirka, fuck what you had.
- 19:19Speaker 2: If you didn't even put that on, he thinking about
- 19:23Speaker 2: that shit the whole fight. Facts.
- 19:26Speaker 1: That's crazy, man. It worked out the way it did
- 19:27Speaker 1: and all. You know, I'm embracing the boldness now with
- 19:30Speaker 1: a little haircut. You know, women like it, my girl
- 19:32Speaker 1: like it.
- 19:32Speaker 2: Nah, I still see some hair.
- 19:33Speaker 3: You got hair. That's what I'm saying.
- 19:34Speaker 2: You good, man. You good, my guy. I got little

- 20:01Speaker 3: you put some money in. And if your team was
- 20:03Speaker 3: doing well, and if you wanted to cash out, they'll
- 20:06Speaker 3: lock the trade or take a huge fee. Now that's
- 20:09Speaker 3: messed up.

- 20:54Speaker 2: You heard? Polymarket is posh.
- 20:56Speaker 3: Baby, I got to ask you, who's your top five
- 21:01Speaker 3: of all times?
- 21:03Speaker 1: Boxers or MCs?
- 21:04Speaker 2: Boxers. Boxers, man.
- 21:06Speaker 3: We can do MCs after.
- 21:07Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 21:07Speaker 1: Top box of the morning, Jack Johnson, the first black
- 21:10Speaker 1: heavyweight to ever walk the planet, running around from time.
- 21:13Speaker 2: To time with white girls. David Chappelle put a song
- 21:16Speaker 2: about him, yeah? You remember that Dave Chappelle, wasn't he
- 21:19Speaker 2: fucking all the white girls?
- 21:20Speaker 1: All the white girls. The crazy story about Jack Johnson
- 21:26Speaker 1: was so funny.
- 21:27Speaker 3: He had the white girls.
- 21:27Speaker 2: Yeah, he had all the white girls.
- 21:28Speaker 1: All the white girls loved him. The funny thing about him,
- 21:30Speaker 1: he was speeding going somewhere and a cop pulled him over.
- 21:33Speaker 1: And the bad news was he paid a ticket right there.
- 21:35Speaker 1: And the cop said, you gave me double the money.
- 21:37Speaker 1: He said, yeah, I'm going to come speeding back too.
- 21:39Speaker 1: Gave him double the money. I said, he was gangster.
- 21:40Speaker 1: He was so cocky as hell. And white folks couldn't
- 21:42Speaker 1: stand him because he was like the voice for black
- 21:45Speaker 1: people at that time standing against oppression, right? So I
- 21:47Speaker 1: would say Jack Johnson. Number two, definitely Ali. Three, it's tough.
- 21:57Speaker 1: It's tough, man. It's tough. Marvin Hagler. I'm a big
- 22:01Speaker 1: Marvin Hagler fan.
- 22:02Speaker 2: He was a brawler.
- 22:02Speaker 1: He was a beast. He was a fucking animal, bro.
- 22:06Speaker 1: I go with more guys that are always more greedy.
- 22:07Speaker 1: Of course, Mike. I would say Mike is probably my
- 22:09Speaker 1: number one, number two, but only because I'm going down
- 22:11Speaker 1: the timeline. So I would say Jack Johnson, Ali, Marvin Hagler,
- 22:15Speaker 1: Mike Tyson. And number five, I would definitely say Floyd.
- 22:19Speaker 1: And I know Floyd on a personal level. But it's like,
- 22:22Speaker 1: because of Floyd and his mentality.
- 22:24Speaker 2: It's tough.
- 22:28Speaker 1: I'd say Floyd's number five for sure. Definitely Floyd five.
- 22:32Speaker 2: Okay, definitely.
- 22:33Speaker 1: Top five.
- 22:34Speaker 2: Definitely, definitely. I ain't mad at that. I ain't mad
- 22:37Speaker 2: at that five right there.
- 22:38Speaker 3: I'm not mad at that at all.
- 22:39Speaker 2: I like that top five. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, I
- 22:41Speaker 2: remember Big Baby brought me out to a fight one time. Yeah,
- 22:43Speaker 2: he woke me up. Yeah, he brought me out to
- 22:44Speaker 2: a fight.
- 22:45Speaker 1: I had no money back then.
- 22:46Speaker 2: I walked him out, had me wrapping my record. 50
- 22:48Speaker 2: was there, too, and all that. Yeah, 50 was there. Yeah,
- 22:49Speaker 2: 50 was there and all that, too, man. And you
- 22:51Speaker 2: won that night, too, so it was a good look.
- 22:53Speaker 2: It was a good look.
- 22:54Speaker 1: It's so funny how when I first ran to this fight,
- 22:56Speaker 1: I think 50 was really into boxing, really. He was
- 22:57Speaker 1: starting to get his feet wet.
- 22:59Speaker 2: Yeah, he was, yeah.
- 23:00Speaker 1: And I remember he was driving through roads on a friendly,
- 23:02Speaker 1: he ducked down his little Benz. We always see him
- 23:04Speaker 1: in the hood. Some of them, one time, I jump
- 23:06Speaker 1: in the middle of the street.
- 23:07Speaker 2: What the fuck you doing?
- 23:08Speaker 1: I saw the shadow box in front of the car.
- 23:09Speaker 2: He said, nigga, I know you, right? He said, yeah, man,
- 23:11Speaker 2: because we come to my fight. That's how I met
- 23:13Speaker 2: 50 First. He like, this nigga almost got ran over.
- 23:15Speaker 2: This is me and 50, right? Look at that. Look
- 23:17Speaker 2: at that. That's dope.
- 23:18Speaker 1: 50 seemed to come up, man. 50 knows. all my drama,
- 23:21Speaker 1: all my bullshit, you know what I mean?
- 23:22Speaker 2: Yeah, I used to be going back and forth on
- 23:23Speaker 2: the gram a little bit, popping some shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 23:26Speaker 2: that's a fact.
- 23:26Speaker 1: I'm only talking shit all the time. I'm like, I'm
- 23:29Speaker 1: from New York, back in the Bronx, mama. And he
- 23:31Speaker 1: pulled me aside, he said, listen, when I'm talking shit,
- 23:33Speaker 1: don't be mad. I'm throwing you a bone, nigga, run
- 23:35Speaker 1: with it. I said.
- 23:37Speaker 2: Ah, okay, yeah, fuck that. That's a fact. That's a fact.
- 23:40Speaker 2: You better believe it.
- 23:40Speaker 1: 50-50-50. You know, those things, publicity.
- 23:42Speaker 2: Yeah, you better believe it. That's it. That's it. That's
- 23:44Speaker 2: New York. That's like growing up with your homies in
- 23:46Speaker 2: the block.
- 23:47Speaker 1: That was going to talk shit, but he had to just,
- 23:49Speaker 1: on a marketing level, he just kind of just show
- 23:51Speaker 1: me that, and I just took it like, I bet.
- 23:53Speaker 1: So now I do. I talk shit like a mother.
- 23:54Speaker 2: No, you better believe it. No, you better believe it.
- 23:56Speaker 2: You better believe it.
- 23:57Speaker 1: Unfortunately, controversy sells.
- 23:59Speaker 2: Of course.
- 23:59Speaker 1: It is what it is.
- 24:00Speaker 2: Of course, man. That's what it is.
- 24:01Speaker 1: That's what I get on Power. Let's go.
- 24:03Speaker 2: He told me he was gonna look out for me.
- 24:06Speaker 2: He said he was gonna look out.
- 24:07Speaker 1: I said, listen, I took some acting classes in the
- 24:09Speaker 1: city when I stopped recently because I've been getting ready
- 24:11Speaker 1: for another fight. But the minute he say you're ready
- 24:14Speaker 1: to go, I'm hammered, let's go.
- 24:16Speaker 3: Come on, sister's gonna be on your neck for these
- 24:18Speaker 3: acting classes.
- 24:18Speaker 1: Let's go, I'm doing it. I'm doing it right now.
- 24:20Speaker 3: You know Street Fighter about to come out, what, October?
- 24:23Speaker 2: October. See, stuff like that, you could be in it.
- 24:26Speaker 2: Definitely be in it.
- 24:27Speaker 1: What? I don't know if I'm as ripped as 50.
- 24:29Speaker 1: I'm kind of stocky, but I'm going to fuck that guy.
- 24:31Speaker 2: He ain't shit.
- 24:33Speaker 1: I like my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
- 24:35Speaker 2: So who is the next fight you got coming up, man?
- 24:37Speaker 1: We don't have the exact contract signed yet, but it
- 24:40Speaker 1: should be Murat Gassib, the Russian, who's the WBA champ.
- 24:43Speaker 1: It should be him. So we got our fingers crossed
- 24:46Speaker 1: for that, and we hope the WBA don't fuck us.
- 24:50Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 24:51Speaker 1: We played the rules. We paid our dues. We did
- 24:53Speaker 1: our time. We paid our fees. We're doing everything the
- 24:55Speaker 1: right way. Just give me my shot.
- 24:57Speaker 2: Got you. Got you.
- 24:58Speaker 3: That's all I can do, man. You were fighting Russia?
- 25:00Speaker 2: No.
- 25:01Speaker 1: For the simple fact why.
- 25:03Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? 100%. Because the thing.
- 25:06Speaker 1: Okay, so certain countries you don't want to fight, because
- 25:09Speaker 1: there's always politics, right? But the problem is they don't pay.
- 25:12Speaker 1: The Russian guys do not pay.
- 25:12Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
- 25:13Speaker 3: The one where you fight?
- 25:15Speaker 1: Yeah, that one.
- 25:15Speaker 2: You would get your first half and not the back
- 25:17Speaker 2: end or something?
- 25:18Speaker 1: You might get like 5% and never see that bird again.
- 25:21Speaker 1: You know what I mean? A lot of... Crazy, dirty stories.
- 25:23Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's about that promotional company, but I'm
- 25:26Speaker 1: the one that have the network. I have the money
- 25:28Speaker 1: behind me. So for me to go to Russia, I'm
- 25:30Speaker 1: doing myself, you know, a problem. You know what I mean?
- 25:33Speaker 1: For him, he want the TV. You know what I mean?
- 25:35Speaker 1: So come over here, bring your belt here. You know
- 25:37Speaker 1: what I mean? He with the most money fighting in America, really.
- 25:39Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 25:39Speaker 1: So, yeah, it's just, for me, I'm thinking as a
- 25:42Speaker 1: business person, I'm going to fight geographically the best position possible.
- 25:47Speaker 1: I'm the more and heavier in America. And in a day,
- 25:49Speaker 1: he got to fight me regardless. He can't go nowhere else.
- 25:51Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 25:52Speaker 1: So it comes down to a purse bid and the
- 25:54Speaker 1: network want it. And it's going to probably be in
- 25:55Speaker 1: America for sure because there's nothing going on in Russia
- 25:57Speaker 1: right now.
- 25:58Speaker 2: Got you. Got you.
- 25:59Speaker 3: You ever think about writing a book about your life?
- 26:01Speaker 1: I got two offers already to write a book about
- 26:03Speaker 1: my life. But I felt like I'm doing an injustice
- 26:06Speaker 1: if I don't become champion first. Because I've talked so
- 26:09Speaker 1: much to kids and I have two sons and I
- 26:12Speaker 1: tell them about being motivated and getting to the top
- 26:14Speaker 1: and crossing that finish line. And I feel like sometimes
- 26:16Speaker 1: we preach it and we not living it, you know
- 26:19Speaker 1: what I mean? And I feel like I don't want
- 26:20Speaker 1: to be a fake. A lot of these other fighters
- 26:22Speaker 1: are fakes. I think AJ's a big fake and a fraud.
- 26:24Speaker 1: I don't want to be that. Tupac says, I don't
- 26:27Speaker 1: want to be a role model, I want to be
- 26:29Speaker 1: a real model. So for me to write a book,
- 26:31Speaker 1: And the story's not quite, not finished yet, but not
- 26:33Speaker 1: to that point yet. I don't really want to do it.
- 26:35Speaker 1: So I feel like once I get that title in
- 26:37Speaker 1: my hands, then I gotta be like, you know what?
- 26:38Speaker 1: I went through all of this shit. Divorce, breakup, nigga failed, tested,
- 26:42Speaker 1: shot at, stabbed, the whole nine. And I'm finally heavyweight
- 26:45Speaker 1: champ of the world. Like, that's like, I'm getting goosebumps
- 26:47Speaker 1: thinking about like, I can see it. Like, that's where
- 26:49Speaker 1: I gotta go. So I don't want to sell something
- 26:51Speaker 1: I don't believe in.
- 26:52Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 26:53Speaker 1: Where we come from, there's too many motherfuckers acting fake
- 26:55Speaker 1: out here on the gram and popping balls and chain.
- 26:57Speaker 1: That shit's a facade.
- 26:58Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Real shit, real shit.
- 27:00Speaker 1: Definitely one day, just, I don't think I deserve it yet.
- 27:02Speaker 3: How old is your kid?
- 27:04Speaker 1: My oldest is, just turned 16, he's 6'1, played football.
- 27:06Speaker 2: Damn.
- 27:07Speaker 1: He played for Beach Channel High School playing quarterback.
- 27:09Speaker 2: Beach Channel.
- 27:10Speaker 1: Yeah, he just beat Springfield last weekend. Oh yeah, let's go,
- 27:11Speaker 1: let's go Beach Channel. My old high school coach, y'all borrow,
- 27:14Speaker 1: you know what I mean? He's playing Jamaica, I believe,
- 27:18Speaker 1: this Sunday, so that'll be the last game I try
- 27:20Speaker 1: to go check out before I, you know, hit the road, but.
- 27:22Speaker 2: Uh, Yeah, man.
- 27:24Speaker 1: My youngest son is five. He's a maniac. He's a terrorist.
- 27:28Speaker 2: I think he's going to be a boxer. I've been
- 27:30Speaker 2: thinking the same thing about my two-year-old. He about to
- 27:32Speaker 2: turn three, man. A little terrible.
- 27:34Speaker 1: Terrible. He cannot sit still. But I feel like because
- 27:37Speaker 1: I wasn't raised around him, like my oldest son, because
- 27:39Speaker 1: me and his mom, you know, we broke up five
- 27:41Speaker 1: years ago. It's like my oldest son, he was a
- 27:44Speaker 1: terrorist too, but he calmed down because I had him
- 27:46Speaker 1: in the gym all the time. in the martial arts gym, kickboxing, wrestling, whatever.
- 27:49Speaker 1: I had him in the gym. So even now, when
- 27:51Speaker 1: he's not around me all the time, I'm in the gym, Dad.
- 27:53Speaker 1: I did this amount of work. I said, all right, cool.
- 27:55Speaker 1: Get your protein. My youngest son is like, he's a
- 27:57Speaker 1: wild animal. His mom don't know how to control that.
- 27:59Speaker 1: And they said, oh, now you got to take your
- 28:00Speaker 1: son because he's acting. I'm like, that's your fault. You
- 28:03Speaker 1: use a system to systematically remove me out of the
- 28:05Speaker 1: situation for a certain period of time. Now you got
- 28:07Speaker 1: a problem. Right now, my son got to kind of
- 28:10Speaker 1: pick up the slack a little bit because I'm not
- 28:11Speaker 1: there all the time for my youngest son. You know
- 28:14Speaker 1: what I mean? And I got a two year old
- 28:15Speaker 1: daughter too, my fiance now, you know, she's a sweetheart though.
- 28:19Speaker 1: She's definitely the reason why I come home a lot more.
- 28:23Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 28:24Speaker 1: Not that I'm doing nonsense outside. I'm like, do I
- 28:26Speaker 1: want to go to the cigar lines? Do I want
- 28:27Speaker 1: to hang out with the boys? No, I'm going to
- 28:29Speaker 1: cuddle with my girl, my little girl, you know what
- 28:31Speaker 1: I mean? I'm on the floor coloring with her. Big-ass
- 28:34Speaker 1: grown man coloring on the floor with my two-year-old. That's
- 28:36Speaker 1: the only time really like my brain go clear for
- 28:39Speaker 1: like 20 minutes when I'm coloring in the line. Like,
- 28:42Speaker 1: you got to do that plant green. It's like, no,
- 28:43Speaker 1: that one pink.
- 28:43Speaker 2: You think about nothing.
- 28:44Speaker 1: Nothing, bro, nothing.
- 28:45Speaker 2: You're just thinking about what you're doing with your little
- 28:47Speaker 2: baby girl.
- 28:48Speaker 1: That's it. So that's the only time I really have.
- 28:50Speaker 2: That's life.
- 28:51Speaker 1: Any kind of peace right now.
- 28:52Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to reflect on your life. You just
- 28:53Speaker 3: said you, you know, shot, shot at, stabbed.
- 28:56Speaker 1: All that.
- 28:56Speaker 3: You went through real street.
- 28:58Speaker 2: You got shot.
- 28:59Speaker 1: Not even got shot, I got shot at.
- 29:00Speaker 2: Okay, copy.
- 29:00Speaker 3: I didn't say shot.
- 29:01Speaker 1: I don't know how they missed the big ass target.
- 29:05Speaker 1: I never, it's so funny, it's so funny, I've never
- 29:08Speaker 1: been told about that story too, but. That was nuts, man.
- 29:11Speaker 1: I went through some shit, but.
- 29:13Speaker 2: You almost got shot, man. Talking about where you was at, man.
- 29:14Speaker 2: What block you was on? We was on Steinway. Oh,
- 29:16Speaker 2: you was in Queens. We was in Steinway, bro. That
- 29:18Speaker 2: Queens niggas trying to take my nigga out, man. Probably
- 29:22Speaker 2: some Brooklyn folks came to Steinway.
- 29:28Speaker 1: That'd be the skinniest niggas that talk the most shit.
- 29:30Speaker 1: He's like, you know this nigga got a burn on him.
- 29:33Speaker 1: I don't have to think it lit, bro. Turn his
- 29:34Speaker 1: back on him or knock his ass out.
- 29:35Speaker 2: Copy. So he got to a confrontation in the skinny
- 29:38Speaker 2: woods and was not trying to fight you. I'm not
- 29:40Speaker 2: mad at him. I can't even blame him yet. I
- 29:43Speaker 2: can't blame him. He see me. He's like, getting in
- 29:44Speaker 2: an argument with you, I can't blame him, man.
- 29:46Speaker 3: You gotta think about it. His whole life, Pause, he
- 29:49Speaker 3: been the big dude, right? So you gotta think, nobody's
- 29:52Speaker 3: coming with a fair fight. Back in the days, the
- 29:55Speaker 3: biggest dude get hit with chairs, we.
- 29:56Speaker 2: Gotta jump him. 10 dudes, we gotta hit him with
- 29:58Speaker 2: a bat to take him down. It's always against all odds.
- 30:02Speaker 1: It's 100%.
- 30:02Speaker 2: But I never was a bully.
- 30:03Speaker 1: I always picked on guys bigger than me. I'm knocked
- 30:05Speaker 1: on a couple guys bigger than me in the club. Like,
- 30:07Speaker 1: it bounces. Like, my cousins say, man, I go in
- 30:09Speaker 1: a club, who the biggest dudes in the club? I'm
- 30:11Speaker 1: always sizing dudes up. And that's the feel like it's
- 30:12Speaker 1: the warrior fighting because, like, you're the biggest nigga in
- 30:15Speaker 1: the club, I'm gonna hit this nigga first and that
- 30:16Speaker 1: nigga first. Yeah, I wish he stepped on my sneakers.
- 30:18Speaker 1: And it took me a while to really calm down.
- 30:21Speaker 1: I'm like, bro, you don't go to the club to
- 30:23Speaker 1: go dance with girls. You're not coming here to fight.
- 30:25Speaker 1: I go to the club, I'm like, I'm a solid year, nigga.
- 30:27Speaker 1: I'll say something. You know what I mean? And it
- 30:28Speaker 1: took me a while to be like, ah, that's just bad.
- 30:30Speaker 2: Wrong attitude going to the club. Wrong attitude. It took
- 30:32Speaker 2: a while, man. It took a while.
- 30:33Speaker 3: That's why he got that same attitude.
- 30:34Speaker 2: In the ring. Got it, bro.
- 30:36Speaker 1: That's it, bro. It's always going to be like that
- 30:38Speaker 1: until I get that belt. It's mean.
- 30:40Speaker 3: Now, there's a couple of questions I definitely got to
- 30:42Speaker 3: ask you.
- 30:43Speaker 1: Go for it.
- 30:44Speaker 2: What.
- 30:46Speaker 3: when you go through the training process, you really don't
- 30:48Speaker 3: have any sex?
- 30:49Speaker 1: Nah, I'm busting nuts right and left, boy. I'm telling
- 30:51Speaker 1: that story. They all say that, man.
- 30:53Speaker 2: See what I'm saying? Who said the corporate said the
- 30:55Speaker 2: same thing, right? My nigga Terrence Crawford said the same thing.
- 30:58Speaker 1: Oh, nah, nah, nah.
- 30:59Speaker 2: I'm knocking him down.
- 31:00Speaker 1: I used to go two weeks with no box, right?
- 31:03Speaker 3: Before the fight?
- 31:03Speaker 1: Before the fight. So my first, I signed two national titles,
- 31:06Speaker 1: like two American titles. I remember I smashed the day
- 31:08Speaker 1: before my fight and the morning of my fight. I
- 31:11Speaker 1: knocked both of them out. But it makes you think, like,
- 31:14Speaker 1: That third round, my legs started shaking. I'm like, what
- 31:16Speaker 1: did I do it for, right? So it does mess
- 31:17Speaker 1: you psychologically. So I had to go and jump on him,
- 31:20Speaker 1: knock him out, because I feel like I wasn't going
- 31:21Speaker 1: to last. But the whole thing is like, if you're
- 31:24Speaker 1: doing all the crazy aerobics and all that theatrical shit, yeah,
- 31:26Speaker 1: you burning yourself up. Because after you bust a nut,
- 31:28Speaker 1: you be like, it's the same exact feeling. The thing
- 31:30Speaker 1: is about is that sometimes you have a buildup. It's
- 31:32Speaker 1: good to have one release to kind of relax yourself
- 31:35Speaker 1: and your emotions or whatever. But I definitely wouldn't, like
- 31:37Speaker 1: now I'm a little older now, you know, I'd be like,
- 31:39Speaker 1: you know what? I'll give myself like three weeks or more.
- 31:41Speaker 1: You know what I mean? I might go like five weeks.
- 31:44Speaker 1: I'ma be a maniac though, because I can't control myself.
- 31:48Speaker 2: Sorry for my girl, get the ice pack.
- 31:51Speaker 3: I've been on a fight, because I know when you're
- 31:53Speaker 3: on stage, You want a NASCAR, always ask people, you
- 31:56Speaker 3: ever been in a fight and be like, yo, I
- 31:58Speaker 3: gotta take a shit or I gotta use a bathroom?
- 31:59Speaker 1: It's never happened to me in a boxing fight.
- 32:02Speaker 2: I just be thinking that. That's real shit though.
- 32:03Speaker 3: Okay, I'm happy to say it for real.
- 32:06Speaker 1: In sport, it has happened in training, but in a
- 32:08Speaker 1: real fight, it's so funny because I'll fast all day
- 32:12Speaker 1: and have one meal. I have a chicken club sandwich,
- 32:14Speaker 1: no bacon, of course. And that's like my to-go meal
- 32:17Speaker 1: for like every fight for the last like 10 years.
- 32:19Speaker 1: And that's what I do. And I eat that probably
- 32:21Speaker 1: like 4, 5, 6 o'clock. And I fight like 10,
- 32:23Speaker 1: 11 o'clock. And I don't eat nothing after that. Drink
- 32:24Speaker 1: Gatorade water. Because I'm afraid of that situation too. And
- 32:27Speaker 1: I just want to feel light. You know what I mean?
- 32:29Speaker 1: But it has happened in Spawn where I look at
- 32:31Speaker 1: my coach like, get me out of the ring. He's like,
- 32:33Speaker 1: what happened? I got to take a shit.
- 32:34Speaker 2: Like, what?
- 32:34Speaker 1: But get me out now. You know what I mean?
- 32:36Speaker 1: So it has happened in training.
- 32:36Speaker 2: Yeah, you always said that before you perform. Merc don't eat.
- 32:38Speaker 1: Don't eat.
- 32:39Speaker 2: Don't eat. I've seen a.
- 32:41Speaker 3: Couple of artists don't eat.
- 32:42Speaker 2: The sneak peeks. That ain't done. You know what I'm saying?
- 32:46Speaker 3: And I asked the NASCAR driver that, and he was like, nah,
- 32:49Speaker 3: we take a shit in the car. Like when we driving,
- 32:52Speaker 3: we use the bathroom, we just keep going. You in
- 32:54Speaker 3: the Indy 500?
- 32:55Speaker 1: Oh, they got it right. Oh, nah. I knew one
- 32:57Speaker 1: fight I ever.
- 32:57Speaker 3: Ate too bad.
- 32:58Speaker 2: I saw y'all NASCAR niggas is rolling, man.
- 33:00Speaker 1: They blowing it up. One of those little brothers in
- 33:02Speaker 1: that shit like that.
- 33:03Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 33:04Speaker 1: I'm not shitting myself.
- 33:05Speaker 2: That's crazy right there, man. I know you travel to
- 33:07Speaker 2: a lot of places. What are some of your favorite
- 33:09Speaker 2: places in the world, man?
- 33:10Speaker 1: Oh, man.
- 33:11Speaker 2: Hmm.
- 33:12Speaker 1: So, you know... My background is Belizean, Haitian, and Jamaican.
- 33:16Speaker 1: So anything in the Caribbean I love, especially Belize, you
- 33:19Speaker 1: know what I mean? But I would say in the
- 33:21Speaker 1: Europe side, I love Romania. I've been to Romania 10 times.
- 33:23Speaker 1: I have a real good mentor over there, Soren. People
- 33:27Speaker 1: are wonderful down there. You know, I call Romania the
- 33:30Speaker 1: European Brooklyn. So I call it Romania. I love it
- 33:33Speaker 1: for that. Japan was cool. I love Thailand. Thailand is
- 33:37Speaker 1: pretty cool too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Women are a little
- 33:39Speaker 1: skinny for me, but you know, the.
- 33:40Speaker 3: Food is amazing.
- 33:41Speaker 1: The culture is great. The training is great. You know,
- 33:44Speaker 1: you get a money stretch a long way.
- 33:45Speaker 2: Yeah, you got some weed out there now.
- 33:47Speaker 1: Yeah, they smoking crazy out there.
- 33:48Speaker 2: Yeah, they good out there, man.
- 33:49Speaker 3: We got some gas, he was moonwalking.
- 33:51Speaker 2: I was hype out there, we got that. Woo! Put
- 33:53Speaker 2: the techno oil outside.
- 33:55Speaker 1: Yeah, man, so I feel like those are my favorite
- 33:57Speaker 1: countries right now. I think, you know, Caribbean, Romania, and
- 34:02Speaker 1: then Thailand right now.
- 34:03Speaker 2: You ever had a fight where you feel like you
- 34:05Speaker 2: got robbed?
- 34:06Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, most definitely. The fight with Andy Ruiz, and
- 34:08Speaker 1: I beat him in his hometown. they booed me going
- 34:11Speaker 1: in and cheering me going out. You know what I mean?
- 34:12Speaker 2: I do remember that fight.
- 34:14Speaker 1: I do remember that fight.
- 34:15Speaker 2: And you and him was actually cool. Yeah, we mad cool. Yeah,
- 34:18Speaker 2: we mad cool.
- 34:18Speaker 1: We been mad cool. We been mad cool for a
- 34:21Speaker 1: number of years. You know what I mean? But like
- 34:23Speaker 1: I says, I knew I did enough to win that fight.
- 34:26Speaker 1: But when you fight somebody that ain't a home turf,
- 34:28Speaker 1: you know, politics again.
- 34:29Speaker 3: What does the audience do for you psychologically in the fight?
- 34:32Speaker 3: Like booing, cheering? Does you think it really helps?
- 34:35Speaker 1: Sometimes. Sometimes because sometimes you might be beating a dude
- 34:38Speaker 1: asking him to hit him with a good shot and
- 34:39Speaker 1: everybody go, oh, and you might not know you hurt him,
- 34:42Speaker 1: but that shot hit him clean and the whole crowd
- 34:45Speaker 1: might see he's stumbling. So sometimes I can hear on
- 34:47Speaker 1: my corner very clear sometimes on the corner. Like I
- 34:49Speaker 1: hear everything. I can hear my trainer's voice cut through everything.
- 34:52Speaker 1: So yes, it does help. But when I'm training, I
- 34:55Speaker 1: have the music on blast. And people ask me, why?
- 34:58Speaker 1: You want to hear your coach? I'm like, I can
- 34:59Speaker 1: hear him talking. They think it's a joke. And I
- 35:01Speaker 1: can hear like a pin drop in the back. That's
- 35:03Speaker 1: how my hearing is. And I'm so used to dealing
- 35:05Speaker 1: with the confusion, like the crowd don't even bother me.
- 35:07Speaker 1: Like I'm just zoned in on knocking you the fuck
- 35:09Speaker 1: out or beating you up. You know what I mean?
- 35:11Speaker 1: So noise don't really bother me. Crowd don't really bother
- 35:13Speaker 1: me because I've always had haters and people talk shit
- 35:15Speaker 1: about me growing up. So that shit don't mean nothing
- 35:17Speaker 1: to me.
- 35:17Speaker 2: That was an interesting question, because I did want to
- 35:19Speaker 2: know what fighters think. It's probably playing off of what
- 35:21Speaker 2: he said, right? Now, on the flip side of it,
- 35:23Speaker 2: say when another fighter's doing good, like for instance, you
- 35:26Speaker 2: and Ruiz hometown, right? So, he get a couple good
- 35:29Speaker 2: shots off on you, and now you hear the crowd
- 35:31Speaker 2: hype for him. I'm not even bullshit. It doesn't even hurt.
- 35:34Speaker 2: Watch this motherfucker.
- 35:36Speaker 1: You know what I mean? So, you really have to
- 35:38Speaker 1: be a really, like a lot of people are boxers.
- 35:42Speaker 1: They're not really fighters. Like, you have to be a
- 35:45Speaker 1: fighter like When somebody hits you, like that shit hurt,
- 35:47Speaker 1: but I'm going to hit you back 10 times more now.
- 35:49Speaker 1: And that's how I always feel. When somebody hit me too,
- 35:51Speaker 1: I got to get my six. You know what I mean?
- 35:52Speaker 1: So I feel like it's really a mentality thing. It's
- 35:56Speaker 1: a fight game. You're going to get hit. You're going
- 35:58Speaker 1: to get hurt at some point. But what's going to
- 36:00Speaker 1: happen after I get hit and get hurt? It's my turn, motherfucker.
- 36:03Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 36:03Speaker 1: So you got to have that. If you ain't got
- 36:05Speaker 1: that killing you, most guys, they make it to a
- 36:07Speaker 1: top really fairly easy because of the promoter money behind them.
- 36:10Speaker 1: But when shit really get hard and rocky and it's turbulent...
- 36:13Speaker 1: motherfuckers don't return. A lot of them just crack and
- 36:15Speaker 1: don't come back. And I see that all the time.
- 36:17Speaker 1: I'm like one of the last guys in my age
- 36:20Speaker 1: group that's kind of like started when I started, still
- 36:22Speaker 1: hanging out. Still doing the damn thing.
- 36:24Speaker 2: Got you. Real shit, definitely. A lot of them faded away.
- 36:27Speaker 3: I mean, y'all making heavyweight category pop again, bro. It's popping, bro.
- 36:32Speaker 1: We doing what we can, man. Especially me. Even though
- 36:35Speaker 1: so much resilience in myself is a lot of pushback
- 36:38Speaker 1: from certain people, but I'm in a good space right now.
- 36:41Speaker 1: Network is on my side. I got a match room
- 36:43Speaker 1: on my side. So the main thing right now is
- 36:44Speaker 1: just every fight, just look better, stay in shape, stay healthy,
- 36:48Speaker 1: stay out of trouble, and go whoop ass.
- 36:50Speaker 2: Got you. Now, how was it overcoming the whole, the
- 36:54Speaker 2: allegations when you was banned for a minute? How was
- 36:57Speaker 2: that whole process for you, man? Because I know that
- 37:00Speaker 2: was tough.
- 37:01Speaker 1: Yeah, man, I lost a $ 30 million contract because of
- 37:03Speaker 1: that shit.
- 37:04Speaker 2: Damn.
- 37:04Speaker 1: Yeah, bro, so. Mentally.
- 37:06Speaker 3: So what do you feel when you lose 30 million?
- 37:09Speaker 2: Damn.
- 37:09Speaker 3: Do you cry?
- 37:10Speaker 1: I cry.
- 37:11Speaker 2: I mean, I definitely cry. I cry like a motherfucker.
- 37:13Speaker 2: I lose 30 million.
- 37:14Speaker 3: I agree.
- 37:14Speaker 1: In total, like, two fights are going to equal that.
- 37:16Speaker 1: You know what I mean? So, yes, it hurt. I
- 37:18Speaker 1: cried about it. But I remember one of my boys,
- 37:21Speaker 1: he was doing 18 years in the joint. Now, he
- 37:22Speaker 1: called me one day. He's like, yo, bro, you sound depressed.
- 37:25Speaker 1: I said, I'm fucked up, bro. I don't know what
- 37:27Speaker 1: I'm going to do. I probably got to sell the crib.
- 37:29Speaker 1: Me and my girls fucking re-fighting. My ex-wife at the
- 37:31Speaker 1: time was like, And he said, bro, you got to
- 37:33Speaker 1: think about it, bro. You just lost, go get your re-up. Nigga,
- 37:36Speaker 1: you just lost the pack. Nigga, just get a re-up
- 37:38Speaker 1: and start over again. And I was like, and I
- 37:41Speaker 1: was like, oh, this nigga's right. It's like, you got
- 37:45Speaker 1: to hustle to get your re-up money and then you
- 37:47Speaker 1: get the big pack and then you back on top.
- 37:49Speaker 1: And that's, when he said that to me, it was like,
- 37:52Speaker 1: this motherfucker's right. But I'm like, He said, what you
- 37:55Speaker 1: got to do is now, you know how to get there.
- 37:57Speaker 1: So let's get there a lot faster now. And it
- 37:59Speaker 1: took a lot longer than we wanted to, dealing with
- 38:01Speaker 1: lawsuits and piece of shit people.
- 38:03Speaker 2: Of course, I remember the whole process, man.
- 38:04Speaker 1: You know what I mean? But because of that mentality,
- 38:07Speaker 1: every day I just take it as that. And no
- 38:09Speaker 1: matter how you start, it's how you finish. So, you know,
- 38:13Speaker 1: he's still in there and it makes me think about
- 38:15Speaker 1: every day that I'm still in a better place than
- 38:18Speaker 1: a lot of my peoples.
- 38:19Speaker 2: Of course.
- 38:19Speaker 1: A lot of my brothers from the block and my
- 38:21Speaker 1: family and whatever. So I have opportunity. I still have health.
- 38:25Speaker 1: I still have my wits about me. I'm not punchy
- 38:27Speaker 1: like some other fighters. So I have opportunity, make the
- 38:30Speaker 1: best of it. Just keep driving me to make the
- 38:32Speaker 1: best of it. Because I know a lot of fighters
- 38:33Speaker 1: are retired or older now. They regret or they could have,
- 38:36Speaker 1: should have, would have back in my day. I don't
- 38:38Speaker 1: want to be that motherfucker. I'm like, every day I
- 38:40Speaker 1: wake up, even this morning, I was tearing a little
- 38:42Speaker 1: bit because I'm talking to my son before I'm looking
- 38:44Speaker 1: at all the pictures of him. And I'm like, yo,
- 38:45Speaker 1: where the last 10 years of my fucking life went?
- 38:48Speaker 1: Like 10 years of my life went by like this
- 38:50Speaker 1: and I'm still grinding. I'm still pushing. And I'm like, fuck,
- 38:53Speaker 1: you know, God is punishing me for something. I don't
- 38:55Speaker 1: know what it is. He's testing me for something.
- 38:57Speaker 2: He tests you, man. God is good. He tests you, man,
- 38:59Speaker 2: because you definitely blessed. You very blessed. So he's just
- 39:02Speaker 2: testing you, man. He's just giving you some obstacles.
- 39:03Speaker 3: Well, you're number one worldwide, so you can't complain.
- 39:06Speaker 2: Of course, man.
- 39:07Speaker 1: I'm not gonna always complain, but who the fuck gonna listen?
- 39:09Speaker 3: You ain't lying.
- 39:10Speaker 2: Ain't nothing wrong with wanting more. Like you said, you
- 39:12Speaker 2: feel like your story ain't complete yet. You feel like
- 39:15Speaker 2: you gotta get that title where you sit on top
- 39:17Speaker 2: of the throne, and then you go.
- 39:19Speaker 1: Then I gotta have a moment to breathe. You know
- 39:22Speaker 1: what I mean? Every day I'm walking around for the last,
- 39:24Speaker 1: since I was a kid, I'm walking with a 45-pound
- 39:28Speaker 1: ball with weights on the side, walking everywhere I go.
- 39:30Speaker 1: You know, people ask me, I have a car, why
- 39:33Speaker 1: is this a big gym bag? I say, that's my burden, man.
- 39:35Speaker 1: It's like the book of Eli, bro. Like the book,
- 39:38Speaker 1: I got to carry my gym bag. If I'm not
- 39:40Speaker 1: sticking to J train and the A train all the time,
- 39:42Speaker 1: all these years, my bag always had equipment, my clothes,
- 39:45Speaker 1: my extra clothes. Like this is my burden. I go
- 39:47Speaker 1: nowhere with my gym bag. It's in the truck right now. Yeah,
- 39:49Speaker 1: it's in my truck right now. Because I always feel
- 39:52Speaker 1: like I might work out. It's like that's my curse.
- 39:55Speaker 1: It's like my gift and my curse. So if I
- 39:57Speaker 1: forget my gym bag, I forget my tools. So even
- 40:00Speaker 1: when I wasn't training, the gym bag being the car,
- 40:02Speaker 1: I'm looking like I hate this motherfucking sport. But damn,
- 40:05Speaker 1: can't leave this motherfucker home.
- 40:05Speaker 2: Got to be consistent.
- 40:06Speaker 1: Got to have the weapon on.
- 40:07Speaker 3: That's how you got to stay consistent when you're not fighting,
- 40:09Speaker 3: waiting for the next fight, right?
- 40:10Speaker 1: That's it, 100%. And I said it's... It's times where
- 40:13Speaker 1: you kind of fall off, but you got to catch
- 40:15Speaker 1: back up. We're not always going to be 100 all
- 40:17Speaker 1: the time, but just getting up and doing 1% every day.
- 40:20Speaker 1: And I really took that to the heart. Like, all right,
- 40:23Speaker 1: it ain't going to be the best day today, but
- 40:24Speaker 1: do something. Just keep doing something. Just keep chopping away
- 40:27Speaker 1: at it, because everything's in numbers.
- 40:29Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 40:30Speaker 1: Just got to keep going, keep pushing. Rob Markman, Jr.
- 40:31Speaker 3: How do you bounce back when somebody hits you fucking hard?
- 40:35Speaker 2: Because boxing is a force. Man, when you get hit
- 40:39Speaker 2: with a good shot. I know, but still. When you
- 40:42Speaker 2: get hit with a shot. When you get hit with
- 40:44Speaker 2: a rock your shit pose, you know what I mean?
- 40:46Speaker 3: Yeah, like how you feeling, man? What you thinking? Should
- 40:48Speaker 3: I just, you just hug him? You just hug him?
- 40:50Speaker 2: Sometimes a good grab will get you a little, yeah.
- 40:53Speaker 3: Like who hits you the hardest in the ring?
- 40:54Speaker 1: It depends.
- 40:55Speaker 2: Honestly, it was in sparring, really.
- 40:56Speaker 1: It was never really in one of my fights, you
- 40:58Speaker 1: know what I mean?
- 40:58Speaker 2: It was.
- 40:59Speaker 1: I was playing with Daniel Kitchko, and I was at
- 41:01Speaker 1: two pro fights at the time, and he was a champion,
- 41:03Speaker 1: and I remember they said, this motherfucking cracker. I'm like, whatever,
- 41:05Speaker 1: that's why boy ain't doing nothing. That motherfucking cracker.
- 41:07Speaker 2: I said, oh shit. I heard dig dig dig. I said,
- 41:10Speaker 2: the bell rang. They said, no, motherfucker, move. I said,
- 41:12Speaker 2: I started running around the ring.
- 41:13Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
- 41:14Speaker 1: So that just, I mean, when you end that so
- 41:17Speaker 1: many times in that same predicament, you learn how to survive.
- 41:22Speaker 1: So if you get hit with a good shot, it
- 41:23Speaker 1: depends on how far the opponent is or how close
- 41:26Speaker 1: he is, because if he's close enough, you get hit,
- 41:27Speaker 1: you grab onto him, you lay on him, or you
- 41:30Speaker 1: retaliate real quick and they might back up. Or if
- 41:32Speaker 1: he hits you with a good shot, you circle around.
- 41:34Speaker 1: But the main thing is having a good poker face.
- 41:36Speaker 1: You gotta be such a good liar as a boxer.
- 41:38Speaker 1: A lot of guys don't have a good poker face.
- 41:39Speaker 1: They don't know how to lie. I'm a great liar
- 41:40Speaker 1: in the ring. I'd be dead tired. I'd be like, yeah, motherfucker,
- 41:43Speaker 1: I'm going to beat your ass. I'm dying on the inside,
- 41:45Speaker 1: but I'm never going to let you know I'm dying.
- 41:47Speaker 1: You know what I mean? So I feel like, yeah,
- 41:49Speaker 1: it definitely happens in the ring. You get hit with
- 41:51Speaker 1: some good shots, but it all depends on space. You've
- 41:54Speaker 1: got to kind of understand your surrounding and play the game.
- 41:57Speaker 2: It's chess. Who do you think you'll have a harder
- 42:00Speaker 2: time with? Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, or Tyson Fury?
- 42:05Speaker 3: That's a good question.
- 42:07Speaker 2: Hmm.
- 42:10Speaker 1: I think Deontay would be the hardest one, to tell
- 42:12Speaker 1: you the truth. Because he's so unconventional. And I tell
- 42:15Speaker 1: everybody that. AJ would probably be the easiest one.
- 42:17Speaker 2: 100%.
- 42:19Speaker 1: Because AJ is very European stiff. He's technical. Very technical,
- 42:24Speaker 1: but he doesn't have swag. Tyson is a white boy,
- 42:27Speaker 1: but he got black man swag. He can bounce around,
- 42:30Speaker 1: have fun.
- 42:30Speaker 2: Tyson like the undertaker. Yeah, yeah.
- 42:32Speaker 1: He get back up, take crazy shots. You know what
- 42:34Speaker 1: I mean? And he's not as predictable, but I've sparred
- 42:37Speaker 1: Tyson plenty of times and rocked his shit, right? But Deontay,
- 42:41Speaker 1: and I sparred Deontay too and whooped his ass a
- 42:43Speaker 1: couple of times. We'll be talking hella shit. But Deontay
- 42:46Speaker 1: hit the hardest, and he's a little older now, but
- 42:48Speaker 1: he's awkward.
- 42:49Speaker 2: Yeah, because he don't really like the conventional way of boxing.
- 42:52Speaker 2: He's not conventional.
- 42:53Speaker 1: And I feel like the reason Deontay Wilder, his last
- 42:56Speaker 1: name is his whole style being wild. He's training Malik Scott.
- 42:59Speaker 1: I know him. Very good guy. trying to sit him
- 43:02Speaker 1: down and be conventional, and that's when he started getting
- 43:03Speaker 1: his ass whooped. His style would have been wild, throwing
- 43:06Speaker 1: crazy haymakers from out of nowhere and knocking motherfuckers out.
- 43:08Speaker 1: When you become conventional, it's easy to read. If he
- 43:11Speaker 1: go back throwing wild haymakers, you start knocking dudes out,
- 43:13Speaker 1: no problem. I feel like him, if he does conventional,
- 43:16Speaker 1: I'm knocking him out easy. If he go a little wild,
- 43:18Speaker 1: it's going to take me some work. That's how I feel.
- 43:20Speaker 1: I think he'd be the hardest one because of his awkwardness.
- 43:24Speaker 1: It's hard to read.
- 43:24Speaker 2: I'd like to see that fight. 100%. What's he rank
- 43:27Speaker 2: right now?
- 43:28Speaker 1: He's not even in the rankings.
- 43:29Speaker 2: Damn.
- 43:30Speaker 1: You're not on top 10 rankings, not that I know of.
- 43:32Speaker 2: He done fell out. He done fell out for a
- 43:33Speaker 2: long time.
- 43:34Speaker 1: He got pussy whooped.
- 43:35Speaker 2: That's the whole shit.
- 43:36Speaker 1: That's the whole shit with 50. So me and 50's
- 43:40Speaker 1: in a bodybuilding show. We in Jersey. And I'm sitting down.
- 43:43Speaker 1: We sitting down on the stage side. And 50's like, yo, baby,
- 43:47Speaker 1: what are you going to fight? I said, I don't
- 43:49Speaker 1: want to fight. Nigga, you acting like a bitch. He's like, yo,
- 43:51Speaker 1: I'm going to hook it up. I'm going to hook
- 43:52Speaker 1: it up. I said, how are you going to do that?
- 43:54Speaker 1: I'm not going to fight. He's like. Tell me something
- 43:56Speaker 1: about it. I said to Chickie, you see, Chickie Dillon
- 43:58Speaker 1: used to be my side joint. He was like, ah,
- 44:01Speaker 1: I got you, got you, bet. So next day, I'm
- 44:02Speaker 1: going to interviews, whatever, in the city. My phone blowing up.
- 44:05Speaker 1: 50 talking hella shit. Yo, you know, Big Baby, you know,
- 44:08Speaker 1: the box, da, da, da. And Deontay, girl, da, da, da.
- 44:10Speaker 1: You know, Baby used to hit that first, da, da, da.
- 44:12Speaker 1: So the whole shit went viral. I'm like, that's not
- 44:14Speaker 1: how I said it. I was like, I'm giving a
- 44:16Speaker 1: little insight. But 50 took that shit and ran with it.
- 44:19Speaker 1: And then Deontay was, I guess, at that time, Shorty
- 44:21Speaker 1: had just got pregnant.
- 44:22Speaker 2: By him?
- 44:23Speaker 1: Yeah, by him.
- 44:24Speaker 2: Oh, man.
- 44:24Speaker 1: And I was like, this sucker ass nigga. But the
- 44:27Speaker 1: whole funny point was that he talking crazy on the internet.
- 44:29Speaker 1: And I said, when you see me in person, nigga,
- 44:30Speaker 1: talk all that shit. And when he see me, that
- 44:32Speaker 1: nigga just go left. I'm like, you a bitch. Oh, man.
- 44:34Speaker 1: You know what I mean? But that's boxing.
- 44:35Speaker 2: We have to make that fight happen. The real report
- 44:37Speaker 2: going to make that fight happen. I'd like to see that.
- 44:40Speaker 2: I'd like to see that. Let's make that fight happen.
- 44:43Speaker 2: Let's make that happen. Yeah, that'd be a good one.
- 44:45Speaker 2: Y'all got the history and all that. Let's make it happen.
- 44:49Speaker 1: And he called me. It's so funny. He called me
- 44:51Speaker 1: when he first started dating up. And he said, yo,
- 44:53Speaker 1: you know, I'm dating so-and-so. And I said, bro, that
- 44:55Speaker 1: ain't the one, bro. He just won the belt from Stiverne.
- 44:59Speaker 2: I said, bro, you the champ, bro. You can get
- 45:00Speaker 2: any bad chick you want.
- 45:01Speaker 1: That ain't it, bro. And look at us, like eight
- 45:04Speaker 1: years later now, seven years later now. Yo, I put
- 45:06Speaker 1: the steps under my well. I'm like, man, sucker ass
- 45:09Speaker 1: for love.
- 45:10Speaker 2: So you think that messed his career? That got him
- 45:12Speaker 2: out the other day?
- 45:13Speaker 1: I don't think it messed him up. I don't really
- 45:15Speaker 1: think it messed up his career. I think it definitely
- 45:17Speaker 1: had some problems towards the end. Because he was losing...
- 45:21Speaker 1: no fights before she really pulled the plug on him.
- 45:23Speaker 1: Which is kind of sad that when you're going through
- 45:25Speaker 1: hard times and then she want to pull the plug, right?
- 45:27Speaker 1: Because fighters are emotional. I'm not sugar-coating shit. We have
- 45:32Speaker 1: up and down emotions like a female because we have
- 45:34Speaker 1: to go to war.
- 45:35Speaker 2: So basically, if you about to fight and your girl
- 45:37Speaker 2: leave you, you fucked.
- 45:38Speaker 1: You fucked up.
- 45:39Speaker 2: You fucked up.
- 45:40Speaker 1: You fucked up. Yo, you definitely going to be fucked up.
- 45:43Speaker 1: I mean, some guys can put the fake, it could
- 45:45Speaker 1: motivate you more, but I just feel like, especially your
- 45:48Speaker 1: main girl, like you put Tom you know, emotions, money in,
- 45:53Speaker 1: and you getting ready for a fight and she acting
- 45:55Speaker 1: the fool, like it definitely gonna fuck with you. You
- 45:57Speaker 1: got a kid with a girl too, it messes with you, bro.
- 45:59Speaker 1: So I feel like, you know, it just sucks. And
- 46:01Speaker 1: that's the part I feel bad for him, but at
- 46:03Speaker 1: the same time I don't, because niggas warned you.
- 46:06Speaker 3: It is what it is. Damn, I would think that
- 46:08Speaker 3: would motivate, because you know how when a dude argue
- 46:10Speaker 3: with his girl, he go outside, he's mad and shit?
- 46:12Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 46:13Speaker 3: He might just beat everybody up or want to just
- 46:15Speaker 3: hurt everybody. So I would think that would motivate you.
- 46:18Speaker 1: At some point, but it might get you too mad
- 46:21Speaker 1: to a point where you're not focused, because remember, boxing's
- 46:24Speaker 1: a chess match. So you can't go in there swinging
- 46:25Speaker 1: bombs and they go blocking all your shit and you
- 46:27Speaker 1: get tired and then... You know what I mean? You
- 46:29Speaker 1: got to still be calculated. It's not just... Boxing's not
- 46:33Speaker 1: all emotion. It's really like Chess, you got to sit
- 46:37Speaker 1: back and think, you know, and a lot of guys
- 46:39Speaker 1: don't know how to think in the pocket. You know
- 46:41Speaker 1: what I mean? Like you in a shootout, like niggas
- 46:42Speaker 1: go to war, never been to war, niggas stand up
- 46:46Speaker 1: and get.
- 46:46Speaker 2: Shot, kid trying to run. Motherfucker, you cannot run.
- 46:49Speaker 1: You got to sit down low and just be in
- 46:51Speaker 1: the cut and be like, wait till the bullets start
- 46:53Speaker 1: firing and look around and then be going to make
- 46:55Speaker 1: a move. You know what I mean? So everybody don't
- 46:59Speaker 1: act the same way under pressure.
- 47:00Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Crazy, man.
- 47:04Speaker 3: Crazy. It's crazy, man.
- 47:05Speaker 2: But y'all stop ducking the chip, man. Stop ducking the chip.
- 47:08Speaker 2: Stop ducking the chip, man. Stop ducking the chip.
- 47:11Speaker 1: I'm back. I'm freaking back, man. I'm back, man.
- 47:14Speaker 2: He back and he want the title. He want the belt.
- 47:16Speaker 2: Let's make the main fights happen, man.
- 47:19Speaker 1: I got to come on the mixtape or something. Come
- 47:20Speaker 1: out with the mixtape, bitch.
- 47:21Speaker 2: Everybody. Just everybody, man. Go crazy, man. Let's do the
- 47:26Speaker 2: wrap-up version. I better be the wrap-up this year. Oh,
- 47:28Speaker 2: we got you. You definitely in the wrap-up this year.
- 47:33Speaker 2: You definitely in the wrap-up this year.
- 47:35Speaker 1: I'm the most religious person at the wrap-up every year.
- 47:38Speaker 1: I'm the most religious wrap-up person in real life. I'm
- 47:40Speaker 1: waiting for this shit to drop.
- 47:41Speaker 2: Definitely, bitch. I make that shit. Nah, yeah, you in
- 47:44Speaker 2: the wrap-up this year, my brother. You in there.
- 47:46Speaker 3: You know what I got to ask you before you
- 47:47Speaker 3: get out there?
- 47:48Speaker 1: Let's go, let's go, let's go.
- 47:48Speaker 3: Who got the best Jamaican and Haitian food? Queens or Brooklyn? Okay.
- 47:52Speaker 2: Okay.
- 47:52Speaker 1: Now, the best Haitian food is not even in New York.
- 47:54Speaker 1: I'm sorry. It's in Broward. It's in Broward. It's in Florida.
- 47:58Speaker 1: And I have three aunts. I have three aunts. I
- 48:00Speaker 1: have a lot of aunts that I don't even know about.
- 48:02Speaker 1: But some of the best Haitian food is in Florida.
- 48:05Speaker 1: But my aunt, if it's in a restaurant. Now, if
- 48:08Speaker 1: it's home-cooked food, of course, Haitians are all over New York.
- 48:11Speaker 1: So I don't think the best Haitian food is in
- 48:13Speaker 1: a restaurant. I think it's in somebody's auntie, mama's kitchen.
- 48:16Speaker 1: Because my aunt, she cooked hella great food.
- 48:18Speaker 3: They got a spot on Linden. That's crazy. You got to.
- 48:20Speaker 2: Send me that. They're just trying to push this away.
- 48:23Speaker 1: But now you want to talk about Jamaican food now.
- 48:25Speaker 1: It's a couple of different restaurants. Like me, I like
- 48:27Speaker 1: Peppers over there on Utica.
- 48:30Speaker 2: Brooklyn.
- 48:30Speaker 1: On Nostrand over there. You know what I mean?
- 48:33Speaker 2: No chance of Peppers. Peppers lit, you know.
- 48:37Speaker 1: I think every spot got a different, different, you know,
- 48:40Speaker 1: one spot have good oxtail, one spot don't got jerk
- 48:42Speaker 1: chicken very well. I mean, Fisherman Covo on Church Avenue
- 48:45Speaker 1: and Flatbush over there, they got some of the best
- 48:47Speaker 1: jerk chicken because they cook it right in the grill,
- 48:48Speaker 1: slap it up, you know.
- 48:49Speaker 3: What I mean?
- 48:50Speaker 1: But my cousin's Belizean, you know, and they make jerk
- 48:52Speaker 1: chicken crazy. They slapping the Corona on and all that,
- 48:54Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So I feel like every
- 48:56Speaker 1: Caribbean background is different areas for different dishes.
- 48:59Speaker 3: I done been to Jamaica, they cook it with wood
- 49:01Speaker 3: and sand.
- 49:01Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean?
- 49:02Speaker 1: So I feel like, I don't think one spot got
- 49:04Speaker 1: the best of everything. I mean, this spot have good oxtail.
- 49:07Speaker 1: This spot got good jerking. This one got good festival.
- 49:09Speaker 1: This spot got good roti. You got sings over there
- 49:11Speaker 1: on left foot. Queens got roti. I'm a foodie.
- 49:13Speaker 3: I might start recording. I could never find a festival
- 49:15Speaker 3: at no Jamaican spot.
- 49:16Speaker 2: What? It's always gone. Man, go to Pepper's over there
- 49:18Speaker 2: on National.
- 49:19Speaker 1: They always got festivals.
- 49:20Speaker 2: I'm going to have to pull up to my brother Foo,
- 49:21Speaker 2: so he got a food show feed. Oh, let's do it. Yeah,
- 49:24Speaker 2: you got to pull up to his food show. They
- 49:27Speaker 2: have a lot of fun over there. You got to
- 49:28Speaker 2: pull up to his food show.
- 49:29Speaker 3: Anything you got in the future you want to tell
- 49:31Speaker 3: him before we get out of here?
- 49:34Speaker 1: I don't want to be, I want to be a
- 49:35Speaker 1: little more positive.
- 49:35Speaker 3: You know who got the Russian on the hit list?
- 49:37Speaker 2: You could be as negative as you want, man. Who
- 49:40Speaker 2: got to get knocked out, man? Be as negative as
- 49:41Speaker 2: you want, man.
- 49:42Speaker 1: I'm going to say this first. I'm going to start
- 49:45Speaker 1: positive first.
- 49:46Speaker 2: Yes, go ahead, man.
- 49:46Speaker 1: I'm going to start positive first. In life, you have
- 49:49Speaker 1: your plan and Allah has his plan. Meaning that just
- 49:54Speaker 1: because the plan don't go according to the plan, don't
- 49:56Speaker 1: mean you can't quit. Just find a way to divert,
- 49:59Speaker 1: fix it, a different way, a direction of getting there.
- 50:02Speaker 1: Life is never going to be perfect. So just keep
- 50:05Speaker 1: going at it. Keep working hard. Just keep learning. Keep researching.
- 50:09Speaker 1: Do your homework. And, you know, keep God first, man.
- 50:12Speaker 1: Keep that faith in your heart. And make sure you're
- 50:14Speaker 1: doing the right thing, too, because good energy follows good energy.
- 50:16Speaker 1: So do good, you get bad good, right? On that note,
- 50:19Speaker 1: when it comes to, you know, getting to your goals.
- 50:21Speaker 1: And no matter what, man, don't let nobody tell you
- 50:23Speaker 1: from your goal. Fight tooth and nails to get to
- 50:25Speaker 1: that motherfucker. Now, on the boxing side, fuck all your asses.
