Glad that you had me on Man, Thanks for coming on the show, Champ, no problem. So how is everything? How are you handling this lockdown quarantine situation with you and your family? I'm handling pretty well. I mean this it is like trying the camp to me when I'm using training the camp, we don't down. Yeah, we don't locked down. We won't do nothing. So I've been training. I think I lost about fifteen pounds already, so really, yeah, I'm taking a real serious. My auntie and my uncle that coed Corona and my cousin New York co Corona too. But that's it. They're doing fine right now. So you know, everything's been going with prayers for them. Man, prayers up to him. So he said, they all recover from it. Oh, yeah, they all recover from me. So I'm happy. You're also going to spend time with kids. Yeah. Man, My two babies three or four years old, and uh, you know, we've just been spending a lot of time together, going outside, running around. You know, they've been in the house, trapped in the house, can't go to school, so they just been tearing everything up inside the house. So now let him get away with a few things up. So what's so, what's training like? You know what I'm saying. I know you said you've been training. What's that like today? I mean, you know you uh, with everything going on, all you can do is train like it's different from like when you're training for an opponent. Now you're just trying to just to stay in shape, to stay on top of things. Yeah. Right now, I'm actually trying to just lose weight because I'm a guy get high and when I get to, like to the hot one eight is probably one of these seats. So right now trying I'm running two times a day, running the morning time three miles and running at night about four or five miles and a sauna suit. And then when I go to the gym, were just hitting the bag and then I'm hitting the midst twenty thirty minutes with my coach. But it's just me and him in the gym like nobody else going there. I mean, I shot out the DJ shot the DJ DJ. That's a connection I got. Um. He came to a couple of Big three games and uh and made him plugged up a night and then we admitted a couple of fights. So shouted to your train of DJ manybe here. Good dude, he slid. Dude, appreciate that. So you're fully healthy right now, I mean, obviously depending on this pandemic. Do you guys have a target date of uh, next time you're supposed to get in the ring. Oh, it's supposed to be either October and November. I don't really have a target day yet. You know, I got to a bad accident last year, and I told me tim, I got to a bad accident and then, uh, you know that kind of delayed my return. I supposed to come back ain't that January, but then I got hurt. So I've been out for a while. So in all actuality to pandemic really been helping me out a lot, and basically, yeah, recovery and just you know, taking my time to get back. But I'm already back on my hundred percent. I went to a facility in the Cleveland where they checked me, I'll check my brain, give me mr eyes and things like that, and everything went will so you know, everything's doing good. I think no restriction, no restrictions, right, no restrictions. No my training set spawn I can't spare yet because I got my teeth knocked out. I actually got to. I got They put two posts in my mouth, with three posts in my mouth, and I'm waiting on them to heal. And once they healed, then I get my my permanent teeth, and then I'll be able to just bro I've been there. I've been, I got, I got, I got, I got into the shoot. I got hit by a caring Indiana knocked off my teeth out. So I've been there broto Now. They had to put post, but I had to have platic surgery on my lips and my teeth and no anesthesia for two hours. Well talk to us, take us back to that that night. Obviously blessed to still be here. I think the world has seen the actual accident, uh October two night team you escaped with your life and a funny not funny, but you know I've heard people speaking you speak on not wearing a seatbelt possibly saved your life. Yeah, because I talked up well man, just being reckless. I just want to just be the shann porter, so you know the hell of Yeah, I want somebody on that too. I want somebody at it appreciate this, so I'll just be shown porter. So you know, I feel like I want to top the world, you know, having from my friends. We're going places. We just came back from from Miami. I dropped my flor I had a friar for eight you know how fast those are, and something haven't had stops. And then they just flipped. They just flip flip flip flip over. And then I got objected from the car m because it was convertible. I got jected from the car, and then you know the rest of history. I woke up. I woke up in a in the hospital, and I don't even remember being a hospital. I don't think I remember being at home three weeks later. So, so what kind of what what? What? What damage to your body? You spoke un knocking your teeth out, any other major damage? No, no other major damage to you. I think Angel with me because I didn't bring any bones, um, no fractures, no anything. You think it was hurt like my neck, My head was hurting, both of my shows hurting. All this was scraped up. My shoulder was scraped up. My lads is scraped up, but you know I came back. I came you know, basically, you know, on scathe like I mean, because I should have lost my life there night, and I definitely lost my life to night if I had a seabed on. Man, let's take a step. Let's take a step through right back before that situation in September twenty nine. You know, the youth like you said, you are unified the belt beat Seawan Porter in the hell of a fight. Um talked to us about that experience. Man, that that was. That was a crazy fight. Jack and I both obviously shouted you out. You know, I've been a fan four minute, Jack been a fan four minute. We were. We did all little shoutouts. But but to be able to watch you to go to war and you come out on top and and and pick that belt. I've talked to us about that. It was a great fight. I think I made a lot harder than it was supposed to be because, um, you know, just the way drop I came down from I think hunting eighty nine pounds, you know, the hunting at forty seven. So in the matter of probably nine weeks, so the whole training camp was running two times a day, you know, hitting the bag and the signing suit, you know, just training and signing suits and just just plenishing myself, losing weight, and I just made a lot harder than what was supposed to be and um, you know, I could have made a lot easier. It was a great fight. You know, we both showed a lot of heart in the term when nation. I know he's been kind of for a rematch, but unfortunately that's gonna have to wait. You know, I got a lot of so I don't want to see that again. I don't want to see that again. I don't want to see that again. You got guys like Manny pack out that I've been, you know, trying to find the cash cat right now, he the cash caw. I definitely want Garcia Bud Crawford been talking. Is you got some formidable opponents that have you real quick. I wanted you to touch something because I don't think people understand that I used to play football, so I used to try to do the quick but the cutting weight and how hard that is mentally physically. And then like you said, you sound like you walk around about normally, that you're normal walking right away, So to come down into the one forties. Like as athletes, we know how fun like for like a basketball for that ship is impossible, But tell me what that's that process is like, and then how hard it is to kind of, like you said, still have your full energy and be able to take a punch and do all that ship when you're down like you said in nine weeks down almost forty hands, that's insane. You basically have to cut everything, like your water in, take your food in. Take you're running twice today like I would running twice a day in the signa suit on my pants on my legs, a sona suite on top, you know, working out in the sign of suit. You know I'm not getting I'm not drinking that much water. I'm probably drinking and probably I would say probably like twenty six ounces a day really if that, you know, I'm eating probably twice a day. You know, I'm doing all that just to drop dropped his weight so I can you know, so I can win. But it takes a lot of a lot of hard work. But you know, I'm always in shape. I'm always in shape, so you know, I don't think they played a big difference in the fight because I'm always in shape. But I think, you know, if I would have been more disciplined, it would cut it a lot earlier. It would have been a way easier fighting what it was. Hey, I remember, I remember video. I remember seeing this video. I know you remember you in the hood at something, big dude in the hood. I want to just try you thinking so I'm sweet. I want to go blow for blow to the body. And I say this this how I knew you know we are from texting, so I could. I can see some served neighborhoods and I know what it looked like in Texas. I said, this hot new earl was the real with big boy called him out. I wanted to go by blow for blow right there, somebody pulled out the camera. You folded him up and he had you bout a hundred pounds. Now that my problem to d Ray, But that's what we do. You know, you gotta he got the jail. You got a jail too, So he thought he was tough. I guess. I guess he got the kid dudes out of the jail and things. So he got out thinking, you know, thinking it was sweet. So we called it. So we gotten the gloves went by to the bodies. We do, We're getting the gloves and go by to the body and we'll blow full blow. We didn't get another fact, that's how we didn't getting gloves. Were just fished. It was just that's all about to say, y'all. Wasn't even any gloves right there, A little was just fish. That's what we do was just buy to the body. Yeah, how would up how would a Floyd fight play out today? But both you and your primes, if if Floyd wasn't this prime, you and your prime talk to us about what that kind of what kind of dream matchup that would be a focus in my prime. I think I'll be Floyd. Yeah, ain't running. You know what I'm saying. E're gonna walk him down, earl, earl, won't you ear I want to be shoulder to the shoulder with you the whole fight. Yeah, I was talking about talk to us about that. Though you can't just tell us you go to to talk to us. What would be the game playing, the mental strategy of that. Uh well, Floyd. Floyd really is very mentally to very mentally tough. Um, you know, I would cut them off. I'll use my jab with a lot of people like even though I still a whole your fight. I still she used the jab a lot more. HOWLD use my job throw combinations. I worked the body and then work the head because a lot of people they go to the head and then work the body, but they go for the head and then you can't hit him in the head. And then you know you can't hit him in the head. So I work the body and work the head, and then you just trying to break them down physically, because I know it's not breaking down intally. He just did one of those top fighters, just like Sean Porter. You're not gonna break him down into that. You can break it down physically, but mentally he's always gonna be there, So I would just try to, you know, break him down physically. M There's been a back and forth a lot with you and Bud Crawford, obviously trying to figure out who the top you know best Walter Way it is obviously you got the belts, but what does that like back and forth? He just said something recently, I want to say, just a few days ago, talk about you said it's gonna suck you up with some ship like that. What is it? What has that been like? Back and forth, because all it could really be right now is speculation and talk. You're right now, just back and forth talk. Me and me and Terence Proffer. We actually faced ting to each other's before, and that's why, you know, that's why I got some would kind of respect for Terence Proffer because we faced on each other. We talked about it, you know what I'm saying. We talked about it. We came to meet your understanding that the fight is gonna happen. You know, it's a lot of politics involved, and you know, the money and I might not be all the way right right now, but it will be right and we're going to fight. But you know, guys like like him, I kind of respect guys like Keith Thurman. You know, I really don't have that much respectful you know, Danna Garda see I respect when I see him. You know, he comes off as a stand up guy now pack Yeah, he's a stand up, stand up guy all the way around. You know, it's just some guys that I just can't can't miss with. But you know, Terance profit here, real dude in my book. But you gotta make sure that fights on showtime because me and Jack will be front road suited and and let's let's talk about the Texas ties with the Charlos Charler brothers. A lot of people don't know how y'all connected, and how y'all became so close. And I know y'a can sell of y'all got got the same trainer, But talk to us about that. Me and Charlos asked, she got cool and the amateurs It was probably about fifteen. We got cool. And then actually one of the Charlot's beat me. I can't remember which one. I think it was Jamal. I don't know what I'm saying that you know that come up all the time beating the amates. I was like sixteen. He beat me the amates out of sixteen. Then we just got real tight. And then Jamal had turned pro. Jamale had turned pro, and Jamal stayed around and me and Jamal got real tight. He got super tight. And then after Jamal leftist coach. Jamal asked me, he was like, man, I need a coach man you think I can work with with Darry James, and I respect I would spect Jamal because he can't of met first you kind of me was like, yo, you got a great coach. You know, can I work with him? He can't meet for him in Canada there, and I was like, yeah, show no problem. So he started working out with there and then start coming down here and then we just got even tighter. It was like my brothers from Houston right there. Mm hmm. That's what's up basketball being obviously a team sport. Boxing is you you wudn't that ring by yourself. It's a little harder sometimes to break through as kind of an individual household name. When do you feel like you became a household name? Uh to boxing? Oh my thing. I became a household name where I really start seeing it when I thought at the when I thought out the ATNC Center, when I fought the A tenC Stadium, and uh, you know it was I was like, you know, I made a cat. First, I was nervous. I'm not gonna lie out there. I was like, man, I want me to see this out like you think like y'all trying to burist me. Y't to have like nobody stands y'are trying to burish me. Thinking I said this out it like you said it out. And then when it happened, I was like, man, I can't wait do it again. But it was just a humble of humble experiences seeing you know, people from my hometown and people that I grew up with and just see him, familiar faces in the crowd and everybody coming out to watch me fight. You know, it's just a great experience and humble of experience. Like, man, all the people came out to see me win. You know, even if they seemed to see me lose. You know, it still came out. You know. That's why a little about it the most mm hmmm. So we know you got a long, long boxing career head of you got a lot to do. But what are some things that that you're looking at that you're getting into now that's that you can start that you're setting up for after after boxing? Like, what are you gonna do? I know you commentated a couple of fights, you know what I'm saying, But what what's some things that you interested in doing after boxing? Hm? I actually I got a promotional company or I got a few fighters on there. Bertie Brooks, you know man Rashidi. You know a couple of guys, so so that's doing this thing. No guys they are about five and well he's six and al right, he six he's sixing al right now, so you're doing the thing sixing over five knockouts. So he's doing this thing, and you know, basically, just save my money, man, save with my money, you know, make sure I don't waste it buying crazy things, buying royal races and type of oft the wall things. So that's the main thing for me to make sure I save my money is just you know, stay for because he winning keeth stacking the bread. They got some of they got some of their kids down and put out the Texas And when we started looking up for boxing, they got some little roughnecks down there that needy shot the strong too. Obviously, you know, any of the major three major sports football, baseball, basketball, we all kind of resort back to fighting boxing UFC. We're all huge fans of that because I mean that's that one on one. To me, boxing is like the most mainly in UFC because like the most manly ship you could do. You know, I mean, like you could be tough on the basketball court the football courts, but their motherfucker's in the rings is really tough. Um. You you have a lot of fails. Obviously, Jack and I being one. But you built a special relationship with Damian Lillard, and uh, you know you talked to us about that relationship because you even got him boxing now as one of his training methods. And I boxed from my Crest steel box, and that shipped to me is one of toughest workous I've ever done. Yeah, I mean, b always been my first love, even you know, since I was a kid. I mean, people played basketball and football. Walking home for school, he was gonna get into a fight with somebody, kid, fight with somebody like And I had an older sister too, so you know, dude, say something crazy to my to my older sister. You know you got to fight. You know, my sister he's a fight all the time. I remember walking home for school. My sisters fight every day. So I mean, you know it's sad to say. You know, that was just you know something that you know, we always did, you know, even as little kids. I mean it was in I was in like second third grade walking home to school, watching kids fight and getting the fist fights and stuff like that. It was just it was just the culture. But you know, me and Damonlivery, we just gotta you know, respect for each other. You know, I respect this game. You know, he wanted the best best in the in the league right now, and he put it in a lot of work and um, you know now he's taking the boxing and doing this thing too. But you know it's just a mutual space. We ran into each other and my coach actually went to it. I missed you because I was in l A or New York for My coach actually went to the game where they played the Davis Mavericks, and um, he did his thing. I think he had like for the pour plus points. What's your what's your whole game? Looks like? Who game? I? Who game? Who game? You got? You gotta who you gotta who you gotta go? You gotta played football? You got did you play? Did you play those sports growing up? When did When did boxing become your number one sport? I played football growing up, but I started boxing at fifteen because I started getting in trouble and my dad was my dad. I guess he got worried because I was getting a lot of trouble. He feels like I was hanging around, you know, the wrong group of guys. And he used to say, you know, I don't mind it. You know it's basically, you know the devil. You know, I'm not doing nothing summertime. He got me there at summertime toil. You got me in summertimes. I was just hanging around doing nothing, to hang on my friends, you know, walking the streets. He was like, you know, I'm gonna get him a boxing. I don't know why I thought of it or what made him think of it, but he thought about boxing. And you know it's been it's been a history ever since. That's what's up. We missed a question I wanted to ask you earlier. As a basketball player, you know, I was someone that really had no major injuries. I tore my meniscus into me. Coming back, I felt physically fine, but mentally I was still tripping because I didn't know how my knee was going to react when I just wasn't prepared, like making it prepared, you know, basketball's reaction. So I'm wondering if you have that same kind of thought process the first time you go back into sparring, you know, with with with the situation, through the accident, with your face and how your teeth and you got some new teeth. He got some nice shiny teeth like me and Jack now, are there any like worries of like what's going Like, what's gonna happened that first time I take, you know, a left hook to the side of my face that's funked up? Oh no, man, I'm really okay. I mean I feel like I'm different. I'm just I'm ready to fight. I've been waiting for a fight day since man, since probably was since January. I've been waiting for a fight day. You know, I was gonna fight in August, you know, so push it back to Dctorer November, which you know, which my parents are happy because they're like, man, you don't need to jump right back in there. I'm like, man, I'm ready, like the doctor, the doctor said, the doctor gave me a green light. I was like, I'm ready to go, you know. So, I mean, it's just feel like I'm it's a blessing that I'm here. It's a blessing that I wasn't, you know, severely injured. You know, I wouldn't. I didn't break anything either, You're ready to fight, and and the doctor couldn't believe it to the doctor was like, man, I can't believe he didn't break anything, Like it's a blessing like they end up what was going on for somebody to get ejected from a ferrari and to land on on pure concrete as before I was flipping too, so I land and for the four not to hit me. They're not laying on per con creating. You know, I break everything in my mouth and you know, and not you know, have any facial fractures, and now that's scarred up. And for me to still be walking, you know, I feel like I'm here for a reason, Ain't no question about that. Say all right, if you could, if you had one NB player, NBA player that could walk you into the ring before your fight, who would it be? Oh one, I say, Lebron James M hmm, Yeah Jack, he's your favorite. He's your favorite one to watch, um right now? Yeah, he's my favorite one to watch right now. Yeah. I just respect. I just respect to him, not even I don't feel you what to do outside outside of the NBA. That's why I respect him a lot. You know, you didn't have nothing to do with basketball. I just you know, family man. Yeah, put his homeboys in place, Yeah, put it home in place to win and things like that, like you can't do not speed, No scandals with him, No nothing, man, I mean there's coming from somebody like him us to how the temptation coming his way? It's tough. What I couldn't do it? What is it? What is it like to you though? When you when you when you walking, I know it's best. It's different because you're in constant you know, focus during the fight. But I know, what is it like when you see stars come out to watch you? Superstars from other sports come out to your fight and watch and you see them sitting ringside? How does that make you feel? Pump you up? Pump you up, definitely get your blood flowing. Like I think my last flight was like Maddie Johnson, you know, Larry Bird out there and things like that pumped me over. Just man, you're ready to fight and you really ready to show out too. He's like, man, I gotta show out in front of them. I gotta show out. I didn't say no was there and things like that that, Man I gotta show out sat content next like so it just it really just makes you want to show out. Has has there been one celebrity that stood out? You're like, damn, he's here. In particular, she's here in particular, Is there one that's that comes to your mind when you've seen them in the crowd. Uh No, because I don't. I don't too much looking to ground. Okay, So I was wondering because said, there's more time for basketball. We have time amounts and ship that we could sit and talk and look who's over here. But in Boston it's a whole another mindset. Yeah, you can't. You you're not trying to. You really locked in, like you got time and like it's like this dude trying to kill me. I'm trying to kill him. I'm not trying to in nothing like the other person. I can hear I can hear my mother because no matter what, Yeah, I can hear us screaming that distinct boys like I always hear screaming. Don't matter first two to around. I can hear the voice, always would know for the most part. You know, you just locked in on your opponent. Mm hmmm, go ahead, Jack. Top five boxes of all time, Top five all time? You're top five? Do you have to do? Order? Just five however you want. Don't have to be one through five, Just five boxes. Pill Wakawe sug Jerald mccomor, g man Man, Muhammad Ali. Of course, Terry Nors, Terry Norse. People don't know about Terry Norris from Texas. Yeah, sir, and Lennis Louis Nicks Lois, we got that Jamaican connections. So that's that. That job that to it was get that. Say for the three three three fight deal. Money is everything you can imagine. The money is perfect. Who would be your three opponents three fight deal? The money was perfect? I do pack Yeah, Tarans Crawford and who else? Dan got? See you? No Floyd? Oh well he was tired right now? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly exactly that money training. Okay, so man down is the model? Right? Oh yeah, best knockout so far to you has knocked out so far? Bund Do. It was in New York, Linar bund Do. I knocked it out of my head. Yeah. When I hit him, I can't, I can't walking. I had walked out with it. That's why it looked pretty good. His body went to as I walked out. So the pretty one ye favorite boxing movie. I don't have a favorite boxing movie because they also faith to me. I'm like, I was never like, I don't remember. I hate rock I hate I hate that ship because I mean they were trying to do it. Took him like threefold months to getting this to meet this monster and be in the tiptop shape on like man, Rocky just it wasn't real to me, So I didn't like it. See that's love hearing that perspective though, because like I said, we feel the same way about like when they try to do bath like motherfucker's hard to emulate basketball players. That's why basketball ship don't work. So it's it's interesting to hear you say that because, like I said, it's if you're really in that sports, you know that's not how ship really works. But sometimes the movies like Chasing Chickens and stuff. Man, I was my coach from the rain. Somebody got said, I'll be back tomorrow tasting the chicken. Man, we all we all on quarantine. What you binge watching when you're not training? Narcos um what else? Of course? Um Man, I didn't rewatch the Game of Thrones because I've been so wholly Game of Thrones and ship. Man, it took me. I've watched all that ship last year and probably like a month because I was never into that kind of my my mind never took me there something to just like give this ship to try. That ship was unbelievable. That's dope, especially ending. Yeah, it was dope. Sped the Mother They're they're supposed to have Mother of the Dragons. They're supposed to have some other ship coming. I think, so I'm not mistaken. I thought she died though, but I think it's supposed to be a prequel. Okay, yeah, I can see the actually that I mean, ain't so much so much money out for I know you weren't a tough weight loss, uh you know, dropping weight, trying to share weight right now? Is anything you like to snack on? Though? During these lockdown times? Right now, I'm pretty much like in like I don't really know snacking on nothing. Like I'm like then, like if I shave my frieze right now, there's nothing in her book but waters, I'm like, and I already got my my organic food everything. Like I basically eating healthy right now because I'm I'm trying to trying to go back to what I used to go go to be like one eight, one eighty five. I'm trying to stay at one sixty so when the fight come, you know, it's not hard because he used to be hard on me. I'll be wearing like one eight and then next even know, I got a press conference. I go to press conference, and I'm spending my whole day in the press conference. And I gained like six pounds. Its being in press conference, just because you know, you're losing water your body like a sponge. And when you're losing water, when you and then soon you drink some water, you're getting a weight just like that instantly. So so now I'm trying to do it the right way and just how I did it back when I was, you know, broken, just hungry, and I used to wait just one and then I got down on one fourth. The saving real smooth. Tell tell people what it's like like when you say you're locked in. Tell me what you're what you're eating, ritual is, and what kind of food you are eating well right now, like anty the morning time being a whites eat avocados, um, spinach um. For lunch, I'm eating spinach or I might eat a salad. I might eat a salad with some eggs and egg Whites in theer and ne York because of York is mainly just fat um for dinner. I mean chicken brists, um, little brown rice, um, nothing, Friday everything, steam and stuff like that. So basically I'm cutting out a lot of jump food. I'm a big jump food even when I've been trying to camp like, I eat a lot of need a lot of candy. Yeah. How hard is that though? Because that disciplined, that that's that's everything, Because I said, I used to cheat like that too when I play, because i know I'm gonna bust my ass working to be fine for the season. Now I'm done and I'll be eating that ship like, oh, this ship ain't gonna come off that easy. You know. How tough is that? Mental discipline? Not just to have to always eat the right ship. Um, the first I say, the first three weeks, first three weeks till a month is tough, Like it's toughest head. Once you get through that first month, then you're good. But their first month is tough. He keep me very back or especially on the weekends Friday and Saturday Sunday. On the weekends, you know your friends might come over, you know somebody doing somewhere. You're go on your mother house and your mother got chips and got cakes and out and got solders. You know, you're talking to her, you're talking to her, you're eating at the same time, and then once of your home, step on the scale like damn, I gotta go running, and then you go running again and you gotta work it out there and the next week. So you know, basically me, I just stay home, man, I just stay home because I know I'm not that missy until walking to go over somebody house and I'm you know, and I don't look at the cabin. I don't look at the fridge or they're cooking something, and I say, no, I'm not gonna eat nothing. You know, with me, you know, food is my guilty pleasure. So you know, when it comes to food, I'm gonna eat. That's why I get so high off. And wait, so you know, right now just cutting everything. And I'm kind of glad now because now I'm not going on on mother house. You know, she kind of she locked in. She's quarantine up. You know, my dad quarantine up. So I don't go over there house at out because you know, I'm not hanging around anybody. But you know, I've still been around my kids and stuff like that, and my kids with their mother, so I don't want, you know, I'll be the reason why my mother and my father kissing anything. So you know I haven't seen them probably like him off. That's tough you you are being from Texas. I know you got a great with ship with Yellow Busy and you got you got a big background and you're deep in the Texas wrap. But what are what are the artists you listen to right now? What you got ona repeat? Um? The new little baby, the new little baby. Yeah, go little baby coming to his own especially, it ain't more right. He was, like, you can actually hear what he's saying, right, he got a story, He got a story to tell. Yeah, he definitely got a story to tell, like you can tell like dude, dude comes you know, from the streets. But I'm I'm rocking a little baby heavy. What's your definition of all the smoke? Because you dropped that line constantly in your press conferences, so I mean, obviously that's the name of our show. What is your definition of all the smoke? My definition for all the smoke is, you know, I want to all the smoke anybody. That's anybody, if your boxer, whoever, whoever, want to fight. And that's how I came up. I was coming up. I was like thirteen for us. You know, car did not keep throwing and shine for the all these Yeah, you know, now I got two bills, not a guy, and I'm the you know, I'm the money guy right now beside Yeah, not this guy want to fight me? You know, like I tell him, I tell I want to fight you too. I want to fight Keith Throwing. But if if it's not making sense right now, like Keith Throwing want to fight me now you just said that he'll fight me and Terence Crawford. But me, I'm not interested fighting and Keith Throwing because he didn't want to fight me when I was coming up, like for three or four years, he was like, who is this guy? I want to fight? He hadn't done nothing. He did this, hedn't did that. So once you get in the position to fight me, then I'll fight you before right now, you know, I'm looking at Packing, I'm looking at Terrence Crawford, I'm looking at you know the topic. You know, I want to smoke for all the top guys period. That's what's up. There's a chance boxing can come back, and and this was something that the NBA possibly could be faces. What are your thoughts on possibly fighting in an empty arena? For me, it don't matter. I mean a lot of my trip you're talking about. Hey man, we're just to fight for freeze. So long as that check the same, we're gonna we're gonna get, We're gonna get. It's gonna be the same down. It's gonna be the same beat down. Whether there's people in the stands or not, it's gonna be the same beat down. So long as the check right, we're gonna get in there. We're gonna fight. Talk to him, Wait, what's your what's your take? What's your take on boxes? And and and how's your Twitter game? And you're talking you're talking ship game on social media, Like, what's your take on that? Oh? I don't really, I don't talk. I don't talk on Twitter to people un list you know, unless it's a reason to like Tance Crawford. We might go back and forth. But I'm not talking talking crap to somebody I don't know, you know, don't respect you know something, random guy like that. They gotta be gotta be a reason for me to talk crack to like Tance Crawford. Got to be beneficial. You gotta be in fishing. We got something going you building, I fight up. We're gonna fight each other soon, we're gonna make We're gonna make money off this ship. So we we're gonna make money out there. Like I'm not arguing with Joe Blow about nothing. And he not in my training camp. He's not another person training to camp. Nobody knows who he is. And he want to talk craft because I got I got a lot of heckless, a lot of coming for you coming from the hall. I'm trying to talk about my car accident. I clicked out the car everything, you know, just you know, I decided just to the normal because I'm not gonna see him in person, right, you know, you know somewhere else. In closing, what do you think you've learned the most from your car accident? Um, don't take anything for granted. Around that time, I was taking a lot of stuff for granted. I think I was, you know, I was heading down that way anyway. I was heading down that path, you know, to destruction anyway, you know, and I was taking lots for granted, and you know it was showing, you know, even if in the shan shann quarter fight. You know, it showed I was, you know, slacking a lot of stuff, even the Mike Garcia fight, even though I beat him mysore rounds and I wanted every round. You know, it's the power wasn't Yeah I could have finish, Yeah, I should have finished some, but the power wasn't there because I was trying so hard to make weight, Like even that Mike Garcia fight. Matter of fact, the dad away and I was sitting in a sauna for hour and I didn't swit, and I had a sauna suit on and I had a hoodie on. Everything. I didn't swit to like an hour being in there, and that was just the make weight. Yeah, that was just the right weight for the hour drain. And then I could only go up ten pounds so I couldn't. I had to watch for e and and what I drunk. So you know, I was already hit it to the shot. And I think, you know, that car accident was out over there for me. Like I'm like, like, you know you're tripping right now, get back on your stuff. You know, you say you do it for your family. You said you want to be great, You say you want to be a llegen, you know, get back on your a game. So you know, it was just you know, I think it was. It was a buss and I got into that accident, and you know, put a lot of things in perspective that I didn't put it in perspective at first because I was just so on the high, you know, I was, I was, I was floating, I was sloating. So to say so, you know, it would put me down, knock me down, knock me down. That's good though, man, because one the one, the one thing I appreciate here. And you say, you know, I've been through my own ups and downs in my career, but it's where it's where you go from that. You know, we we we we we we were throwing in success and we're not expecting all the success. But you worked your ass. How can you deserve it? But at a certain times it's certain things that we have to learn on our own. But to get the opportunity to go through something like that and to realize, okay, bam, I do have a great I do have a great situation. I escaped something that most people don't escape. I gotta I gotta go a different direction from here, and I salute you for I salute you from understanding that and admitting that, bro, because lot of people they don't mistakes, they don't learn from it, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, Now I had to look at myself in the mirror. Man. A lot of guys, you know, they're getting the accent, they do something wrong and they don't look at themselves in the mirror. Somebody else can do something, they'll put the fat on them and blame on them and be like, oh, he did that, he did that. There, critique that person. But you know, when it's time for you to look in the mirror and critique yourself, A lot of guys can't do that. And that's why, Yeah, to do that for myself, just critique myself and like, yo, you're tripping, man, get back on your a game, because it's I'm the hunting right now. It's a lot of guys that behind me like how I was, and they're coming up behind me and it's asked on my chest. He shan knocked me out straight up.
