place is just my heart mother sister it's just we were for a jog today I beat you fear who serve me so it was already well the dog for their people getting forehand from walking the dogs and all like the few people message me was like maybe you want to be careful jog and we just began funny serious money but two and a half a big bean you don't mean yeah crazy there's big check points the stuffin if you know they'll travel more than two people in the pair all these things like my crazy well I actually saw the a lot of pro wars in Spain actually came from versatile entir comes me game so I think the Adelanto fans came over to France here and then they brought her own horse with them and then obviously when you feel a stadium full of people I'm half a mother crown horse like tomorrow yes bad this board a this I'm Stan I'm thinking about investing in their coffins [Laughter] that's the name I swear to God don't be surprised you don't see that the next six weeks well add John oh come here how long have you been living in Spain Spain about three years now yeah not for three and a half years baby-free the minister's pagans let me know if they'll okay so necessarily need speak Spanish English over here everyone's on holidays espresso you bump into lots of people it's just like this but I feel big man sometimes when I can speak language they got me one I can understand a lot and stuff like that for speaking is it from confidence because it leaves my shade for two years so it was well had amazing weather over there and then to go back the oil and for the key gyros it was a big day coming up f you yes Australian send business Spanish is up no to be honest like did ya Australians like the Spanish kind of a lot and speak English and couldn't get the origin English bantha where they start straight and she would like I'm a [ __ ] off with it and you'd be like oh jeez I was only joking with you you know the cars I saw only Messing like they just don't get that Irish and English Queen the banter you know what I mean where's everyone over here so it's not too bad much better I have to say what it is but what age you actually started out boxing as well Jonah almost a pox on the 15th so it's quit BAE actually the game was like 15 but I wouldn't I wouldn't Orleans and like in second year boxing the second year box know I had 22 fights and no losses because I was a I was training like twice a day I really just get this fella by so basically had 242 me for sure box and in the LAN stuff I know this fella beat me I just had a bad day you know I mean I was like what bit him like it was just I'll show the blade to the venue I have no big box ability to butenes went wrong like and there yes or all years like again over 61 for steel job then I was trying an adverse pure stinkin honest fellas hairdo next time we see it like so yeah I met with a lens to stand before the next year that and I stopped them on the 15 point Billy absolutely destroyed and with it so from there on I think it was just like cause I got being I just didn't like that taste of the feet you know that's not happening to me again so we just kind of took a serious then that was all for me you know yeah did you play any other sports as well yeah play loud also played Holden I played gay little played football and played everything literally all sports you know what watch much sports Ballou playing sports I'm quick time to the Queen I mean who's interested in doing sorry at the onna as long as it was sports you know yeah put me in the classroom one didn't play many sports actually helps you in boxing because some people say playing multiple sports is actually a good thing rather than just being solely focus on 100 cent yeah most definitely but at the same time I think once you decide to be a boxer then you need to for all our eggs in one basket and just focus on the one sport you get me because you have time to be their own holder things are taking up injuries and other sports for you pick up a note from the box and you don't mean as it is so I think it's one I think it's one of them and I'm always playing soccer at the time when I started boxing I mean I just want me and said this it's it's one area so another man boxing is not a sport that you want to become a number two in because you get hurt so it's whether you choose this so you choose suck or what you want to do number two you're right now your record is ATM one-on-one yeah I started off kind of aim just the only because I lost it the only because they enjoy their honor look I didn't mean it with our tone proud because they thought was gonna make the money or I was I just doing it cause they enjoyed for me I was always like it keeps me out where trouble one box you know case McLean the occiput keeps you off the blade drinking Heidi and Hollis to but still feel it man so it was a it was just good guidance in my life and I mean me teenagers it was great guidance and then they broke me resource went out the Reds a little bit I need to copy self on here so and that's why I just bought the Floyd and gosh I and Floyd I shade and then hey then there was just forward over there literally this is just I just find it was poor hard and just went back to the gym you know anime just for the sacred and they there was one of those in there trying and inspired him he was trying to first like second or professional for you Marshall I know it went out the ring for like a year and a half two years and I don't know just Byron and I like bother me you know a not know no offense I don't like what's battling wait knows that [ __ ] his fellows trying for a professional shot cuz I just do an outer ring for a long time yeah wait in order to ensure he would have battered me because he would have been much fitter would have been just flowing you know do you think do you think we're boxing you don't lose it like actually twice of yourself then he came back and he was just back to the races do you think not falling for a year you didn't really lose a step or maybe just a bit of sharpness that you could polish up on hey see Tyson Fury is a very different case those insecurities he's been boxing solo as a kid and then for him to be at a ring like it's not like it's just going the weekend back in the break it's crap for him we're the only stag when I was 15 and it stopped when I was 18 till 20 1920 and instead when I was not sure I look 20 you start boxing here so it's only really boxing flick three years if you get me so it's a bit different like don't me run along to other islands in in space of three years so we don't actually really really where I had like 69 for it so it's fine every blame weekend and pool yeah it's one of them things it's whether you have or you don't you mean it's like there's loads of times people say to me I just think I could be a professional boxer look if you want it higher Denorfia course and then I'm like Samuel video there yourself box and so I'd be Cynthia video and you're like listen man you nation it's not being bad wait for Jesus you just happen it's one of them things my dad's now watching closely see a lot of kids come in and some kid on this falls day it could be bad this one kid that's in there waiting six seven months you know I mean so some kids just have with some kids don't you mean and it's boxing's all about waiting it's all about timing and you need to have it for hook so you need a better song yeah and Charlie you really showed a much improved game on Amina and then always play possible in your last boy you dismantled scar quick and that's thus no mean feat and he's won the Best British boxers in a very very long time I think he was pretty long gone into that buy you beautiful beat him from pillar to post I think any time from the sixth round onwards that fight could have been stopped and then you got a mailer there in the 11th and watching from your previous boots against a farmer and Garrity I thought you actually sat down when your punches a bit more this time and without more in the game plan or has been about yeah for sure well the thing is for the gate before in the file for was the one chase before always the one coming forward so you're always clean the leading with their without rhythm they're bleeding Toyman and all that and you're trying to like get them out of it might get them out of Homer swim I was home for so you don't you're not able to sit on that back foot too much you know you put the power comes from your back foot you know and and the thing is I couldn't bother them or count the pointers so we couldn't sit back on the back foot and wait for them my calendar points there so it was very much me don't come forward and I gone towards every time it's gonna break there with me get me so Scott quick we knew he was gonna come before so I knew if we set the pace and only one plan to me fee fainting and then sit down with a shot to make cuz the thing is as well we knew I couldn't hit him if I shot two meals because if it wasn't Horton he just he just walked through your punches because he he's a professional seasoned pro you know he knows how to put the ring in the house hell to blade just couldn't take up punching and push it forward the only so I knew I need to have a bit of power enough for you so we've done a lot on sure in tradition and yeah I said and we shot a lot like someone's I'm sorry sponsored I don't know as Mabel to show you a works I then have been only and I just sat down on a bone with him and was hired shuttle a time now you can't just step in anytime you want you know that way so yeah it was definitely a much better performance for me but I think it's only a little glimpse of what I'm actually capable of don't ya you're also well-known for like your stamina as well you can you can just keep going for ages once where'd you get that from a walk colors yeah but you don't this is how drink berry mare was the only don't know that my luck there have known else till it was out jogging today just for an example most people when they just had for you in a Tony more off like everyone equality so like I'm still trying them still jog and we still keep feet cuz I look at the sport he had to probably go wreck melted but wasn't trying so I'm always trying but at the same time a you know what I think it's funny story when I was in the amateurs or some hats down I wasn't like so as almost his hobby father I was always going for like a reality exhausting tutorial and I always just push trail look I said a Whoopie water is in the [ __ ] in me three years of boxing so halfway down to that half-full it down to look I don't mind pushing shooter pain by just cuz I've been doing them since I was a teenager you know to me like when I'm tired I'm like I can overweight I don't worry about your buddy like just takes instructions off a brain you know someone to look back enough with something of Jesus Christ how are you still gone we know he's [ __ ] like ground for the cardiovascular very good last point and there was no letter whatsoever and like I said from pillar to post you were all over him you were like garage he actually made him look so i'ma Church it's just a very very impressed thing to do and I think in the super featherweight sort of division Valdez been mahatma moment Oscar Valdez um he only went he he went the full 12 against quick you go to Mayo there so I mean you're definitely putting your name up there for another world champ ship out very soon is that we have next in the knowing or would you rather for you baby Carl Frampton or something big big for you in the UK and Ireland or what have you got in store next for you sound great to me I mean damn when you make herself I'm more than happy to accept I wouldn't buy myself a new calf oh yeah it's just more than things he just I'm always ready so whatever comes up after I willing to accept the foods for sure but if have found the wink means your money I'm most definitely will be I'd be happy to step in the ring with him pose it be a world champion and in most about this what a Floyd that would be you know I mean he's a big name you can bang but at the same time I think people I had a fight but I reckon I could do to ask about this it's got quick yeah [Music] and then we could we can box him or gonna box him for sure no he can box as well you can walk down and bang and he's good hands paid you know books I think I could help box him maybe it definitely I had a freaking quick will it be a FA for a career for sure because as late as well fruits look at cuz I want a spare Mohican watch thanking him because he you follow him he follows you on his crime so I want this party to the poor or ie friendly or what's the story there the ACO friends would make a cool friends with all family I know tired Shana knows baby just put her you know spire their photos everything like it's just an another family for years since he's on the oil shy much of him that always looked at me can respected make you know am and then I went out to where once I got spamming that's one if Monica went over the monocle Dan despair make for a few weeks of the fingers there with two weeks and we stayed or stay in the same room was a man or you know so okay those they have moved born his foods make was over with me for that last camp but he wasn't always find me around but he was he was in Spain we were both trained together sanatoriums the whole lot and so yeah I'll make very well I think he's gonna be a massive name for the future across from hearing them what we won't see you across the ring from him anytime then no I don't think so I don't think so for a woman wait to meet you up to simple federal would become totally wait outside because understand a few a lot Marion on a man I'm scientific bulk and I'm doing a lot of strange condition and so a I don't know we reckon I reckon I belonged Lou late once I get a world for the sequel further it's another person who you seem to be good friends with now is Katie Taylor as well I we saw that you previously fought the same crowd as her in Philadelphia and you think a lot of like she's probably around most they loved oh yeah well what what's your what's your relationship with Katie like what was she like as a person for people don't know cause she's very clean hearted yeah she is she isn't she isn't when you know she's one of them people she keeps herself to herself you know what I mean book yeah once you know how issue she opens up a whole family is lovely I know a whole family as well and how much I saying this very close close-knit you know so we're used to spare Katie back in the high performance days then two years I [Laughter] always stayed up we didn't really buy from the bath I was like you know but she am Ray J like you used to have to watch the body shots and make sure that you're poking their elbows in because she did towards the body a long time she didn't you know I'm not messing I used to just no problem hit the girl man because she liked the lads like the trainers no big firm you split push up might push her back carry against Ralph row for OPI mean because he enjoyed was a maybe 16 she would have been 18 on all didn't saw where she was buying the juniors and the units where is we went we didn't have that man strength so that's we she was in the same way it was me she was sixty kilo I know he was champion at sixty kilo was the amateur and so that's where we used to spare all the phone book yeah known okay very very weird and was dilute to have fun on the undercard which was amazing you know because the fact that she's like one of Ireland's most baby back rib sandwiches I remember sitting there getting a boost home from the blade Piper farm much poor face on on the on the bush sponsored care home and they were here oh yeah helping the bill in America you know okay that was a bit you got a brilliant photograph with her sorry there is a semester of Sloan to start your and Philadelphia that's I think you look back in that night 50 years and be like whoa what a moment yeah for sure it was myit but it was great you know what was even better mean poor race through few steps at least yeah video says she's blowing P is profuse like that she can't be up as using a pair of runners a wooden ones like make using the herbs and it tooks either I'm gonna play cook C or lady want me the race or rocky steps is like your and he was like I betcha that he was for it I suppose well so are we that's okay come on uh like that I was like ready stable about like that open responsible every now I'm blown Peters never gave me money is there anything I'm being a rock ohh-ho-ho has always done it's brilliantly yeah she-she's a to phone oppa I am on a radar Nell Serrano has seen I don't know beats adultery honest UK beats everybody she's just played badly you know I mean she's for a female what surprised me is that she can crack she can thank her for a female you know I've spied many women in me day at force this got brought up spine girls used to bash me for their okay so we had no problems angers just fire kept Kelly - which is a she won a war she won a war and I was only talking Academy I see like till two days ago you know still keep me touch work and she was the fourth girl they ever spared actually she was the first person I ever spared I'd like 15 she played and post me now was not she really did bother me like Katie but Kelly actually did by the me she pushed me knows no I was like I want revenge on horror I'm come by cuz my show ever see you never do is beat down on anything so you're gonna [ __ ] and come back from you cannot beat me that doesn't quit you cannot beat your mind that doesn't quit you know it's like if that if that farmer for you had to went on tour D realms only one man that was quitting there you know I mean they're just on unfortunate for me that [ __ ] there's bills and regulations he went and lost his next why didn't he and he was like a Jay Paul card yeah he didn't lose his next four he lost the one after that let's make it what you make it this YouTube boxing going on as well what's your thoughts not leastly not against oh I'm not weird I'm not against every month or a man dared to make money Shh like to make money but the same time I don't see way a world world toyo blatant holla should be pushed down the cab for you think they can get up works and then boxes are the cards Omar you haven't got a big Pro for and that this either or clearly those youtubers are now getting on before I mean so hurry up on the carrot pool for me look I don't see the Jay Paul and the blade or the one that the whole night was built around them but no issue with that look on their own the care no no what do you think that's no problem whatsoever because the thing is actually better as well for Bob just because it brings it brings a lot of light to the box and that maybe like you know the kids and people who have followers a box and kind of puts a bit more light on the box and that's gonna help the sport she own game for you know I mean happy oh it's cool go for boxes you'll have something about them like yourself like I mean see that beard you don't forget it you don't mean Ross apposite now like you're mean yeah 100% and the teeny the swelling I can have a bit of bond and I can slide people and have a laugh I don't really take yourself too seriously I'm in the boxing ring or even the press conference or any of that so just have a laugh and enjoy me how experience enjoyed enjoy the day did journey not just this nation you know I mean because it's common sooner or later I'm gonna be a war so I'm just want to enjoy the whole steps that I'm taking right now people are enjoying the entertainment so yeah I am and I always stay without you cessation of box week you don't even need to be the best boxer in the world hit the poor poems on steets and it's true Joe no I think that's one thing about you you have fun about that people actually really want to see and I remember after Washington Gary close like right I've never missed no Giancarlo I was like I was exactly Josie just entertain and from pillar to post what from you know press conferences weigh-ins to for yourself you're like he's just cool crack yummy nose like and the big beards also like makes people forgettable as bad then it's a car okay King Kong is like you to know me get up the toy is weak and I was [ __ ] John around [Laughter] with the situation that's going on a handbook when another bit of notified in for the end of the year I feel that that will happen next 12 weeks do you think one thing with the crown verse is that well it's one crore lawyers over say July August like the cards and the sports minister and I absolutely banging from been on it but you mean they're gonna have some like your ages cards don't know yeah you know what the only only bad thing that we see with the whole thing is so many people have for its loin book but they're gonna have a backlog of forest if Queen decay with Charles because we have three three or four close friends one wade in the next plane day the day of his fleet he shoot the whole show their home let's say you slap and have no way miss that one the hat is paired to boxing so he's playing gone mad or they deeply they need money because boxing's wanted to Emma coin I'm ready forests in positional I got paid these money but like a lot of these boxes are in like in the category again look for six minor for you know under bleedin just again a bit of failed for the next play a couple of weeks so then this crown before is the mess and a lot of teams going back at Freud no wait no no Louis born actually happens for all in a week so I think if there should be like probably know you're already like Dow bringing minigraf Freud Ansari to folks in route yeah that's that's a good show they don't know what to shows for different well and they got a massive massive hit I think a minute and hey you know I'm not sure exactly yeah it's a good show and they're gonna have to do water we're gonna have yeah we'll be posing and who you want or I know you're like that's who I want to be honest what you said you know they asked about this but it's also lose our jobs with Diaz know who farmer lost it in his last week and he got that he got that blueprint to be family of me and he [ __ ] of me this well he takes them until he takes a month on Instagram two days a doesn't was like don't annoy me or he set the blueprint to be him and you know it laughs oh yeah and he thinks we fight them until the next day or so he takes me back and he was like a little a face ma actually did you look I watch you you're some farmers for the morning a flame I knew that was funny to do step in the body and to the head for there was always said some was like yeah you just didn't do is your composure he lost me composure I got too excited to to alien remember just he just stayed kill calm even though he got the cooks well so yeah it was master just just experience yeah that's just experience I mean that he would he won that for you because we game time was a mom we came Pam was [ __ ] spot-on and it was just experience let me down on that for you would you want out for it to be in America or where is my father I have to inspire come fearless I only have a for once and Oakland sounds like we never for you know so I don't want for it anywhere in the world is very chance Pete yeah you in three minutes no I don't want that world tour Amana would it would have definitely been a great come home for you or something like that industry Rana would have an amazing week a you would for sure sell arena oh yeah Irina doubt for in the Manchester arenas like totally chill tells my song about it's a blatant vehicle beanie you know I mean and it wasn't packed to the rafters that move your point you know so we'd love to go to the training of course or would you ever do an outdoor venue because I think if it was you maybe dude Aviva yeah as well yeah that's what I'm saying if you got me calling on that party going retirement if you got the noise of me and even probably you were strapped to me prompting will be it will be at hate on there me purses Frampton for that my fingers crossed the because thing is we have the same management team so it's pretty easy for it to be made if he doesn't work so please God please God the doors but listen almost like [ __ ] everyone the house that really really really cared he's been Orleans played top playing past boxers you know so normal respect for himself they're easily develop yeah that's what we know how to respect for my yeah - poor rafting so we want to put a predicament here right I've seen poison furious fight you jump a wall there again for a territory and aunty Joshua is fighting against so what's name do that too laughter you hosting Ruiz but like after those two boys the winner who do you think is gonna win each for you and then who do you think wins the final if you know what I mean if you have to call these to say it's easy work easy to hook for Tyson Fury but AJ it's like easily for bone and then they I believe no security place where age is rather I think I do is very cool box up it's just not is not the standard that Orion is toys just more like a smarter his little fain to travel to our bounds on time you know let's just say judgment needs to have his fecal asset to be anyway effectively I mean at all big shots and then these are he's already been failing though you know so Tyson Fury now has been able to set the blueprint the behavior so I just hang first if you only used its the man on the mission right now please guard the chair Ardis ridiculous stuff about bores me or some movie here he goes buddy Samaritan does the cheaper okay every single one of us for each my knees like if he's not fat he's not even often good he needs to be huh a little bit fat to be effective yeah and everyone knows when you're paying steroids you just bulky then you can eat loads and just rip up the bits you wanna miss oh [ __ ] I know he loves pretty those of a book story so I say missus critical I assume someone looking there and a few clicks yeah for sure that's all I reckon his family would say it's just some [ __ ] before but as a boxer who's being clean is how we feel I made this so my eyes how then where do you think AJ first in his fury will go down do you think of it happen in England anyone for sure or Saudi Arabia yeah so much money so much money you know what I mean it's like money parks in the boxing game at the end of the day either box or weird I'll just wanted League secured our families know them them till all night you know me but there's someone says I'll give you ten minutes before we in England Keyblade toward the minute before you instead of the Arabia no where do I want the for you yes [Laughter] [Music] [Music] but it was like but I no way he didn't know you before I'll tell you that much you definitely didn't like me before a just an ages know that we'd never be on TV again because it's a teal that's on me bike so Caroline look at me now [ __ ] it's crazy on TV again off school and then oh these people don't know what that means exactly exactly that's not even the reason we were there's a long story the reason we go - you don't mean so but the thing is it means a lot more to me the more people would or people cling to make it out to be you know it's not just played the same that means to me means a lot to me so for someone to tell me I'm not being bad boy looking English might tell me or you hope you don't tell you again - unless you get that hottie really you before do you tell me what the deal with my body you know this looks like or I mean that's the way ladies looking at it no no Priya my dad told me take down by but tell me [ __ ] off you don't mean something there's no chance of in years old let any man tell me what to do my own body in the ground last month all right and walk away from the sport today auntie in what someone else tells me do you mean like especially when your buddy look and as long as you were like on me you're gonna take a lot of pay cuts there and we don't just get a bit tightly packed like makeup or something to move it no this like and look I mean this was the baked out on for a long time we went boxing trainer was like at the time was pressure me and the oldest because some of the school sports town that open be on TV again Oh Mountain King Kong what a mess where and he was like I just got a bit of makeup on our course that getting annoyed at the training I was like me fair enough like me and say it may bounce that trying to convince me look then they asked me am i bare tit just like that's what I am that's EE hey girl ever list for you one your oils coming into the game yeah we're sure you can see all we do a lot of that ups are hand opposite foot and I got that from him just through him what beats yeah a lot of people cuz he doesn't sell fast coming to see what you don't have but then watch the over and over again the arrows mostly for your face if watching wait reason just like camp place and no delays for the hours now each people out now all the time teaching people a lot of people still ask me I got that from you know so definitely someone over there those to me I'm when I'm retired would love to sit down smoke a big fat blunt well is there anyone you want to deploy rapid or anyone you want to like let us know to keep an oil on for that's cool real computer ranks that's or may not hear [Music] you know what who would love to become a world champion I think he's a very very skilled talented for you is toka card over spam well got him office by me when I was there point farmer and then I was out with it me and himself in the same then we were spam but he's a great great for keeping away on him he's very talented he's almost like he's disc and love award you know man so don't always going to get the opportunities I don't know if like his team is that big order I'll be paying a lot older not again the shot stoic it's gonna he's a very good Fourier so just keep an eye on him he's a very very talented for yeah but now you know I listen to so many people call him a tree on the ballot are exchanging hands you didn't keep it oil normal in this division as now write down thank you for coming on he's been brilliant Avenue on mind all the best
