When did you first find out that 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:28.920 old mate was not going to be able to fight? 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:30.080 Uh? 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:34.559 Well, the positive test came about like five weeks ago, 0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:37.400 last end of July, so it's actually been a long time. 0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:39.760 But we were trying to make the fight still happen. 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:45.479 I still wanted to fight Blake, But now that we've 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:48.160 got this new guy, Tommy Carpenti, he's actually a better 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:49.239 body to fight. 0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:50.839 If you know what I mean, Like he won't be 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:51.599 as negative. 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.120 When I say negative, it's just like when you're not 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:59.480 trying to win a fight but survive or like. 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.520 Does that head style just try and survive, Not so 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:07.080 much survive, but like just getting close quarters No, it's more. 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:10.040 Leaning away in the way, and it's like I would 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:12.560 be trying to make the fight happen for everybody in 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:14.840 the crowd, you know, and he would be trying to 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:16.800 stop me from doing anything I wanted to do. So 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:22.479 it's yeah, me and Blake would have been I tell 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:25.920 you what, it could have been lackluster, especially after four 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:29.640 heavyweight fights on the undercart. We've got four heavyweight fights 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.280 on a row which are going to be sick. 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:31.800 Yeah. 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.200 Man, say how much? How much has it affected your 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:37.000 preparation though? Because obviously he got announced in the media. 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:38.600 You see it into July, so you probably had a 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.080 bit of time, but you didn't know your new opponent 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:42.119 till how long. 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:45.000 Ago, forty eight hours? I think does that. 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:46.720 Change your preparation? I mean do you have to do 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:49.600 a bit of research around, Like, because you're saying that 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.520 different types of fighters, how does that affect? Is that 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:54.960 like that to me? I'd ship I'd ship my pants. 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.800 I'd be like, fuck, isn't I've trained for this other 0:01:57.800 --> 0:01:59.880 guy and now I've got this another rooster coming. 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.200 I guess boxing is the kind of sport you need 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:04.600 to be able to adapt on the spot anyway. So 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:09.560 I've got I've got five or six different modes in 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:13.960 terms of like how I fight, so uh, it doesn't 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:14.560 change that much. 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:16.920 He's still a solfbore, so he's still left handed. 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:17.200 Yea. 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:22.760 He's got a similar record, similar experience. He's fought three 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:25.960 formal world champions and he's beaten one of them, so 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.600 he's succeeded where Blake Caparello failed, if you know what 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:32.760 I mean. So he's very credible. This fight will get 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.000 me into the top fifteen in the WBO. I'm already 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:37.400 top fifteen in the IBF, but. 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:39.320 It might put me up a couple of places. 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:43.359 So that's it's a big step towards snatching one of 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:44.160 those titles, if. 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:44.440 You know what I mean. 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:46.240 I don't want to jump too far down the track. 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.480 But if and when you get down down the end 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:50.600 here and you're you know, you're fighting for the WBO, 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:53.200 the ib F, the ABC's, the tcs ands and the 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:54.200 BG's and all that. 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:58.480 Accs, he we'll wring that belt out. 0:02:58.520 --> 0:02:59.840 You can win hold that immediately. 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.640 When when you win all of these, can you just 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:06.160 melt them down into one belt because it's so confusing 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.680 to follow all of the different boxing organizations. 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.040 Isn't it well that there are four major belts. There's 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.880 the IBF, w b O, w B A, and WBC. 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:18.799 So at the moment, we're looking at the first two 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:20.960 the ib F from the w b O to be 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:24.880 unified to be the undisputed world champions, to have all 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:25.600 the belts. 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:27.200 So in some ways it's good. 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:29.880 In some ways, it's a bit confusing for the for 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:34.480 the layman, for the casuals, you know, but uh, a 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.160 world champions, a world champion, and to be able to 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.920 fight the other world champions as as that's. 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:41.920 That's awesome, that's incredible. 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.760 Like you've got the UFC now you've got, but you've 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:48.240 also got those other those other bodies where you've got 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.800 some murderers out there that are just as good as 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:51.800 the other guys, you know, Like. 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:59.120 I can't even PFLFI League. Then there's the one championship PFL. 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:06.360 I think they might be coming along, they might be yeah. 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:05.520 Yeah, who's that. 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.320 Saudi money for podcasting we've been we've. 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:09.720 Been calling for that for a long time, like if 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:11.200 they want to if they want to wash their money 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:15.160 by sponsoring podcasts, we've been happily a lot of boxing 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:15.880 over in Saudi A. 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:17.719 Have you been over there this yeah, I thought on 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.560 the Fury Usic undercard, So that was that was kind 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:25.599 of my my first big test against another undefeated prospect, 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:27.919 and hoping to get back over there in December for 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.800 the for the rematch. Yeah, the Usk Fury too. What's 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.240 the crowd like one of those things, like it was a. 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:34.600 Little bit quieter when I got in, it was a 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:36.240 little bit earlier. I think it was like it was 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.440 like a nine or it's like a nine hour card, 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.160 I think, Yeah, yeah, it was. It was a long night. 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.760 So by the time Fury and Usak came out, it 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:46.919 was three thirty in the morning. Kendrick lamars up on 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:50.719 this platform rapping, like going going crazy, and everyone's like 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:52.600 struggling to keep their eyes over. 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:55.040 Like please get off, please get off. We want to 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:55.799 watch this fight. 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:57.200 Because they're not drinking other Yeah. 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.840 Well, well, like the British fans, I think they all 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.599 got got on at the Embassy. I think they found 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.279 a loophole so out there and went across. But so 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.080 it was pretty rowdy. It was pretty rowdy in the 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.800 main event especially. Yeah, so the crowd was awesome and 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:13.680 I got like a nice ovation when I got out 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.040 the ring and stuff. So people were very very respectful 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.400 over there. It's it's amazing place. 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:22.440 Yeah, I was in Abu Dhabi. I worked there for 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:24.240 a while and they put a UFC fight on there 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.719 and all of the front row about three rows back 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:32.080 were all locals in their pristine white dish dashes, and 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:33.880 so they're all sitting there and they love a bit 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:37.000 of combat fighting. But there was blood flying out of 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.120 that ring. I looked over one guy and they had 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.279 blood splitted all over their dish stashes. 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:44.000 I would love. 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.880 I was just like, oh my god, I don't seem 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:48.160 anything like it, but it was. 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:49.160 It was. It was a good times. 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:51.880 Just touching on before you said like confusing for the 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.919 late person in terms of the casual fan, can you 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.520 tore me through the different divisions, because like, obviously the 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:00.559 most famous is the heavyweights. You know, it's Tyson's, George 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:02.760 Foreman all that. You know, they probably get the most limelight. 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.360 So you got that that's the top, that's the heavyweights. 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.599 He's no super heavyweights in there. That's more not yet, 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:11.120 it's just heavyweights. It's just open grade whatever. And then 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:13.200 the other probably most famous division, is the kind of 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.480 Floyd maywhere the yeah, the world's weight where So can 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:18.960 you explain all the divisions and where you are and 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.200 what your your is your goal to go up a division? 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:22.400 Is it? What is it? 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.359 So so it's it's a little bit unfair in some ways. 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.480 So that there are I think maybe fourteen divisions and 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:30.320 they start right down at like. 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:31.880 Forty nine kilos or something. 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.919 Yeah, and the next division up is two kilos heavier, 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.640 then it's two killers heavier above that, then three killers, 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:40.680 then four kilos heavier. But by the time you get 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:44.760 up from light heavyweight is seventy nine points something kilos, right, 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.600 So let's say seventy nine killers. The next division up, 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:51.520 my division, cruiserweight is ninety point seven killers. 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:52.679 It's different. 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:53.320 It's a big jump. 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.600 It's one hundred and seventy five pounds up to two 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:59.279 hundred pounds. That's a big difference. So when I made 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.000 that transition and I tried to put on all the 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.719 muscle I could to to you know, fill out that division, 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.320 and it really didn't do me any. 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.080 Favors for about three or four years, you know. 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.440 So it's a it's a it's a big jump, and 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.720 anything above that is heavyweight. 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.840 So technically right now, I'm a heavyweight. 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.680 I'm walking around at about ninety four kilos, so my 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.240 weights come down since the starter camp, but I walk 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.920 around as a heavyweight ninety eight kilos kind of thing. 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:28.840 So I think I see three heavyweights here today. 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:32.560 Hell yeah, hell yeah, I'm thinking more super heavyweight y. 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:36.200 Yeah, yeah, what's the heavyweight? What's the sorry, what's your. 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:37.920 Two Hundred's the two hundred pounds limits? 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:43.080 So ninety point seven ninety point seven kilos, yeah, which 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.040 is not actually that big nowadays, you know. 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:45.680 So heavy. 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:49.600 I didn't think so either, David, you did, right, But. 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.080 Anything above that weight you're not going to get any more. 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:55.680 You're going to get faster, You're not going to get fitter. 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:57.080 You will get more power. 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:00.720 That's that's one thing that you get signialificantly more of 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:04.640 You get more power. But I feel like the cruiserweight 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:11.080 division you get some really really athletic fighters that have 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:12.920 their conditioning, have the power. 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:15.400 It's it's kind of the best of both worlds. 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:21.000 You know, Like I run a our our twenty two 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.840 half marathon, so it's like sub form inute case. That's 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:27.200 that's quick for anywhere. It's quick for anyone. So you've like, 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:31.080 at this division, you've got athletes that can, you know, 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:36.160 be endurance athletes, but also produce spectacular knockouts. You know, 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.599 and I guess in the in the pro game that 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:42.160 gloves are only designed to protect your hands, not your 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:43.160 opponent's faces. 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.480 So you get a lot more heavy a lot more knockouts. Anyway. 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:50.840 Yeah, yeah, for the most part, that heavyweight division. 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:54.240 Is power power is king. 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.840 Are you quite tall for your white class? Is quite 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:57.440 a tall dude. 0:08:57.520 --> 0:08:59.360 I think I think I'm about right, but I think 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.120 I've got I've got a frame that could easily move 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:07.720 up to heavyweight. So, like Joseph Parker is about six four, 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:13.080 he says he's six four, He's about six to six 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.000 Tyson Fury is a real six nine. He's reel six 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:18.480 foot nine. Like you see him next to me, I 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:20.160 look like like a weeve. 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:21.839 He's huge. 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:29.800 He's huge, but a good basketball I doubted. I feel 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.800 like you found his home in boxing. Like you see 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:33.280 him running. 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:35.880 He's not a good runner, but he could run all day. 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:36.440 That's the thing. 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:41.680 He's just he's he's got some kind of God given hellent. 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.640 Then that's sort of the traveler magic. 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:46.040 The drive man. 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:50.000 It's pretty incredible. Like we do fifteen rounds of body spraying. 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.880 When I went and trained over with Joe and Pyson 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.800 Fury for for six months, we do fifteen rounds. 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:56.200 Of body sparying. 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.720 So I'm the smallest guy there out of like six heavyweights, 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.600 and after fifteen rounds, all of us that shattered. Tyson's 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.199 the only one that looks like he could do another fifteen. Really, 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.800 and he's got a bit he's got a bit more padding. Yeah, 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.480 he's got a motor on him. But nonetheless, nonetheless he's 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.000 you'd look at him and think he's the most out 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:14.800 of shape guy. He's the only guy that could have 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:16.640 done another fifteen, you know what I mean. Yeah, so 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:20.000 you my organs are like turning inside my road page. 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:20.160 You know. 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:22.160 You spend a bit of time Morecambe. Then is that 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:23.440 where you went to train with him? 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:24.240 Yeah? I did, I did. 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:24.600 I was. 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:26.720 That was awesome. It was it was very cool. 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:31.680 It was it was an eye opener. I learned how 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:35.360 to how to fight. I didn't learn a hell of 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.520 a lot. I learned technical aspects of the sport, but 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:43.599 I kind of transitioned my my own mentality from in 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:45.760 the amateur boxing, I felt like a competitor. 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:46.480 I felt like I was. 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:49.680 Competing when I went over there and I sparred with 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:53.400 some really really tough guys over there, I feel like 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:56.840 I learned how to fight, Like you need to be 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.000 able to fight. It's not it's not a competition anymore. 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.439 You're not trying to out point the other guy. You're 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:04.439 trying to learn how to break your guy down and 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:05.640 andiat him. 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.960 And yeah, because it must mean but that's the thing. 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:10.920 It must change, because you're saying when you're an amateur, 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.439 you know, like you're saying your competitor, but we. 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:14.120 Don't have to hurt them. 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:17.080 Yeah, yeah, that's right. It's about points, you know. And 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.040 at the end of it, you've got weird a head 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:20.480 gear because its kind of like calm games. You know, 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:22.160 it's very it looks very technically. 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.280 They got rid of the head gear. But nonetheless, the 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.480 gloves you've got about I reckon about six or seven 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.400 centimeters of padding it in front of your glove and 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:31.600 the pro and the pro game. 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:33.000 Your gloves are. 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:36.640 Made out of horse here, so horse hair really bins 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.560 and molds around your fast. It's designed to protect your hand, 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:43.880 not your opponents. So yeah, you get yeah, yeah, you 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.160 get a lot more hurt. Yeah, yea yeah, must you've 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:50.679 got dehydration, you've got you've got cuts, You've got a 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:52.440 lot more impact, You've got a lot more time to 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:53.440 take impact as well. 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:54.920 So completely different game. 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.440 And I didn't really appreciate it until I until I 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.560 went over and trained with the lights of the Furies. 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:01.480 Yeah right, and they taught you you're in the ring. 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.679 You're in the ring to basically knock the fuck out 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:05.520 of the guys. 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:07.560 Guy. Yeah right, business, Yeah, totally. 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.160 I watched the Fury Is at Home with the Furies, 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:14.040 still one of my favorite programs, of him jogging on 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:17.120 the waterfront there at Morecambe and then him looking down 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:18.840 the barrel of the camera and him going, you know, 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:20.920 I've made so much fucking money. I've got too much money. 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:22.760 I don't even have to do with. Why would you 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:24.480 want to live anywhere else? And it panned back and 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.720 it was just like two kilometers of mudflats and the 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.600 shitter seaside town in the world.
