Speaker 4: the show.

45
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,919
Speaker 2: It's interesting for me with boxing is watching like people

46
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: because you said that's a friend of yours. I'm like,

47
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: how are these friendships? Because it seems like people are

48
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: friends and then the fight happens.

49
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

50
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: I mean, look, we watched what just happened with friand

51
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: Shawn and Clarissa. Yeah, right, and then I know when

52
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: you for friend Seawan and that is the only one

53
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: loss that you do have. But I remember that press

54
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: conference got crazy.

55
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, did me and Franchise we had we had some words,

56
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 4: h we was we went through some things. A lot

57
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 4: of these girls now that you know that are in

58
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 4: the forefront. We came up together on the USA team together,

59
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 4: you know, so where we was all ranked number one

60
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 4: for you know, for the USA, and you know, we

61
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 4: we we shared some moments, we shared some times. But

62
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 4: me and Franchise we had words back then when we

63
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 4: were on the USA team, so it kind of poured

64
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 4: over into the press conference and then of course you know,

65
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 4: she beat me, so gotta be honest, it was her

66
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 4: night that night.

67
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 3: So yeah, you know, we.

68
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 2: Had some words and you said that You're like, it's

69
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: my night and sometimes and that was the only one

70
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: night it wasn't your night.

71
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: What do you think it was at that time?

72
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: Because I know you still would say you are a

73
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 2: better boxer than Franchise.

74
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I think that, you know, you know, I had

75
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 4: just signed with MVP, and it was a big moment,

76
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 4: and I think I let the moment outlive what I

77
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 4: was supposed to do, and I was just looking forward

78
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 4: to fight to be over with.

79
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 3: You know, it was kind of overwhelming for.

80
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 4: Me, and you know, I went through some things in camp,

81
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 4: you know, with my personal team, and I don't think

82
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 4: that we were equipped at the moment to deal with

83
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 4: everything that we were dealing with. You know, we were new,

84
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 4: we were new to the light and new to everything

85
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 4: that was going on. And I think I let it.

86
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 4: I just let it overwhelm me, and I didn't perform.

87
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 4: I wasn't my best self that night.

88
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: Okay, but now we're Alannie Daniels.

89
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I'm one hundred percent ready. I'm one hundred

90
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 4: percent ready. If the fight was tomorrow, I'll be ready now.

91
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: Clarissa after her fight with Franchise, named you as a

92
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: potential opponent. You were the first person that she named. Yeah,

93
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 2: and I saw when you have put together this mind

94
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 2: tize of quote unquote lies. Yeah, Clarissa, where she would

95
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: say that, you know, she one it was kind of

96
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: up to you if you guys would fight, and you're like, lies,

97
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: this is the fight that you want.

98
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 4: Yes, I absolutely want that fight. Clarissa shows is a

99
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 4: great fighter. You know, she's done a lot of amazing

100
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 4: things in the sports. She's one of the best fighters

101
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 4: in the world, and I feel like I'm one of

102
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 4: the best female fighters in the world, So why not

103
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 4: test myself against the best and see who's the best.

104
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 4: You know, she's gotta want the fight, though, because she's

105
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 4: the boss over there. If she wants it and we

106
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 4: can make it happen. You know, I'm waiting the phones.

107
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 4: The phone line is open.

108
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: Are you guys friends now?

109
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 2: Because I know we tell you and Alicia are friends,

110
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: But would you say, because that's what I'm wondering, because

111
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: a lot, like you said, a lot of you guys

112
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 2: came up together. But then I see there's a lot

113
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 2: of drama behind the scenes, and it feels like Clarissa

114
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 2: because she's at the top of everything. Like you said,

115
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: she's the boss over there. It feels like a lot

116
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 2: of it is like around that.

117
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 3: We were friends.

118
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 4: We were friends a long time ago when we were

119
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 4: on the USA team together and I actually went and

120
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,799
Speaker 4: helped one of her opponents get ready, so to speak,

121
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 4: which was kind of like a no no to her.

122
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 4: So that blew up our friendship and we kind of

123
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 4: been just having words ever since then, and that that

124
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 4: was so many years ago. You know, I admit that

125
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 4: it was a mistake on my behalf, but you know

126
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 4: that situation makes for a great fight between.

127
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 3: Two great fighters. Now, you know we can use that.

128
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 4: I think me and her, me and Clorisa Show's fight

129
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 4: would be a mega fight, one of the bigges fights ever,

130
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 4: like Amanda and Katie Taylor. But I don't want to

131
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 4: speak out of turn and make making sure that I'm

132
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 4: not overlooking Lonnie Daniels because that's what.

133
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, That's what that's so. And I know, like

134
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: we're getting ready for that fight again. The date is

135
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: April seventeen, yes, but you know, like you said, that

136
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: would be one of the biggest fights. And I think

137
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: as far as being technical, both of you have that.

138
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 2: But people talk about your eleven knockouts, which is the

139
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 2: power behind it Israel punches.

140
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's real, It's almost certainly real. You know, not

141
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 4: everybody is gonna fight me like the fight. They'll fight

142
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 4: anybody else like Clarissa Shields or even the Savannah Marshall.

143
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 4: Savannah Marshall had power too.

144
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: Savannah Marsa are the only lost Clarissa Shild's ever had.

145
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 4: But right and the amateurs right, and they ran it

146
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 4: back and it was a it was a touch and goal.

147
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 4: It was a total to toe they were swinging, you know.

148
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 4: But not a lot of people is going to get

149
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 4: in here and go back and forth with your Daisy

150
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 4: Green because my knockouts are real.

151
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 3: You know, it's a thing. I'm packing power in these hands.

152
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: Now today, I want to talk to you also just

153
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: in real life, Patterson.

154
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: You're the hometown hero in Patterson, New Jersey. How does

155
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:06,239
Speaker 1: that fail?

156
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: Oh?

157
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 3: It feels it feels great. Yeah.

Speaker 4: I mean I've accomplished some amazing things and I'm just

Speaker 4: my mother had plans for me. Yeah, she was instilling

191
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,040

192
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 4: I was gonna get there, but whatever it is that

193
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 4: I show interest in, she made me follow it through

194
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 4: because that could be a possible way for me to

195
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 4: get to college. So when I started playing ball and

196
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 4: I started like really just going off and conquering, you know,

197
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 4: she was making decisions even when I was seventeen eighteen.

198
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 4: She was making decisions for me, like the school I

199
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 4: wanted to go to. I wanted to go hang with

200
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 4: my friends. She was like, nope, you're going over here.

Speaker 4: looking at her. They gonna get a peek of what

204
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 4: to come back for. So you know, it's some as

00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 4: a kid. It's as a teenager when you're you're so

00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 4: like locked in, you you find some source of rebellion.

207
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 4: So you know, I I just I wanted to do

208
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 4: something different, and they wanted me to run track and

209
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 4: I wasn't doing that. I hate running and that's all.

210
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 3: I do now.

211
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 4: And I walked down in my neighborhood, real gritty neighborhood,

212
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 4: and I found a gym and I remember going in

213
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 4: there and it was it was dark, it was dirty

214
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 4: cats and dogs in the front. But it wasn't the

215
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,559
Speaker 4: line around the block to do it. And it's scared

216
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 4: the living crap out of me. And you know, I

217
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 4: got my coaches like, look, you need to get some

218
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 4: better footwork. You know, you're dropping thirty five points on offense.

219
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 4: But you're letting people score thirty six thirty seven. I'm like,

220
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 4: damn loss on me. And I went in the gym

221
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 4: and I met my coach who was still in my

222
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 4: corner today, Barry Porter, when I was fifteen years old,

223

227
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 4: on my table to sign. I was nowhere to be found.

228
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,719
Speaker 4: My mother called up the gym and said, send my

00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 4: daughter home. We got a scholarship, and that's what we

00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 4: She was like, Nah, you're not doing that. We're doing this.

00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 4: life back. And that's exactly what she did. And she

237
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 4: cringed because I literally did just that. You know, I

238
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 4: had offers from the league, the w NBA to go

240
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,200

Speaker 1: She cringed, you got your Judd dislocated.

246
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 3: I did. I did. I'll never forget.

247
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 4: I held that grudge for ten years. I dropped him

248
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 4: too when he came back, but she cringed. And now

249
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 4: she's one of my biggest supporters. I mean, she tells

250
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,359
Speaker 4: me how to train, so to speak, come to the gym.

251
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 4: I ain't never throw no punches before. But for somehow

252
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 4: she's a great coach, somehow, somehow.

253
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: What do you think about going to get an education?

254
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: Like you said, she told you first you got to

255
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: go to school, do this, and then you can do it.

256
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 2: Because I know nowadays I feel like kids are feeling like, oh,

257
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go straight into this. And when you think

258
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: about that, because like you said, you do train, you

259
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 2: know a younger generation as well, kids coming up. What

260
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 2: would you say to somebody that was like, I want

261
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 2: this to be my profession and you felt like they

262
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 2: were good enough to you think, go to college first

263
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 2: and then come back to this because you went through

264
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 2: it absolutely.

265
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 4: I mean I wouldn't say take my route, you know,

266
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 4: but I think education is extremely important.

267
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 3: At the end of the day. I have a Bachelor

268
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 3: of Science degree.

269
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 4: That's that's in my place right now, so that gives

270
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,599
Speaker 4: me at least twelve to fifteen years of experience, and

271
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 4: anything that I want to do, I have something to

272
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 4: fall back on.

273
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 3: You know.

274
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 4: I want to open up a recreation center for my city.

275
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 4: So it all helps in all a's and I'm smart.

276
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 4: You know, I'm intelligent, and you know I got something

277
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 4: to fall back on.

278
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 2: It need be now getting ready for this fight with

279
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: Lonnie Daniels. Because you're known to be the knockout sweet terminator.

280
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 2: It will knock you out. So are these gonna be?

281
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: Is this ten rounds or twelve?

282
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 3: This is ten rounds? Ten minute rounds?

283
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, ten two minute rounds.

284
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 2: Sometimes I'd be like, man, if these is three minutes,

285
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 2: I don't know if people would last that full.

286
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 4: They say more time, but I've been able to get

287
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 4: eleven knockouts with just two minutes. So I mean, if

288
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 4: it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen.

289
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: But you feel good about it.

290
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 3: I feel great, I feel great.

291
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 2: Do you find it's hard to get opponents for yourself sometimes.

292
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 4: Sometimes there was a point in my career where I

293
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 4: couldn't get a fight at all. That they were offering

294
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 4: life changing money and people just didn't want to get

295
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 4: on the other side of me. It's hard looking across

296
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 4: somebody that got eleven knockouts, you know, especially when I'm

297
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 4: hurting these opponents the way I am. You know, but

298
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 4: I think it, you know, based on my last couple

299
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 4: of performances. It gets better now you know that they're

300
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 4: people stepping up now because I'm most wanted. You know her,

301
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 4: my name so much on that Cloris Show's card name

302
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 4: a lot. I kept here, shit, Daisy Green. I'm like,

303
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 4: I should get paid for this, the way they're saying

304
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 4: my name. So I guess you know, everybody want to

305
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 4: fight me now. I got the titles. I got three

306
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 4: of the titles. Franchise got the other two. So we'll

307
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 4: see what happens.

308
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 2: You know, And I know boxing a lot of it

309
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 2: is a lot of trash talk, and that also hypes

310
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 2: people up for the fight.

311
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: Do you take any of that to heart?

312
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 3: No, I don't know. I'm not. I'm not.

313
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 4: I used to be a sensitive character, but I'm not.

314
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 4: You know, it's just a business. You know, I don't

315
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 4: take light of what anybody say. I believe in me

316
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 4: and that's all that matters.

317
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 2: And it took a while for you to actually get

318
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 2: this Unify super middleweight champion.

319
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, how did that change things for you?

320
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 3: Oh?

321
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 4: Man, I was in tears. It changed my life completely.

322
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 4: You know, my notoriety has increased. I was able to

323
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 4: move my family, you know, my wife, and you know

324
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 4: I'm staying on a straight and narrow you know, I'm

325
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 4: in the gym. It's motivation, and I think it changed

326
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 4: my trainers. I think they're a little crazy now, you know,

327
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 4: I really if you guys are listening, I really can't

328
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 4: stand you all. But you know I understand the method

329
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 4: behind their madness. You know, I'm a world champion and

330
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 4: people are after out there to get me. So we

331
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 4: got to keep working hard. We got to go harder.

332
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 2: When it comes to you getting ready, and you talk

333
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: about your trainers, what type of things are you doing physically,

334
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 2: like dietary, all of those things, because like we said,

335
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 2: I hate to do the countdown, but it's less than

336
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 2: a month away.

337
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 3: I know I got a long moment.

338
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: It is for a lone Daniel. So what are you

339
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: doing to get yourself together? How does that change?

340
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 4: A lot of dieting, you know, healthy fools, nothing but

341
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 4: healthy fools, you know, no fried fools and nothing like that.

342
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 4: A lot of strength and conditioning every day, we do

343
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 4: recovery on Wednesdays. A lot of sparn Sometimes these guys

344
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 4: are in there trying to take my head off. But

345
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 4: I'm grateful. I'm grateful that I have a proper team,

346
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 4: a great support team, and my family to be around

347
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 4: me at these times because it's a lonely it's lonely

348
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 4: in this sport.

349
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: It's going to be crazy here too.

350
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 2: Because you're from Patterson, that's not too far so I

351
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 2: can imagine that there's a ton of people that are

352
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 2: hitting you up wanting to come to the fight.

353
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 4: Absolutely, it's going to go crazy. Yeah, Patterson gonna be

354
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 4: in the building, Pattison, definitely. Let's get ready in New

355
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 4: York City, New Jersey and New York.

356
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: I know you have to see all the drama after

357
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 2: because Franchain was here talking about what happened with Clarissa.

358
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 2: What were your thoughts on that? As somebody who's in

359
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 2: this and you know, both of them.

360
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 3: It was scary for me. I tweeted.

361
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 4: I think I tweeted like, I hope Franchion is okay

362
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 4: because she took a pretty hard fall.

363
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 3: It was.

364
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 4: It just was so unnecessary. You know, you guys are

365
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 4: going to fight, you know, let's the push is normal.

366
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 4: I've pushed a couple of people. A couple of people

367
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 4: pushed me. But the the aftermath, I don't know the

368
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 4: specifics of it, but I hate to see it because

369
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 4: we're getting his light. Let's take advantage of it the

370
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 4: right way, the positive way. You got you know, younger

371
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 4: females that want to you know, possibly Box that's that's

372
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 4: looking at us. You know, let's let's let's set the

373
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 4: president for them.

374
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 2: And then we know that Zeus deal was announced at

375
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: that point in time too, and so it is using

376
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: this bossing as a platform to have other things happen.

377
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 2: And so I think all of that is interesting too,

378
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 2: because Sparan time a change. She didn't know about that.

379
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 4: I don't know the specifics of what was going on

380
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 4: over there. I just know that stuff like that don't

381
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 4: happen at an MVP card. You know, MVP is very

382
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 4: professional and strategic about how they promote things, and like

383
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 4: I said, we should be promoting these female fighters. I

384
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 4: don't know about Zeus, but congrats for you know, Clarissa Shields.

385
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 4: So you know, just certain things happen certain places. You know,

386
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 4: I don't, we don't. We don't.

387
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 3: We don't. We don't. We don't put shows on like that.

388
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 2: Are you planning to fight again this year after seventeenth?

389
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 3: Absolutely?

390
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 4: I'm looking to stay active. You know, I think my

391
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 4: mother wants me to fight every month. You know, she

392
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 4: loves it so much. So yeah, I'm you know, I'm

393
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 4: a world champion for a reason, So I got to

394
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 4: stay out there.

395
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: If this fight with Clarissa, like you said, it's up

396
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 2: to her. But after Lennie, because I think we feel

397
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: pretty confident in you. I'm just going to say that, but.

398
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 3: I appreciate that.

399
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: After that, would you be looking toward if.

400
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 4: Not that, whoever? You know, franchise has two of those belts.

00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,200

Speaker 4: I proposed first, and I think she just tried to

414
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 4: steal my moment. So we proposed at the same time.

415
