Speaker 1: Every day. Click up the Breakfast Club. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: finish for y'all. Done morning. Everybody is the j n V.
Speaker 1: Just hilarious.
Speaker 2: Charlamagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. Longla roses
Speaker 2: here as well. We got a special guest in the bound. Yes, indeed,
Speaker 2: Lamont roached you, and you're welcome your last time she
Speaker 2: was fronting, you know, I hit.
Speaker 3: You, I said, yo, I gave him his props. I
Speaker 3: told him I was gonna give him his props. I
Speaker 3: didn't believe in him, but then he came through and.
Speaker 4: I did hit him. I said, yo, you did that.
Speaker 1: She didn't believe it.
Speaker 3: She said you too small, but I did, and look
Speaker 3: bigger now even you're putting away ever since.
Speaker 1: How are you feeling, brother, I'm feeling good man, feeling good,
Speaker 1: a good place.
Speaker 2: We all wanted to see that that tank rematch.
Speaker 1: Many who you telling her?
Speaker 2: Why didn't happen? Was this particular reason? Or is just
Speaker 2: there was more money for him with uh Sure?
Speaker 1: To me, I just thought, he you know, I didn't
Speaker 1: want to take the fight after he realized like what
Speaker 1: he was getting itself into.
Speaker 5: Well, the first fight was closer than the judges made
Speaker 5: it seems so he was like, you know what, it
Speaker 5: don't need me to get back in that ring.
Speaker 1: That's the fact, especially when he had like, you know,
Speaker 1: somewhat to comparable money. I mean, like, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, just a little bit more money to fight
Speaker 1: somebody that's not damaging to his legacy or nothing like that.
Speaker 1: But it is what it is. You know, how do
Speaker 1: you know how many times I talk about this, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Everybody asked me about this, Like
Speaker 1: I just like, it's it's over. It like it been
Speaker 1: over for me, but everybody still stuck on it because
Speaker 1: everybody don't get the answers. But you know, it's like
Speaker 1: my career never going to be based on just one
Speaker 1: you know, just that one fight. It's cool, like it's over.
Speaker 1: I'm on the bigger and better.
Speaker 5: Was it from a boxing perspective?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 5: What do you think Tank felt in that first fight
Speaker 5: that made him and his team be like, you know
Speaker 5: what I mean?
Speaker 1: For sure he felt that heat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, with the rematch clause. I always start with a
Speaker 2: rematch clause. If there is a draw, nine times out
Speaker 2: of tenant has to be retaken. But I guess that's
Speaker 2: not it at all.
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily has to. Like so for instance, me
Speaker 1: and him and in our contract and his rematch, the
Speaker 1: rematch clause is on him to activate or that he
Speaker 1: activated it, and that's the only problem. So you know,
Speaker 1: like that's that's where we have the issue, Like he
Speaker 1: initiated the rematch clause, so we are contracted to fight again.
Speaker 1: Then that's when all the problems happened.
Speaker 5: So so what did you learn about how elite level
Speaker 5: fights actually get made or don't get made from that situation?
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been new. I mean as soon as
Speaker 1: you get into the sport, like if you a guy
Speaker 1: us into the business and want to know, like you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, what's going on. You know my
Speaker 1: team they are very transparent with me and what's going
Speaker 1: on behind the scenes and all that. So you know,
Speaker 1: I've been new. It's just like when that high been
Speaker 1: is that's something that's not supposed to happen. So you
Speaker 1: know that's you just deal with it accordingly.
Speaker 6: Did your strategy on change or choosing your fights after
Speaker 6: that fight change at all? Because of like what the
Speaker 6: conversation was around you? How for a lot of people
Speaker 6: it shifted, Like a lot of people got to see
Speaker 6: you and really know like, Okay, we can't play with him.
Speaker 1: Oh uh, that's more so if they willing to take
Speaker 1: on the fights from that. So that's why a lot
Speaker 1: of people, I'm actually surprised that pit Bull took this fight.
Speaker 1: MM are you surprised?
Speaker 2: Nah?
Speaker 1: Pit Bull is like he one of them guys are
Speaker 1: not really caught up into I want to say, wins
Speaker 1: and losses and trying to protect like protect his record.
Speaker 1: He want to be the next Mexican boxing superstar, so
Speaker 1: he going to do what he wanted, like the things
Speaker 1: that he think he needed to do to become that.
Speaker 3: Gotcha, you're well, you're't nervous for the fire, You're nervous, No,
Speaker 3: I mean it's crazy.
Speaker 5: They don't stop.
Speaker 1: Constant pressure for sure. But you know, I've been there before.
Speaker 1: I done fought the Pitbull style ever since I've been
Speaker 1: a kid. So it ain't nothing that I can't handle,
Speaker 1: you know. And I got ten ways to when he
Speaker 1: got one. So it's cool. We're gonna exploit that real, real,
Speaker 1: real fashionable and and real exciting. Like on December sixth.
Speaker 5: You've talked about wanting to prove you wanted the best
Speaker 5: in the division. So I just beating the Cruise contributed
Speaker 5: to that.
Speaker 1: Because this is my third division, in my third consecutive fight.
Speaker 1: My last fight was I just moved up to thirty five.
Speaker 1: That's probably why. That's probably why just was saying I was.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I was. You probably thought
Speaker 1: I was too small. I don't know, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But now moving up again to one forty,
Speaker 1: I just want to be known that one of the best,
Speaker 1: like Pam for pounds so people, Cruise has an intern
Speaker 1: world championship at one for If I once I get
Speaker 1: that title, it's just like the playing field is crazy,
Speaker 1: and then I can fight the guys who they consider
Speaker 1: the best at won thirty five, won forty whatever, occasionally.
Speaker 2: Be So I was gonna ask, so, what's your goal?
Speaker 2: I know you think ahead of time, So what do
Speaker 2: you want to do? Where do you see the next
Speaker 2: couple of years? Where do you want to be?
Speaker 1: I want to be a multi division world champion. Hopefully
Speaker 1: after I be people, we go straight into the WBC
Speaker 1: full World Championship fight. If not, I'm gonna go back
Speaker 1: to thirty five and challenge of a title holder who's
Speaker 1: willing to fight me for championship.
Speaker 2: Boxing still fun because it feels like now people pick
Speaker 2: their fights. It doesn't feel like it's like that, though,
Speaker 2: But it seems like worse than the last couple of years.
Speaker 1: Nah that I mean boxing has been getting back to
Speaker 1: where it's supposed to be. I think. So it's been
Speaker 1: a lot of good fights happening, and more it been.
Speaker 1: It been more good fights happening. Actually, they've been getting made.
Speaker 1: So I think it's on the way. It's just a
Speaker 1: little it's just like little bumps, like it's it's like
Speaker 1: it should be obvious that two people sometimes two people
Speaker 1: that are the best at one division and they don't
Speaker 1: fight each other. But that's been happening for a long time.
Speaker 1: So but it's getting better. I ain't gonna lie, it's
Speaker 1: getting better.
Speaker 5: What makes you confident you can make Cruise uncomfortable for
Speaker 5: the first time? They always say he makes people uncomfortable.
Speaker 5: Are you gonna make him uncomfortable?
Speaker 1: He ain't never felt this thunder man, He never felt
Speaker 1: this thunder But I'm just gonna attack. I'm just going
Speaker 1: to attack from all angles, just be very versatile. And
Speaker 1: then some things that he probably not gonna expect gonna
Speaker 1: hit him like really where it hurt. Like I think
Speaker 1: he thinks he gonna be the bully in there, and
Speaker 1: that's that's not gonna happen. Like I'm gonna be in control,
Speaker 1: whether I'm going forward, whether I'm going backwards, whatever the
Speaker 1: case may be. But I know that he gonna be
Speaker 1: right there in front of me to get hit.
Speaker 5: Do you see this fight being one with like ring
Speaker 5: IQ or you gotta go in there and bang.
Speaker 1: With ring IQ for sure? That's off top though, that's automatic.
Speaker 1: Now if I bang with him, it's gonna be strategic.
Speaker 1: And then I'm like, you know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 1: you never know, he a tough cookie, so you know
Speaker 1: he just if anything, he just gonna get beat up
Speaker 1: for Twitter Ron damn not a fact.
Speaker 5: So when you're getting ring with somebody like him, how
Speaker 5: do you how do you control the pace instead of
Speaker 5: fighting his.
Speaker 1: Fight a movement, you know, punch selection, shouit, a little
Speaker 1: clinch every once and every once in a while, you know,
Speaker 1: just make a frustrated make like people get frustrated when
Speaker 1: you can't hit someone. I think my defense is well
Speaker 1: enough to you know, make him uncomfortable, you know, I
Speaker 1: come back with shots, he'd be like, all right, maybe
Speaker 1: I don't want throw that no more. So just little stuff.
Speaker 4: Was it easy? Is it easier going up in weight
Speaker 4: versus coming down? Like how far? How hard is that
Speaker 4: of a task to play with your weight?
Speaker 1: Just being like so yeah, technically all right, so nine
Speaker 1: times out of ten, your average boxer don't fight at
Speaker 1: the weight. He walked around that. So it's not like
Speaker 1: I'm gaining weight. I still gotta lose weight, which is
Speaker 1: not as much. So it's less stressful, you know, it's
Speaker 1: I get to retain more muscle mass stuff like that.
Speaker 1: It's just you know, how how far are you willing
Speaker 1: to push yourself to go? Because they all big. I
Speaker 1: ain't gonna lie some of them big people will just
Speaker 1: happen to be short.
Speaker 3: So that it is in your diet, it's in your exercise,
Speaker 3: like your workouts, Like yeah, for.
Speaker 1: Sure, it's definitely in the so like all right, when
Speaker 1: I was making one thirty, it was definitely like when
Speaker 1: the fight got announced, I started losing weight immediately, and
Speaker 1: I was when I thought that my last fight at
Speaker 1: won thirty five. The weight was so easy to make
Speaker 1: because I had five less panents to lose, so I
Speaker 1: was still kind of doing the same thing, but uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I had more room to play with, and
Speaker 1: I definitely wasn't on the last day, like all right,
Speaker 1: do I gotta work out or do I just go
Speaker 1: to sleep? You know what I'm saying. So so you know,
Speaker 1: it's just it's comfortability, and I think I'm stronger. I'm
Speaker 1: definitely think I'm strong enough. I'm damn sure good enough
Speaker 1: of a boxer to fight at one forty. So that's
Speaker 1: what's really gonna carry me.
Speaker 6: I was watching a former fighter last night talk about
Speaker 6: how he went through a eating disorder because of the
Speaker 6: losing weight gain and weight, losing weight gain of weight.
Speaker 6: I don't know if that's something you've ever dealt with,
Speaker 6: but like mentally, like Howard, because you got Thanksgiving and
Speaker 6: like you got to live a regular life too, Like
Speaker 6: how do you during that lock and face? Like what's
Speaker 6: that mental battle? Like of like being hungry?
Speaker 5: Last week?
Speaker 1: Who me? I had a y You want to see
Speaker 1: my plate play? I Thanksgiving twice. I had things giving
Speaker 1: twice in this camp.
Speaker 6: So then you're not eating nothing, so you can't even breathe.
Speaker 1: This week, I can eat, but I still work out,
Speaker 1: work out every day.
Speaker 4: How does that work though, Because I mean.
Speaker 1: It's about it's about what you eat, time you eat,
Speaker 1: how hard you work, and like you know, if you
Speaker 1: if you losing more calories than you putting it, and
Speaker 1: then it all balanced out. And I don't eat that much.
Speaker 1: I don't eat like a big feast every day. It's strategic,
Speaker 1: like I eat probably breakfast the fuel me for a
Speaker 1: sparring day, and then I eat dinner like with little
Speaker 1: snacks in between or whatever the case may be. But
Speaker 1: and I'm always and I'm always hydrated, Like I drink
Speaker 1: a guy in the water every day. I'm still drinking
Speaker 1: a guy in the water to day and I'm only
Speaker 1: what three pounds out? Only got three pounds to lose.
Speaker 1: I could lose that today and way in tomorrow.
Speaker 3: So how's your mental thing that's going on in DC?
Speaker 3: And then you got the fight coming up? Then you know, holidays,
Speaker 3: everything is it's been a little up and down in DC.
Speaker 1: I don't Yeah, it's been it's been a little crazy.
Speaker 1: A National Guard got hit and it's been a little crazy.
Speaker 1: Our city is. You know, sometimes you be thinking it's
Speaker 1: on the right path to you know, chilling out and
Speaker 1: the next thing you know, boom, uh it's it's just
Speaker 1: been running wild and young is going crazy down there.
Speaker 1: So you know, as part of being like a figure,
Speaker 1: I try to, you know, step in and do community outreach.
Speaker 1: I try to, you know, push positivity all the time,
Speaker 1: like throughout the city. It's just you know they're gonna
Speaker 1: get it sooner or later. Maybe not, but you know,
Speaker 1: the ball keep rolling so uh. You know, it doesn't
Speaker 1: necessarily affect me like hit me at like hit home,
Speaker 1: but when I do go back home, it's just like
Speaker 1: all right. I mean, I mean calling my security real
Speaker 1: quick because you know I'm trying to go. Hear him
Speaker 1: trying to go there. You know, it's it's it's crazy.
Speaker 1: But other than that, you know, I'm locked in. I'm
Speaker 1: always locked in.
Speaker 5: I've heard you talk about fighters underestimating your power. I
Speaker 5: don't feel like anybody can underestimate you have to watch
Speaker 5: in the tank fight. But do you think Cruz is
Speaker 5: making that mistake?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think he better than that, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you that, but I don't think so. I think
Speaker 1: he knows what's at stake, and I think he it's
Speaker 1: so adamant on like really becoming like, you know, the
Speaker 1: next Mexican superstar. I think that they train is super hard.
Speaker 1: I think that they know the fact that, you know,
Speaker 1: what I did in my last fight and in comparison
Speaker 1: to what he did when he full tank if it
Speaker 1: was just like, you know, like a different fight. So
Speaker 1: I think I think they I think they're not underestimate
Speaker 1: the power. And if they are, he might go to sleep.
Speaker 5: So the Tank fight expose you, but in a good way.
Speaker 1: For sure exposed me to the world. So uh, you know,
Speaker 1: now it's more eyes on me now.
Speaker 5: Fighters probably ain't sleeping on you, like not saying they
Speaker 5: were sleeping on you before, but it's a different approach
Speaker 5: when they see how you got in the ring with Tank.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. I mean, but some of the
Speaker 1: fighters knew, like because they're in boxing, so they are
Speaker 1: they knew. But it's just the spectators. It's just the
Speaker 1: casual fans. It's the fans that really don't tune in
Speaker 1: the boxing unless it's like super pay per view or
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. This my second time hereline
Speaker 1: the pay per view on the row.
Speaker 2: So I's gonna deal with the Mexican fan base because
Speaker 2: the Mexican fan base.
Speaker 4: Will be loud.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be loud cheering for me after I went
Speaker 1: for Chure. Yeah, it's gonna be a good holiday season
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 6: Nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Is the specific weakness weakness you see in crewis that
Speaker 5: fans might be over Uh.
Speaker 1: His weakness is a strong point. He liked to fight.
Speaker 5: Mm hmm yeah we start fasting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, he liked to fight. So he make
Speaker 1: a lot of mistakes and I'm just gonna capitalize him.
Speaker 5: So you're preparing for like that, that that storm early that, Yeah,
Speaker 5: you ain't.
Speaker 1: I ain't got no time.
Speaker 5: I ain't.
Speaker 1: I've been in camp spawn with dudes that fight just
Speaker 1: like him, bigger than him, stronger than him. So you know,
Speaker 1: I ain't do all that for nothing. Damn man, who
Speaker 1: walk you out? Who walking me out?
Speaker 2: But you said it like you want to walk out?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you got you got?
Speaker 5: I ain't know.
Speaker 3: You know, it's always a sometimes the boxes had a rapper,
Speaker 3: you know, walk out.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna have somebody walking out, somebody from home,
Speaker 1: somebody walk me out.
Speaker 6: When you did you said this is your fake, your
Speaker 6: second paper view fight. When you did the fight with
Speaker 6: Tank when the fight with Jake Paul got canceled. A
Speaker 6: lot of what he was saying was like, Tank was
Speaker 6: so difficult to fight on the business side, like just
Speaker 6: all of the spectators, like all that stuff. Did you
Speaker 6: experience that? And if so, what do you do differently
Speaker 6: this time around on the business side? So it's not
Speaker 6: as difficult.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent for a fact that we dealt with
Speaker 1: We dealt with that, yes, but I wouldn't. I wouldn't.
Speaker 1: That's necessarily deal with that moving forward because most people
Speaker 1: are professional, most people are punctual. Most people have their
Speaker 1: team ready to walk and road. So it's, you know,
Speaker 1: depending on what you're dealing with. On the other side,
Speaker 1: that was nothing I could control, obviously, just like Jake
Speaker 1: couldn't control. Would you fight him?
Speaker 2: If the opportunity game? Would you fight him?
Speaker 5: Would you want to.
Speaker 1: Close that chapter? I mean, yeah, I would, but I
Speaker 1: know it ain't gonna happen. No, wh whit wouldn't He
Speaker 1: told y'all out of his own mouth, or at least
Speaker 1: tweeted it that he not. It's I should believe him.
Speaker 5: Damn. What do you think of the Jake Paul Anthony
Speaker 5: Joshua fight? It's from a boxing perspective.
Speaker 1: I think Jake Paul is crazy and he gonna get
Speaker 1: it as murder.
Speaker 5: Don't you like a white boy that's not afraid to die?
Speaker 1: It's no, it's crazy. He is crazy. But I get
Speaker 1: it though. If you're gonna go, if you're gonna go
Speaker 1: from a superstar in boxing to the fighting can suit
Speaker 1: and you're gonna fight a real fighter, why don't you
Speaker 1: I get weight? He going big? He going the biggest
Speaker 1: of the big. You want Olympic gold medalist at heavyweight,
Speaker 1: you're going two time world champion and unified world champion
Speaker 1: at heavyweight. And he is superstar in the UK and
Speaker 1: everybody a lot of people know him here. So I
Speaker 1: get it. He sold out to what the O two
Speaker 1: so without Whimbley that crazy.
Speaker 5: Like he got like seven like seven different fights that
Speaker 5: had like a million plus people people.
Speaker 1: He goes, I'm telling you crazy, telling you so, I
Speaker 1: get it. On a business standpoint, physically and mentally emotionally,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be fucked up.
Speaker 2: Is it worth it?
Speaker 5: Because I think I saw the number was ninety five.
Speaker 5: He was getting plus bonuses. Jay Both, Yeah, that's what
Speaker 5: I saw. I don't know if that's true or that
Speaker 5: I saw it. I saw both of them. Was getting
Speaker 5: like ninety to ninety five million apiece.
Speaker 1: Yes, I don't know. That might be cap. Yeah, that's so,
Speaker 1: that might be cap. That's a lot of money.
Speaker 5: AJ makes a lot of money already.
Speaker 1: J makes a lot of money.
Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying. But and Eddie, Eddie heardson when
Speaker 5: he saw the number, he called a j like, Okay,
Speaker 5: we gotta do this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I ain't gonna lie. Yeah, because he money hungry.
Speaker 1: Damn I think it's worth it. Hell yeah, jump in.
Speaker 1: It's only gonna as the Snugger's gonna be quick.
Speaker 5: Yes, But you say, like, he's not getting hit by
Speaker 5: like a mack truck, bro.
Speaker 1: He is.
Speaker 5: This is different man, he is.
Speaker 1: But they say, they say, you're right. Nah, he's not
Speaker 1: gonna get that much punishment. It's gonna take one over
Speaker 1: with that's the that's the best way to go. What
Speaker 1: if j Paul wins. What if we start flying right
Speaker 1: now talking about about what are we talking about?
Speaker 5: People who don't watch boxing don't understand that like this
Speaker 5: is that that's insane. It's not happening.
Speaker 6: Because Jake quire so many fans that aren't boxing fans
Speaker 6: or just Jake Paul fans, right, him losing like him losing,
Speaker 6: how much does that mess up anything for him? Because
Speaker 6: boxers y'all care a lot when y'all lose, he is
Speaker 6: a bit.
Speaker 1: It was over for him if he loses, but key words,
Speaker 1: if it won't happen. But and then when it come
Speaker 1: close to you talking about.
Speaker 6: Jake loses, what does it do to him?
Speaker 1: He's supposed to what I'm saying. That's why I said
Speaker 1: it's worth it. He's supposed to lose getting paid, getting paid,
Speaker 1: and he gonna fight. He's gonna fight the former unified
Speaker 1: heavyweight world champion in the world, former two time world
Speaker 1: champion and heavyweight former Olympic gold medalist. That is, in
Speaker 1: itself just like getting in a ring with that guy
Speaker 1: is you know, probably the upside the accomplishment and.
Speaker 5: He's still active. This ain't like God bless my tax,
Speaker 5: but it ain't like ain't outside right now.
Speaker 1: For sure, And Jake gonna be outside a minute too.
Speaker 5: What's your motivation for a fight like Cruise? Because I
Speaker 5: feel like with Tank you felt overlooked in that matchup
Speaker 5: and that was like the chip on your shoulders. What's
Speaker 5: that with the Cruise fight.
Speaker 1: I still carry that chip regardless. Vegas did do the
Speaker 1: right thing and made me finally the favorite. But you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not too much worried about that. I know I
Speaker 1: was considered the underdog, and you know, two world title fights,
Speaker 1: three world title fights, so you know, they just they
Speaker 1: had me messed up and that was a little extra,
Speaker 1: little boost, a little kick. But you know, it's still
Speaker 1: people saying that, oh, I'm not gonna be able to
Speaker 1: deal with Cruiser's power, I'm not gonna be able to
Speaker 1: deal with Pitbull just coming forward and all this and
Speaker 1: all that. Those people got me fucked up to They
Speaker 1: they they got me messed up too. So it's just
Speaker 1: like it's like, you know, damn if you do, damn
Speaker 1: if you don't, I'm always gonna do.
Speaker 5: Where does this fight rank emotionally for you? Like, is
Speaker 5: this the biggest moment of your career?
Speaker 1: I think it's just probably the biggest moment in my
Speaker 1: career because it's gonna catapult me into that stage where
Speaker 1: all right, here's your new American champions Star. Again. If
Speaker 1: this paper view does well, which I think it will,
Speaker 1: it's almost on the verge of selling out So if
Speaker 1: I can do this capitalize look good, they're gonna want
Speaker 1: to see me in there with chicour you know the
Speaker 1: other just just names period and guys that are champions,
Speaker 1: and that's what I want to do. So it's going
Speaker 1: to be me becoming a spectacle of the sport and
Speaker 1: what comes with that comes more money, so you know uh,
Speaker 1: and that's going to be the This is like the
Speaker 1: legacy run of my career, which I tried to I
Speaker 1: told y'all last time, like it's it's on the way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, wish you the best next Saturday in Texas. This
