1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning Safam. We spoke on

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: the pub test this morning about a boxing promoter who's

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: had the idea of getting maybe Sunny Bill Williams, Paul

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: Gallon or Barry Hall to take on Mike Tyson. Jeff Fennick,

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: who's a friend of Mike Tyson's and knows very well

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: the power of the man, has laughed off this proposal,

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,319
Speaker 1: saying that he'd be up for manslaughter. These guys don't

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: appreciate what they'd be up for the man himself. Now,

9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: Jeff Fennick is joining us. A good morning, Jeff, Okay,

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: good morning, Hey Jeff.

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 2: How are you? Matey may how are you very well?

12
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 3: It's just extraordinary and I wouldn't really thought much about

13
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 3: it until I saw Iron Mike in that sparring session.

14
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 3: That is extraordinary, you know what that.

15
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 2: I understand them, Like I said, these guys have been

16
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: fighting fully plays and stuff, and really I don't haven't

17
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 2: amusing ar text roses. These promoters and the trainers that

18
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: are talking that would lift these guys in the ring.

19
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: I mean, are they are they gonna look after if

20
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 2: something happens to Paul Gallon or if something happened to

21
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: under these are they can look after for the rest

22
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 2: of their lives? Of course they're not. They're family. If

23
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: some one of these guys get hurt either boxing authority,

24
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: if they allow, are they gonna look after? And of

25
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: course they're not. You know, it's so crazy. I mean,

26
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: you know, it's just at a different level to these guys.

27
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: And I mean, even at fifty three, if he landed

28
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: a clean punch on some much saying, but he could

29
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: definitely hurt these guys. And listen, you get knocked out,

30
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: you hit your head, hits afore you go, and who

31
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: knows what happens to you. You know.

32
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: So you're saying that these guys might be good boxes,

33
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: but Mike Tyson, they just don't appreciate the level of

34
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: power that he has.

35
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not even saying they're good boxes. I'm saying

36
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: the good football players is a good afield player and

37
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: there's a multi talented guy in Sody Bill Williams. I've

38
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: watched them all fight. Then you know, if you want

39
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: me to give them a rating out of ten, I mean,

40
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: you know, you know I couldn't even I couldn't begin

41
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 2: to Paul Gallon for me, with his work ethic and

42
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: how hard he's done all these things. It's great. You know,

43
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: you look at what Sonny but Williams has done his

44
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 2: talents and you look at the last fight with the

45
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: AFL player Barry Hall. I mean yeah he used to.

46
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: But listen that that's that's not a level bit my

47
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: titans that like I said, I mean just watch like

48
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: just in the whole feeled one. But these guys, yes,

49
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: they could get hurt. I mean, nothing needs to get

50
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: hurt for a million dollars And it's my titles for

51
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: you guys to know. Mike is getting twenty on million

52
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 2: dollars to do this exhibition I think in Saudi Arabia

53
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: or something like that. So I mean the promoter, I

54
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: don't know what I mean. It's an offer. It's publishing

55
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: is it's a publishers really but yeah, it's not. I

56
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: don't I don't think it's going to happen anyway.

57
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 3: Well, Paul Gallum was saying that you know who would

58
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: not want to get in the ring with Mike Tyson.

59
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 3: Who would not want to It's like a young halfback

60
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: coming up and getting a chance to play against Andrew Johns.

61
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 3: I guess there's a bit of a sentimental thing. I

62
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 3: think Paul's on his own. I would not want to get.

63
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 2: In the ring with Yeah, Paul, I did in somebody

64
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: that's not even half as good as Mike Tyson. They

65
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: would knock him out in thirty seconds, you know. And

66
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: like I said, I'm a huge Paul Gallanmfina. Matter of fact,

67
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 2: I spoke to Paul yesterday, you know. But like when

68
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 2: it comes to the boxing to listen and even Paul

69
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: talking about in his next fight he gets him. I

70
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: can't Paul get all the courage in tenacity in the world. Man.

71
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 4: If Mark can't hit him, man, the fo's not going

72
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 4: to go too long. So yeah, I mean I think

73
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 4: that I know what I'm talking aout because it's boxing. Yeah,

74
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 4: these guys, you know, you know, Okay, I love the

75
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 4: sport and they're trying hard.

76
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, let's let's not put the card before the horse, guys. No, exactly.

77
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 3: And of congratulations at your anniversary today, on this day,

00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: as many people as I did, and hopefully by begin

85
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: the ready today I'm helping Sonny. I haven't heard something

86
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: Bill say, what's heard the promoter? But I'm trying to

87
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 2: help Paul go. And they're not embarrassing them and not

88
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: let people know this. And you know, of course they're

89
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: going to make some money out of it. But yeah,

90
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 2: and maybe some people think making money is more important

91
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 2: than anything else. But for me and having your your

92
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 2: your brains in the same position and being healthy and

93
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: is more important.

94
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 3: Money well, and you know that all too well. And

95
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,960
