I should know this, but i always you know i never know the the name of the weight class.
I just know the numbers.
What’S what number is for the week uh light light? Is a feather oh yeah, so featherweight is uh about 130.
, i’m assuming well being serious and i’m assuming that’s how they kind of came up with featherweight, with the lighter weight classes, yeah for sure the lowest.
For those of you that don’t know the lowest weight class possible is called straw weight you’re like as a straw.
What is that, like 108, i believe so yeah yeah yeah working walking around at 108 pounds 108 pounds man, i uh.

Definitely a force to be reckoned with in the ring at the featherweight division.
We’Re gon na get to see lots of men.
You know he uh back december 21.
I believe it was um.
He inked a promotional deal with top ranked man.
So you know he’s got he’s, got the right people behind him.
That’S for sure man um.
You know the 20 we’ll see that in a couple years um he was the 2020 u.
s olympic trials champion at 125.
Pounds – and you know this featherweight prospect signed a multi-year professional contract with top ranked and karen turner turned pro with a unanimous decision.
Victory on the tyson fury dante, while there’s three under cardinals – oh, that was his pro debut.
That was his pro debut.
Yes, that wow, that was one hell of a pro dig.
Imagine that your first professional fight is on like pay-per-view event, one of the biggest heavyweight fights of all time.
That’S your whole debut wow, yeah uh yo carrington is from brownsville brooklyn um.
You know the same neighborhood that produced mike tyson zab judah, shannon briggs yeah uh.
He will train with he trains with the noted kate, korma uh, who is known for working with the likes of shakura stevenson, michaela mayer uh, you know carrington’s top ranked debut uh you know was set for saturday january 15th on the joe smith jr and callum johnson Undercard at the turning stone resort casino in verona, uh carrington missed out on an opportunity to qualify for the tokyo after uh american qualifiers are cancelled in 2020 and 2021.
It was unfortunate break for the 24 year old who began boxing in the brooklyn gyms at the age of seven.
He watched up close his fellow new york city fighters like danny jacobs, louis cosello and curtis stevens turned into top professionals.
Uh carrington’s, nickname shushu means the one who rises above all in egyptian uh.
He finally rose to the top of the amateur heat man and as the eighth seed at the olympic trials, he defeated the likes of duke reagan, uh the top-ranked signee, who earned silver medal in tokyo in addition to carrington uh top rank.
You know they they signed.
All five male olympians from tokyo under contract, so we’re talking, troy, eisley tiger johnson reagan, keishan davis and richard torres jr, and we have profiled every single one of these guys and we have talked about them and had them – and you know it’s: it’s just top-ranked man.
You know they’re top the top of the game top rank.
You know what it is man i don’t know about top of the game, since they got a couple guys leaving them like one of their times.
They are at the top of the game.
They might not be the top top when you’re at the top of the game when it comes to promotions man, and it’s only because they’ve been around forever they’re.
You know the the grandfather all this stuff they’ve been around for years, man, bob remy.
Does it right? Man he’s got he’s got his his guys.
You know, with their ear to the ground, to find out these.
You know young up and coming guys and uh.
Definitely man they picked.
They picked a good year to sign all the uh, all the mail off the uh big team, right, yeah, yeah yeah.
You know what i i i don’t know if we’re gon na get him in here man, it’s uh, it’s looking like it’s getting to that time.
Where we’re gon na have to uh we’re gon na have to sign off here and um yeah man we’re gon na have to reschedule it looks like he wasn’t able to get out of training cedric.
Let them know what you do when uh, when you’re training, guys man, nothing, interrupts right, nothing ever interrupts.
No! No! No because i mean at the end of the day the reason why we or people want to interview a box in the first place because they’re you know they’re, they’re, good and up and coming and, and you know, they’re they’re um.
They have a bright future.
But if you have to keep taking breaks um during your training, um that you know that that doesn’t do well for your for your end result, which is winning the fight, which is the ultimate goal um.
So anything else that that stands in the way of that is is second, so so yeah.
This is why we understand that this does happen.
Sometimes you know we’ll confirm and uh.
You know we’ll have this scheduled, but uh, you know.
Unfortunately, the life of a boxer allows this to happen and uh.
You know what we understand because uh you know what we we understand, the boxing life man we’re involved in it.
We we know these young kids are working their ass off.
