You all know who i am i’m sheila it’s in your face.
I’M stafford stafford boxing, the making of champions hello.
Everybody, hello, hello, hello, hello! We’Re glad that you wait to tune in to the stafford boxing report.

I am stafford and i am stafford boxing on social media.
Yes, yes, yes, so we have a great show.
Today there was something that i bought.
Actually i wanted to go back to last monday, which was august 8th.
My husband had spoke about character.
That was his gold nugget that he left us all with, and i just kept on thinking about character, character, character, character and it brought me back to when you were going to the georgia state capitol and you were working on your resolution 74, which is the support For minority owned plasma centers and the process that it has to go through, it’s called dual and what that is, it has to pass through the house and then it has to pass through the senate yeah.
I was going for a dual resolution: dual resolution gotcha.
So the reason why i wanted to bring this back up was because there was a time when there was a civil suit that was going on.
No, what happened? Oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah.
Well, it was dissolved where we had.
We had rectified because the judge ruled in your favor yeah yeah yeah.
The judge ruled in your favor it’s some time back, so i’m a little fuzzy with it.
So i’m going to try my best, don’t worry about it, though, but i will assist her.
So there was a gentleman, his name, i believe, was b.
j peck yeah.
He was and he was actually a former republican, a member of the georgia house of representatives.
Well, he still is a group he’s still, it probably came, but he was part of the uh house of representatives for the state of georgia got you so stafford was going up there to and he was putting in a lot of sweat equity as usual.
First of all, i had no background whatsoever or trying to get a any type of legislative bill passed at the georgia state capitol.
This was pure determination.
I did a little bit research and i had wrote my own resolution and the resolution was for the support of african americans to have an opportunity in the blood plasma industry in the state of georgia.
And so when i wrote the resolution.
So many people told me that it wasn’t going to pass.
The state of georgia is very conservative on both sides, the republicans shooting the house and the senate, and i was trying to get a dual resolution.
So getting the dual resolution is kind of like it being into law.
So at the time like my wife was saying, there was a civil matter that i was in dispute and attorney b.
j pack, who was the former attorney general for the united states, uh district court.
Northern district of atlanta, so he was sitting on that committee and so uh representative roger bruce, had introduced the resolution and i i can’t remember what committee he had set on, but he had set on that committee and so when the committee came up.
Excuse me, when the resolution came up for the committee to vote on um b.
j pack attorney b.
j pack, he said that he couldn’t vote on it because it was a conflict of interest, but in our reality what it was was that me being not an attorney? I was able to win my situation against him and so, as a result he turned around and you know just destroyed the whole thing.
So i – and i want to say this part too, because this is important for everybody, even though he denied it and wouldn’t let it go through.
I really have to honor my husband and commend him for him not giving up when that news came about.
Yes, he was devastated, devastation crushed, i remember it and it wasn’t a good feeling and as being his wife, i had felt the same thing.
So i had to encourage him, but the man that he is he got into his word.
He believed in the word he stood on the word and he went back into the fight just like boxing.
He went back into the fight because he needed to put more sweat equity into it.
So i remember this ex.
I remember it as it was yesterday when you went back to the capitol.
You were actually wanting to speak to one of the senators yeah.
So now remember you had told me that before you had left the house, she said when you get there you’re going straight to go, speak with the senator, but i don’t remember the senator’s name yeah.
I forgot his name too, but so, when attorney bj pack disrupted that resolution in the house, i turned my focus to the senate and so um a guy by the name of melvin everson, had recommended me to a couple of um.
You know representatives human senators at the state matter of fact.
He said: go to this person.
Go to that person.
I’M not gon na meet.
That was that was a real boss move, because your name and reputation is is everything and if your name is in good standing and if you go to execute certain things, people will definitely move on your behalf because of the name it adds value.
It brings weight.
So anyway, i was in the elevator and uh.
I was going to go, see one of the senators that was on the uh.
I think the health and science committee, where my resolution was going to go before the committee and so it’s kind of like a process before a resolution get passed so anyway.
I was in the elevator, and i saw this senator and i was like you know what i was on my way to go to your office to meet with you.
You know and talk with you about my resolution.
He said to me that, because of your character that when you didn’t get the resolution passed in the house and then the first time when you didn’t get the resolution passed in the senate, your character gave us the confidence and the ability on your behalf, to grant You this resolution before the senate, so i’m going to speak with all the rest of my colleagues about your resolution and because of your character, meaning like he said i wasn’t on social media and i wasn’t talking bad about the georgia state senators.
I didn’t you know, pull the race card or anything i i continue to be professional and respectful to those who did not approve of my resolution, the first time and then the situation with attorney b.
j pack.
I did not say anything negative about him as well.
All my issues were dealt with privately.
Like my wife said, i went and got into my word.
You know my you know my wife just consulted me.
She you know she supported me.
She gave me the confidence to um.
You know get back up and get back into the fight as like a fighter when he you know in that particular round, and he was in there fighting.
So he goes to the corner and the trainer tells him hey.
You need to do this.
You need to do that.
Give him some water give him his mouthpiece and go back in, and you know like using that situation compared to boxing is basically like your training, your conditioning.
So let me give you an example, so because of other things in my life that i had experienced, it gave me the strength to get back up and fight.
I had the endurance to continue to fight, but then i knew how to uh deal with this particular fight.
So i was reading custom, auto book and cuss would say when you uh as a fighter, you want to spall with different fighters, because if you fight with the same excuse me, if you spall with the same fighter, you can only obtain a certain level of skill Set that fighter can only offer you so much so cuz.
He encouraged to spaw with different fighters because different fighters have different techniques and style and and it will prepare you more to be successful in the ring.
So with that being said me going through so much in my life and dealing with business and trying to deal with the plasma industry and trying to get the plasma center up off the ground and just going ups and down, i learned so much from the experiences.
Yes, they were, very you know, um, like my wife, would say bone crushing, but at the same time it gave me the experience to help me later on in a different type of fight, and you know being around a lot of people and just reading the word Of god, it just gave me the the knowledge that i was seeking because me not having a father uh.
I couldn’t go to anyone to tell me how to deal with this.
I went to the word and through the word it spoke to my heart and i would receive the word and internalize it and then i will go for it and i’ll apply it to certain situations.
So with that being said, the reason why they passed my um resolution was because of my character and, like my wife said, the reason why she wanted to bring up character because of last week i had talked about character, and so she said that um, when we Got off air was that she wanted to talk about character and use me as an example for the house.
Res excuse me the senate resolution 74 and i want to say thank you baby for just acknowledging me um before the world and giving me an opportunity to share a little bit about my testimony, and i really appreciate you know just sharing it on this platform.
So you did a great job, introducing um the people and giving them an example.
A live example through me about character, and so it was only my character that got that senate pass.
Yes, it was prayers from above, but i had to do my part and character.
Like i said last week, your education, your experience, will get you to the door of that opportunity, but your character will determine how far you go through that door and, like i said i, i don’t have no experience in lobbying lobbying any type of bills whatsoever.
I do not have a desire to be a politician.
I do not have a desire to do anything as it relates to politics, but the vision.
My passion led me down that road to obtain that experience and it was very successful and fulfilling, and i appreciated no problem.
So i just wanted to speak about my grandmother just for a moment and then i’m going to go into the some history with women in in the boxing industry, but my grandmother’s name was or is martha williams.
She was a wonderful woman.
She was a god-fearing woman when i was young.
I just didn’t realize whom i was blessed to always have as my grandmother and just to be in her presence, because i was crying the other day because i missed her.
And i’ve really been thinking about her.
And she also was a woman of character and integrity, and i don’t know – maybe sometimes you all may have seen a video where or in a movie where you’ll see in new york the guy sitting on like those benches or whatnot.
Well, that’s how it was in new york and when my grandmother – and i would pass – i mean even the street guys – the thugs had the utmost respect for my grandmother.
So i want to honor my grandmother.
I want to honor her every day how i act, how i interact with other people, just really being a woman of god and on the other podcast i told people that i was adopted and my grandmother really truly truly loved me.
She was patient, she was forgiving and she loved me like.
I was her blood granddaughter, so i just wanted to say: grandma, martha williams.
I love you and you were a great woman and a great role model so and she could dress too.
Oh, could she dress? Hey you know what i you know.
I really commend you uh for sharing your testimony uh with people, because you and i we are very private people – and i know that your grandmother is extremely proud of you of the woman that you have become the wife that you are to me.
Uh the role model that you are to so many young women out here that look up to you, uh.
You have done an amazing work.
I appreciate it even though we’ve come a long way, but we still have work to do more work to do, but i i i can assure you – and i feel very confident in my spirit in heart that your grandmother is extremely proud of you, you’re very classy.
You’Re very classy, i’m very fortunate for you to be my wife.
You know – and i told you that this morning um how grateful i am and appreciative and for the things that you do and see the stafford boxing report is not only a platform where we talk about boxing and you know the women in boxing men in boxing Uh, the history uh the politics and boxing, but we also talk about life, and i think that’s just that’s.
What makes us uh unique in this platform.
Excuse me on this platform is that we are very diverse.
Our niche into the boxing industry is a husband and a wife we’re coming together, we’re working together to make a cause, and one of the things that i wanted to share was about how important the staff of boxing club is to me and eventually, staff at boxing Gym so i see so many kids in my community that definitely needs uh.
This staffer boxing gym and i say that because they don’t have a lot of places to to go to without being into the streets and getting into things that would change the course of their lives, and i was speaking to uh one of our um female friends.
Her name is sarah and she works with uh troy’s bank, and we were you know having a conversation today this morning, and you know the thing that i got out of sarah was well.
I told her that you know one of the things that i’m kind of uncomfortable with is uh.
You know, i’m in you know a vulnerable situation and sarah has invited me and sheila to this event and a lot of these people they’re very successful.
I mean they are.
They are movers and shakers.
Now, i’m very confident, i’m a very confident man.
I know who i am, and god i i mean, i’m just a confident man.
I mean my wife wouldn’t be with me.
If i wasn’t a confident man and i don’t think a woman would respect a man the way that my wife respects me, if i wasn’t a confident man, but i think that, like you know walking with god and just studying his word and just reading other books, I think you have to be honest with yourself and you know, speaking with sarah, i was letting her know like going into this situation.
You know it puts me in a very uncomfortable situation.
One is i’m gon na be honest.
I i’m you know i haven’t.
You know been around a lot of caucasian people, i mean i’m mostly around african-americans, and i know that where god is taking us, you know i have to you, know, get outside my comfort zone and you know just sharing with sarah just being just straight up, like Hey man, you know what it’s a little bit uncomfortable for me, but i see god he’s he’s he’s stretching us he’s stretching sheila not and he’s taking us to a different level, and so with that being said, i look at this as him preparing us and it’s Okay, to be vulnerable, it’s okay, to be honest with yourself and just like custom model talks about.
Like fear, you know, if you can acknowledge, fear, that’s great, but don’t let fear overwhelm you and so the fact that i was able to just be honest with her and share that part with her.
You know it.
It brought me back to a you know, passage in the bible, just some information that i was reading.
In a nutshell, i was like it’s okay, to be honest, and at the end of the day i was telling sarah something else, and she said it’s okay to ask people for help, and i know like in our community um we kind of like shy away, particularly Us black men, we kind of shy away from asking for help because we feel vulnerable and people will use that asking for help as a way to try to attack your character or the person that you are etc.
So a lot of us men, we go through life, knowing that we need help, but we don’t want to help ask for help because of the backlash that comes with them for asking.
But it’s okay! You know it’s! It’S it’s! Okay, to ask for help! If you truly need help – and you are asking for help to help others and that’s what the staff of boxing club the staff of boxing gym, is about it’s about helping the kids, the at-risk kids, it’s very discouraging when i see the kids running up down the Street they pans down.
I’M like look man.
If you’re gon na wear your pants down, you might want to take them off man straight up, squat business man.
I mean it just that’s just not what i believe like great fighters of our past, like muhammad ali um, joe frazier, sugar, ray lennon sugar, ray robinson uh, you know when i look at pictures of custom model.
I don’t see his pants down.
You know what i’m saying i i know where that type of uh fashion come from, but when you’re trying to elevate in life, you know if your pan is down, it’s going to hold you down.
But if your pants up, you don’t want to come up facts fast facts, so i’m excited because i’ve been learning so much with women in the boxing industry.
So did you know that the first advertisement was in london in 1722? I believe it was with elizabeth wilkinson who fought hannah highfield 1722, the first advertisement for women boxing.
It wasn’t.
You said it was in london in london, which is really not surprising, and then women, as we probably all know or we don’t know, they’ve been fighting under the radar, and i really respect these women.
And let me just tell you why, during certain times, they still continue to do what they wanted to do, what they love to do and the passion for boxing, even though they wasn’t getting credit, they wasn’t getting.
You know certain advertisements now the marketing like we have now, but they still did it and they kept going and that’s why so many women before us i’m so grateful for them, because now i have the opportunity, as a woman, to be able to do what it Is that i want to do and then my husband and i together within the boxing industry? So that’s why i’m really into the history of women in boxing and also they fought for charity and they also helped with the aid of world war one.
That is big time.
That’S big time.
The aid to help within the aid of world war, one come on now, scrapbook boxing good afternoon, family, hey scrapbook boxing.
I was wondering when you were coming.
What’S up what’s up and also women wrote about boxing and there’s a lady named katherine fullerton, drauld she’s, an american writer? She was born in massachusetts.
She actually wrote about the jack, dempsey and gene tony fight, which was a controversial fight, and i’m gon na tell you why, but they also had a mill.
It was a million dollar gate.
That’S like a million dollars like for the tickets for them to come in live gate.
It was actually like a million dollars and gene tony took a million, got a million dollars for just fighting for 40 minutes, so jack dempsey also manager, whose name is tex richardson made a section from women’s spectators.
That’S how he promoted dempsey’s bouts.
It was called the wren section, no, the the jenny wren section, i’m sorry, so that was for women’s spectators.
Hold up! Look at him.
You see how detailed my wife is about the women in boxing.
You can see what i’m saying like she’s talking like man, i’m talking about she going.
I mean man hold up she bringing in death history about women in boxing and baby.
Look.
You had talked about jack dempsey.
Let me tell you something.
No, so i believe it was two how long one second, it was two million six hundred and fifty thousand 000 with all with the gross receipts and the reason why it was a controversial fight, because, when dempsey knocked out, tony dempsey didn’t go straight to his corner.
He was still around tony, so the referee couldn’t start counting.
He started counting five seconds later, but then 15 seconds passed so tony was able to recuperate and get back up, but then tony ended up.
Well, i wouldn’t say knockout because when he hit dempsey dempsey like touched his knee on the ground – and i think it was after he got up – that’s when the referee had started counting for that one.
So that’s why it was controversial.
So not only was there women boxers, but there was also women that wrote about the sport of boxing scrapbook boxing manager, jack kearns promoter tex, richard tony was dropped in the seventh round.
Yes, and that’s by scrapbook boxing.
Also.
I want to talk about in 1876.
I believe um it was nell saunders and rosa harton, they fought and they had their first official fight in new york.
I believe it was called at the it was called the hills at new york and also haiti stewart she is the first female boxing champion and there’s also a lady named paulie faircloth.
She was.
She was the first to fight first female to fight at london in london at the national sporting club, and i believe that she fought men and she also had an expedition fight with jack jack jack johnson in dublin you tell me yes, so you cannot tell me That women boxers fighters athletes that they are not exciting, they did what they had to do, how they had to do it.
They were not scared, they did not back down, and i can say this, though oops i can see why they chose to fight men.
Why? Because when you fight men, you can take pain better from when you fight with the female someone, like the punches, the punches and the punches are going to be different and they’re going to come different.
So it’s more so like a learning experience that they were actually do so i have nothing but respect for all these female fighters and female fighters too we’re actually going to talk about some of the fighters.
That’S coming up september 10th at the 02 arena in uk.
Yes, but back to jack dempsey, he also jack dempsey was a migrant worker.
He knew what it was to be hungry.
If there’s such thing as your stomach being below e, he experienced that and he was homeless so with him working any time that he had.
That was free, he would fight and that’s how he was able to make extra money where he would be able to find a hotel stay in a hotel and also put some food in his stomach and he was a ferocious fighter ferocious.
I was waiting for you to say the word ferocious.
He was ferocious, he fought the giant, i think his last name was willard willard also fought jack johnson, but that fight with dempsey – and that was not fair at all because he went crucial.
He did the dipsy double.
He did the dempsey double shift on him too, and it was so loud that they couldn’t hear the bell and dempsey left and they had to hurry up and and get him, and he had to finish the fight.
So dempsey, then, once he retired, that’s why that’s that’s one of our favorite fights.
Oh, we read one of his books too yeah yeah.
We can’t tell y’all all our you know, i’m saying gumbo that we like, because we want to say that, for our kids and and by the grace of god, we will eventually have us a world champion that come through the staff of boxing club but uh.
Yes, jack dempsey, he was ferocious and also jack dempsey.
He loved pit bulls too uh.
I got a photo of jack dempsey him and a little dog, but during that time, uh that bloodline was kobe and the reason why you can tell it was colby because uh, if you watch little rascals, they had the pit bull one had a spot yeah.
You know that was the the bloodline of the colby bloodline, uh bulldogs, so i’m game, i’m game in this boxing industry, i’m game in that box.
You get what i’m saying, i’m the staffer boxing we just game like that, but man we love and that boy, jack dempsey was ferocious boy.
Scrapbook boxing said wow.
You really know boxing hey look at him.
We are.
We are students of the crowd.
Always that’s all.
We are we’re just student of the craft, we’re not trying to outshine a master as robert greene would say, the student never should outshine the master.
What we’re doing just you know just being humble and trying to learn as much as we can, but also use the knowledge that we obtained through life and applied in the boxing industry and in our club facts.
So the fight in uk.
We already know the two main ones, but the other young.
Ladies, oh my gosh, i need to start off with caroline dubois.
What, when i tell you this young lady has talent she’s a real.
She is passionate, she wants it, and i was watching uh interview and one of the things that i like about her is: she knows what she has to work on, that’s important and when you know, and can see what you need to work on, that makes it Even better, but let me tell you about her, she is, she is a southpaw fighter, she’s from england.
She has, she could do long range shots she.
What else can she do? Oh, her punches are precise, they’re, powerful.
It’S like when i was watching her train and then when i saw her in the olympics 2018 by the way you can see it’s like she know.
It’S like you can almost read her mind a little bit because once she’s up on you and those one, two threes, it’s really nothing that you can do about it, baby, what you think she’s up, she’s up and coming we’re not going to hear the last from Her, i would love to have her on the show we got to.
We have to see what do you think about her and clarissa? Oh boy, do you think that would be hey that will be when she gets when she has more practice more experience, it’s a wrap because she said that she she wants it.
It’S like she wants to fight anyone, and i can’t stop thinking about her.
So you all look out for her and she’s a very humble young, lady, too baby.
You know what i want to say.
It was something that we had talked about last week and we had talked about don king right, oh yeah.
But what i will say about don king is that don king.
He puts on great fights what i mean by that is like the top competitor and the top dog they fight, and so that’s one of the great things about don king that he never short changed the boxing community or the fans with his fights.
Now.
In today’s time we don’t see that type of level of uh fights like it used to be so don king.
I want to you know, say some positive things about you, because oftentimes people say a lot of bad things about you, but as students of the boxing industry, we see good fights and we want to let you know that you have put on some amazing fights with Some of the best fighters of all time in all classes, gotcha.
I agree and she’s also a world youth champion as well, and i think she’s a four times european champ too, that she got a lot going on and i’m excited i i i’m excited to really see that fight.
I wish she was the second one, but no disrespect to michaela and alicia baby.
We got ta, hopefully that’s gon na be a good fight.
All of them are gon na, be good fights because i’m not gon na talk about all the females, because we don’t have that type of time, but all these females, i believe, they’re going to bring a new, a new yeah new element and a crowd of more Women in the united states, yes to support the the sport of boxing and so okay, they knew what they was doing.
Boy yeah do y’all know how many fights that the women are going to be because i’m really excited about this fight.
That’S coming up because it’s like having the women come to atlanta, though you feel them sound like at the state farm arena.
You get what i’m saying so.
Hopefully we can be that voice that can bring uh woman boxing to the city of atlanta.
Now i think that i received that yeah, i believe.
If women come to atlanta, okay yeah, we gon na sell out no cappuccino yo yo, so the person who she’s gon na be fighting is molina kaliva she’s from bulgaria she’s an orthodox.
That’S her stance and she’s good too.
She has some power to it.
She’S she swings a little wild, but it’s like her she’s she’s, very strong, like you could tell like her body’s just strong and it almost seems like it’ll, be working yeah.
She she has, and – and i’m really looking for – i’m really looking forward – i’m looking forward to all the fights, but you know how you have that one where you like man, i’m telling you that the boys serious she is the one i wan na.
I wan na see her in a clarissa shields fight, though when she gets more experienced and she has a great trainer – i don’t know his name, but you can also tell that when a boxer is being treated right, you can tell because she’s just as happy she’s Content she’s at peace, but she’s ready to go to war when it when it when it’s there, she is she’s gon na keep scratching all the way.
So i will definitely be following miss dubois from england, where david beckham is from and they’re known for their chips.
Fish and chips and, of course, their tea as well as the beetles, and you know what is rude to do in england to shout what they don’t like it.
They just think that it’s rude to just shout into and to be aggressive.
So i was, i was real curious about that.
Okay, so lauren price is another one with tamiya balik.
I hope i’m pronouncing her name right.
So lauren price is from wales.
I was watching her.
She was in the 2020 olympics in tokyo.
Now she is a strategic fighter and she will measure her distance, but – and she has a mean left hook – bam yeah, though we and she’s also a south paw, and i like her too.
I, like all the women, but it’s just certain ones that just stick out it can go both ways with me just as long as you can fight and you putting in their work and you’re taking it seriously.
I don’t care if you’re, southpaw or orthodoxy.
So let me ask you questions so, let’s say: for instance, you saw uh a female fighter or a male fighter um and that particular fighter wanted you to manage them.
What is it that you believe that you can bring to the table um that can help advance his or her career in the boxing industry, knowing the obstacles that are in your way, in terms of like the the giants over there, like bob a room top ranked Don king uh dazz and the rest of those guys well, the first thing that i would do what cuss did is to actually have a talk with the fighter first, just to see where they are at mentally just period.
If there’s anything that we need to know that they may be going through in their personal lives, it doesn’t even matter i we can be trusted with that.
I think that’s the most important i would let them know talk about myself and i’ll just be like look.
You don’t worry about anything, the only thing you have to worry about, or only thing not even worry about.
So let’s take worry out my vocabulary.
The only thing you have to do is just come in and train.
That’S all you have to do everything else.
That’S what stafford and i are here for and if you just believe and just stay down you, it’s really nothing to worry about, because i’m not sure look, i’m not trying to be cocky right.
I’M not.
I am not a cocky person.
I do have confidence, but i do believe because of how we carry ourselves and the type of people that we are character and integrity and being believers.
I believe that that’s going to take us very far, like my husband, is a very great business person.
I will say that he knows more about that than i do.
Maybe you two kind of i would say as of right now i am interning.
No, no, no! No! No, no, listen! Listen! I’M interning and the reason why i’m saying that i’m interning and there’s nothing wrong with that is because i’m watching and at the same time i’m also doing i’m listening and i’m asking questions.
So i can have an understanding, there’s nothing wrong because look.
Let me bring this up: i’m okay, beyonce and jay-z.
Okay.
Now i don’t listen to the music unless i’m working out taking my spin class, but beyonce has jay-z, she has the plug right there.
That’S why she’s been able to do and to be where she is at now when beyonce first came in, she was learning and then the more that you’re into it.
The more you’re going to learn the more experiences your ups and downs, your mistakes, people doing you wrong, knowing what to do what not to do jay-z groomed beyonce to be the business person.
She is now that’s why, when she comes out with the album, not this one, she that she came out with, but the last one her marketing was like on point.
So you have to learn from somebody.
Why not learn from your husband if there are things that you don’t know, because you can trust your husband to tell you to do the right thing.
So there’s nothing wrong with that.
Okay, i’m gon na! Let you speed, but listen! No! No! No! Okay! Go ahead! I i was just gon na say respectfully i am very humble.
My husband has groomed me, i’m not afraid to say that i’m not afraid to say that, because see this is the.
This is the thing with when this is the thing.
This is the thing with marriages.
Okay is always sometimes the man or the woman is saying i i i i i i it there is.
No, i it’s us, it’s, we it’s a team and then you have to give props where props is due and that’s what’s in a marriage, so sit back and relax.
It’S humbling baby.
Okay, well just continue on being humbling and let me do some bragging rights, so scrapbook boxing her brother daniel, will be fighting again as well.
Okay, i’m glad you told me that lol, i hear you nice words of wisdom, very true sheila.
I fully agree.
Uh man scrapbook boxing he is like he’s family he’s like i like that so lauren pro, oh and also who’s from wales, is anthony hopkins.
If everybody knows him, he is an actor, so um tamiya bellic.
I believe she is from hungary, gary hungary.
You know what i keep on saying hungry and i do not know why and when we get off of this my husband’s gon na say sheila did you do what you were supposed to do? I did i put it in the pronunciation and i’m still saying hungry, how do you pronounce it? I’M not perfect everybody.
That’S why i like the fact that i made that mistake, but he’s going to get on me once no, i’m not but baby.
Let me just say this, but she has punching power.
I i guess i’m hungry, i don’t know it’s it’s very, it’s very humbling.
When your wife speaks, you know highly love, you and oftentimes.
You know i’m just not real comfortable with this because, like i said, we’re very private so when she say these things publicly, it’s it’s it’s overwhelming and i truly appreciate it, but i’m i’m more of the backdrop guy, but when i need to be in the forefront, I can make that adjustment but uh.
I think that it just i guess it’s just a good feeling when you know your wife acknowledge you and acknowledge your talent and your commitment time into the marriage and, like i said earlier, staff for boxing.
Excuse me, the staffer boxing report is more than just a boxing on podcast.
We talk about marriage.
We talk about life like this year, be 14 years for us being married holy mary, and you know.
If i had to do it all over again, i would have saved my virginity until i met sheila and the reason why i say that is that uh like sheila is a very complete woman and she is worthy of that type of gift.
And i just you know, but they’re just going through life, making mistakes, and i would encourage every young man and young woman to you know save yourself until you get married man, it’s a lot of things that can happen that can derail you from being intimately involved With someone prematurely when you haven’t yet gotten yourself together and as the kids, the boxers that come through our um avenue, we want you to display a high level discipline.
That’S what’s going to make you a world champion inside the boxing ring and outside of the boxing ring, because without that discipline you’re not gon na make it.
It is discipline that allows us to be here before you talking on a podcast show.
We live a very disciplined lifestyle.
We watch what we eat drink plenty of water.
We refrain from watching certain things listening to certain things, and it’s not saying that we better than anyone.
We just do what we believe that makes us who we are so that we can be a light in darkness, facts and just to finish up.
She also has great punching power, and she has some amazing defense and with you saying that too, anyone who’s watching now or is going to be watching later or listening to the podcast on audio.
If you are a trainer or a promoter, and you would like to start fighter facts, sorry about it, you’d contact us, we would love to have we’d love to have you on the show.
So you can have some exposure is what we know that is needed to help to help you all out, plus the staffer boxing report is a is a platform to prepare you to be in front of those big cameras like let’s say when you boxing them.
You know espn or you across the world and you you know reporter got that microphone in your face and so by you having the opportunity to come on the stafford boxing report and you know, get interviewed and talk.
This is preparation for the next level, so we would like to use our platform as a springboard to help you mature and be confident, as you speak in front of a camera.
The way you pronounce your words and how you avoid questions and how you answer questions.
That’S one of the things that uh talking fight offers to boxers is an opportunity to be groomed in front of the camera, because some boxers just don’t have that level of teaching.
They have not been taught correctly.
How to you know, speak and answer questions and to avoid certain questions and just your whole mannerism.
So we want to invite you to come and you know be a part of the staff for boxing and i’m tell you now right now.
You might as well go ahead and get involved with us now, because when we don’t be knocked out, man can i be on your plate.
We didn’t get your opportunity, then we’re gon na we’re gon na charge you he said.
I’M saying it’s gon na be like that.
You get what i’m saying, so we want people to be with us as we grow.
You know so now that we can always go back to you when you advance in your career, and you know, look at it and say you know what baby we was a part of his success and that’s what our aim and focus is is to be a Part of people’s lives in a successful way, be it in the boxing industry or being outside in the community.
That’S what the staffer boxing brand is about.
It’S a premium brand.
This is a premium couple, a husband and and and wife boaz and ruth, not po, ass, but boaz.
It’S a difference.
No, i’m talking about and uh graham boyce said well said, and what i also want you all to do is to watch the podcast when we had graham boyce on which was october 1st, and he can also go more into details.
I mean oops.
I am tripping august august 1st, don’t worry about it! I’M gon na always have my wife back always because i’m like that, oh i’m being funny today, no og seriously august 1st because he was even talking about with the gems and the technology that they have with the oh yeah, yeah, hey but baby.
You know what i think i just have like a lot going on in my head.
You excited baby, i i really am.
I know especially for that september 10th, with the with all those women.
Where are we? Where are we gon na go watching? We got ta figure out what time it’s gon na be yeah.
I got to find out.
What’S the time difference boy hold on a second before scrapbook box, and mr stafford sheila is your queen.
So when you’re complimented embrace it because she knows all of you, that’s where the compliment matters you’re blessed brother and then he said you’re both blessed with each other.
I appreciate that scrapbook box and we all have your back sheila hey.
I appreciate that bro, but my wife.
She she gives me a lot of praise privately and she lets me know privately to me.
That’S that’s more important that she praised me when it just me and her um to say it publicly.
It’S just icing on the cake.
For me i mean it’s, it’s cool, but i i’m just.
Let me tell you something, though: i don’t think that men are celebrated enough, even men who have children yeah, we have father’s day.
Yes, we have mother’s day, but i always see mother’s day is like everybody’s going all out, but then i’m not saying that some people around the world don’t show out for fathers.
Don’T get me wrong, i don’t.
I can’t tell you the numbers, because i have.
I don’t know i haven’t traveled all around the world, but from what i see what i hear on social media, it’s always a lot of times.
The females are bashing the men, the females are always bashing the fathers, so i just feel like men should be celebrated.
I know that i do i mean i do and i have a voice for women.
Of course, i’m always going to have speak about women and the things that they’ve done and experience and what they’ve gone through and just really acknowledge the women and appreciate women, which i really do.
We go through a lot.
We have experience a lot, but we can’t forget that men go through things too, and they have experienced some things and we’re not men.
So we can’t understand how they feel mentally when because men can be broken and a woman can break a man’s spirit.
So we have to be careful with our words and then this is something that i’ve been thinking about, too.
Be careful with how you treat people be careful what you say to people, because what ends up happening is when you do something wrong to somebody.
It really affects them in a bad way, so throughout years they carry that with them and they close up.
Like me, i closed up.
I hadn’t had a friend a female friend for over 14 15, maybe 20 years because of the experience that i had with females that i thought was my friend.
But now i’m seeing that.
God is restoring that so sarah estella mary and a young lady named rhonda, which i think i’ll be working out with tomorrow, i’mma try but she’s gon na put she’s gon na put it on serious man hold on one second um baby.
Before i forget, i wanted to uh give a shout out.
You know what yeah yeah akn, it’s a it’s, a god bless his soul.
He went home to be with the lord.
He was a great mentor.
His name is dr m.
c, norman and uh.
It was a gospel song that uh m.
c said that he warned wanted them to play at his home going, and so this morning i woke up – and i just started thinking about m.
c and in that song and the song was performed by a husband and a wife And next time i come on air.
I’M gon na have the couple name, but anyway you say let the words speak for me, and so anyway, i’m not a very you know we don’t sing.
I don’t i don’t sing, but it was so much substance in that song and so it get it got me to thinking about when sheila and our time come.
We want the work that we have accomplished or have done speak for us and so through the stafford boxing club and everything else behind the staff for boxing.
We want to make sure that we prepare the next leaders to take this and take it to another level, and we hope that the young, kids and men and women of all ages will be inspired, particularly those in the black community, to see a positive couple.
That has a passion for people, and i think that my passion comes from.
God, like, i, really have a passion to serve to help, but i’ve learned over the course of my life is not to help someone to the point that it hurts me, and there were some situations that i put myself in because i over extended myself and so With that being said, just learning about certain things in life, i think that sheila and i is definitely going to be a blessing to the young, kids and young men that come through us and women that comes through our program throughout our gym, through our business endeavors And you know baby, you know i i wanted to say this to to mr bob abram, mr abram sheila and i are not confrontational people we are not.
We are people is driven by a vision and we see the urgency in our community to help these at-risk youth, and so when i was speaking with sarah today and she said it’s nothing wrong asking for help.
You know and i’m trying to help these kids.
You know in in order to help them.
I’M gon na need help from outside resources outside of my community, and we are not disrespectful people we’re not.
We read things we internalize it and it gives us information to have when we sitting across from an individual, knowing who we’re dealing with robert greene talks about that.
He said know the person that you’re dealing with so we know who you are.
We know your contributions to the boxing industry, we know what top rank is and what it has developed and evolved into.
We understand that, but at the same time respectfully you know sheila and myself.
We we deserve an opportunity to to uh sit across you baby.
Didn’T you say you wan na? Yes, i i would like for mr bob aaron to introduce me to his lovely wife, mrs loving, and when i was speaking about, we can have a double date.
Yeah we can yo.
We can have a double date, cause she’s, a woman that has discernment.
I got my wife, you got your wife and i know she loves you.
You can sit down and talk about some kosher food because i do like kosher food.
Yes, i do too, because, where i grew up, all of my friends were jewish, so we used to go to new york and they had a jewish town and boy.
I used to just grub it all up, so i’m i’m definitely familiar, but i would love for that man.
So look before you even get to business.
You know get an opportunity to know the people who wants to to uh get into a partnership with you, and i want to extend me and my wife will come to las vegas.
I’Ve never been you’ve been in las vegas.
No, no! No! No! I ended up in las vegas, so that’ll give us all the right reasons to come to uh las vegas and also mr bob abram read somewhere where you said that you think that you may not live to see some of your uh.
Your prospect become world champions, but i pray and hope that god would extend your life so that you can see those prospects become world champion, because that’s one of the things that cuss didn’t have an opportunity to see with mike tyson.
He saw some of it, but he didn’t see the the the big, the big one and so um.
I know that life is a gift and an extension of time only can be granted by the god that we serve.
So i i i want you to be around to see your prospect, but i also want to you know, meet your wife and i want.
I definitely want you to meet my wife.
I love introducing people to a man when it comes to queen sheila.
You get.
What i’m saying i love to introduce people to her because, because she’s such a beautiful woman, she’s very classy, but at the end of the day me and sheila – are not disrespectful people.
We are not confrontational um.
We understand no we’re not bullies at all, but we are determined we are determined to to to to carve our piece of the pie in the boxing industry.
I think there’s a need for us and there’s an opportunity for us and we would definitely love to sit before you and and and your lovely wife, miss lovey and uh.
I’Ve seen a picture of her and you’re very blessed, sir, to have a a a woman like that.
It’S so am i but uh like i said i wanted to put this out on the airways and let everyone know that uh sheila and i is not trying to demand anything and we are not confrontational people.
As i stated, i don’t sound like a broken record, but it’s important because sometimes people can take your passion and your desire as threatening or disrespectful, and we we’re definitely not that, because why would you want to do business or get into a partnership with anyone? If you feel that they are disrespectful or confrontational or emotional people, and so we are not emotional people, we just determined um to to meet with you and we will feel very honored to have an opportunity to meet you and your lovely wife over some good kosher Food baby, you, you know what i like, i like them: um uh.
You know at kroger when you go over there about apple juice, yeah, the one that koshers the one that’s, but first they were like they were like glass, apples, but now they’re, plastic, yeah man.
That’S the best apple juice in the world.
If you ever want some, some pure uh uh apple juice, go to kroger.
Well, it’s two krogers that we go to one in the jewish community off of north dru hills and atlanta, and then the one off of uh uh covington highway in latsonia and over there in that section they got them apple juices, so they were like they used To be like 90 90 cents, [, Music ], but now they you know, inflation went up.
You know what i’m saying they probably about two two dollars: now: no, they not a 150, they 150 and man.
I’M talking about man, you drink one, just man, you can’t really drink it like guzzle it down.
It’S like one of those drinks where you put some in your mouth and you just have to taste it like you just have to enjoy it.
I guess like a nice glass of wine yeah, it’s it’s, it’s real refreshing and it’s healthy and it’s kosher.
So anything that’s kosher! You know it’s a rabbi somewhere in that kitchen somewhere in that process, making sure that you know nothing is off script, and so they watch what they put into their food, their products or whatever i do like the jewish community matter of fact, i was reading something In the bible – and he was talking about the spirit of the lord – was on the jews.
Jewish excuse me, the jews as they cross over, so that same presence that was on the jews is the same presence.
That’S on sheila or not, and – and we believe god’s presence is on us and i i i would never imagine in a million years that me and sheila together will be doing something like this, particularly in boxing and like i say he showed us a land flowing With milk and honey, it’s a lot of milk and honey over there mercy.
Look okay! I wanted to say something about the promoters too um eric boyce said you two are amazing, together: dream team.
Thank you.
Scrapbook boxing, absolutely familiar everything sings to us all.
Good scrapbook boxing is the message that matters facts, so i just want to say to the promoters, treat your your your fighters and all your staff with respect and be honest with them, and when you do your contracts, be specific, no baby make sure they have a Lawyer, no, i’m not finished yet you didn’t.
Let me finish because, like i said with the reform act it they have to be specific okay within the contract.
Okay, so what i’m saying is? Yes, they do need to have a lawyer and also to the lawyers.
Anybody who’s a lawyer, that’s watching, or you know a lawyer ex.
If you know that, there’s a boxer that may not understand english, they can’t they don’t speak english, really good.
They can’t and anybody who does not understand how the contract is written, bless your services at least one time and help them out, because you never know [ Music ], you may be serving them for a lifetime.
So always so that see look, i know everything is going up, but sometimes you do have to sow a seed.
So that’s just pro bono services, yeah and you know do it.
Oh, no! No, it helped them out.
No, no! It’S love or yeah early on, because that boxer that you sow the seed into could develop into a world champion a unified world champion and he getting millions yeah he’s getting that guam.
That brand, that you know i’m saying them chips and so by him doing a kind gesture in the beginning of his career.
Now trust is built between them, because trust is very important in the boxing industry.
It’S a lot of shady things that goes on.
I don’t understand why people that are in the boxing industry just do the things that they do and it’s crazy because you’re just in the box i mean i know it’s everywhere, but we’re talking about in the boxing industry.
It’S american greed.
I i get that, but at the same time those that are doing people wrong they’re gon na come back on you.
Would you want somebody to do your mother, like that? Your daughter, like that, your nephew, your son, like that, so if you wouldn’t want any harm to come to certain people who you’re connected with, then why would you take advantage of people who are vulnerable because it’s just like i was listening? I don’t know what you were watching, but it was basketball and a lot of kids.
A lot of people period are coming from poverty, they’re coming from some the the slums or wherever around the world.
There are no reviews yet.
