If you want to call it like that, but um yeah, I support a lot of people and they support me.
Also like when I fight it’s show time and I don’t play like I said I don’t play you – don’t play no games.
No, you don’t play when he’s in that ring.
I want to be careful stepping in the ring with Paul, because he he’s gon na put those things on you, I’m sure you got it.
How long have you been fighting? I’Ve been boxing for 23 years, wow wow, so I I I I started a tough man.
I went 10-0 and tough man 10-1, as a professional and now I’m doing celebrity box and I’m 1-0 right now in celebrity boxing.
What’S what’s this uh is the new thing now yeah? Yes, it is, and it’s uh, like I said like I, I got experience in all three and out of all three celebrity boxes is right.
Now it’s been my favorite one, it’s been so exciting.
You meet so many people, so many people come to see it and it’s like a lot of love man.
That’S all I can say so.
Tell us.
How did you get into the sport of boxing uh? You know growing up as a kid.
I was always in trouble and – and I started boxing and it kind of like saved my life twice.
It kept me out of trouble, you know outside the ring and it just you know I just kept going with it.
It just boxes, like I said, saved my life to more than once.
I have a passion for it.
I love training, kids, helping people out it’s just it’s just a plus.
It really is so if, if you be so kind well, instead of fighting on the streets and getting getting in trouble for it, you know I mean I.
I had a lot of anger problems growing up.
Somebody said: well, you tried a tough man and see what you could do with your hands, and maybe you could you know, release some of this anger.
I started going to the gym signed up for one of these tough bands and and and that changed my life forever.
I guess you could say no, no more uh, no more uh people calling the cops on me, no more wow! So Paul you talk about how you help uh the kids explain us and talk about that, because that’s very, very important to us.
Yeah I mean people that are overweight, kids, people that have like discipline problems.
You know I I tell them bring their kids to my house, I train them for free, I don’t charge anybody I’ll set up little classes or my own personal time and uh.
I just you know I I’m like a mentor.
So it’s a lot.
A lot of people uh big influence to others and uh.
You know I’m just living the dream, telling people you know, no matter what just believe in your dreams and and don’t let anybody tell you, you know you can’t do something.
Yeah just keep keep pushing, keep believing no matter what you know.
Your obstacles are just just keep pushing through to make time out of your schedule, and then you said, you’re not even charging and that you’re a mentor.
That’S you’re making a powerful statement with these kids and we appreciate you.
Thank you thank you and I I yeah I enjoy doing it.
I I love giving back it’s very good, so Paul.
I wonder I want you to explain.
What’S the difference between fighting celebrity boxing fighting as a professional fighter and fighting it in the tough guy? Well, okay! Well, tough man! Tough man was probably the hardest out of all of them.
People with no experience at all.
They just use 16 ounce gloves they.
They they really they they try to hurt you.
They come at you with everything you know.
Once I got through that went pro it’s a little more organized.
You get the user skills a little bit more.
It’S it’s! It’S controlled by, you know, referees and it’s you know it was a lot of it was.
It was fun, it was fun and then celebrity boxing, which I did for the first time two weeks ago.
It was just the crowd experience.
It’S like WWE with boxing gloves.
Oh really, okay, yeah, it’s just the whole.
The whole atmosphere was on fire, wow, yep wow.
So I’m about to a title shot sometime this summer, so I’m probably gon na do one more and uh.
You know knock somebody’s head off.
Probably I would love to see that yeah, it’s going to be uh gon na, be a good show.
How did you have stuff and how did that come about uh? My old promoter, David Feldman, 23 years ago, saw me training again on my little video clips and he just told me he said: look man you’re in good shape.
You got ta got ta.
Do the celebrity boxing you got ta do one more for me.
I told him I would do it, it was like it was like the best thing that ever happened to me.
I sold like 250 tickets.
The crowd was so happy.
I mean it was just amazing yep everybody is the new.
Is the new boxing yeah yeah? You got Roy Jones, you got Roy Jones fighting next month, yeah he’s busy yeah that guy’s pretty ripped up and Andrew Champs his name.
If you ever heard of him yeah somebody, I think it’s a bodybuilder on YouTube, yeah yeah.
I see him all the time because uh anytime, he sees someone eating junk food.
We are always knocking out there.
Oh yeah yeah, I’m one Savage.
I can’t gain no more weight, I’m done at 170.
.
Let me ask you quality coming up, who are some of the fighters that you looked up to to you know kind of take from they style and become the fighter that you are today well, Oscar De La Hoya, I’ve always been a real big fan of his.
He had that awkward style.
He had one of the best left hooks in the business and and I kind of shied off for him.
With with that left hook, thing being right-handed and my best punches is left foot, it kind of confuses.
You know my opponent.
It makes them think that I’m fighting right-handed, but I’m actually left, but it’s actually the other way around wow.
That’S, what’s a little awkward, that’s why everybody had problems with Oscar.
He he was right-handed, but he had that left hook.
It’S like Marvin Hagler when um, because he could do the Orthodox and Southpaw yeah.
So so did you have any uh favorite heavy weights, the heavyweight? So I mean I’m trying to think heavyweights.
Yeah, that’s a whole nother Tyson, Fury, he’s uh.
I guess he’s the man right now.
You know I mean I don’t think anybody’s really going to outbox him at this moment, but uh and uh yeah, there’s just you know and the guy he beat three times wow.
I don’t think anybody can beat him.
Neither to be honest with you he’s got that one punch, that’ll just kill you yeah.
I already know who you got with the uh tank and uh Garcia fight man.
That’S that that’s going to be a fight that you just can’t miss.
I can tell you that right now I mean both great Fighters, both in their primes.
I mean, I think it’s going to be a history in the making.
I I guess you could say I like Garcia, he’s quick he’s fast, but but thanks to he he’s got that one shot that could just end it.
So so it’s fair to say that you go on with Garcia.
I, like myself, but, like I said, he’s I think, he’s faster if you could, if he could, if he could make it out of 12 rounds, I think he wins it other than that.
If, if tank catches him, it could end early, you never know so uh who you like, who you guys like? What do you think knockout or the distance man? I don’t know it’s hard right, yeah yeah.
But let me ask you a question, though Paul, would you have taken like a tune-up fight prior to a super fight like this, because Ryan he didn’t take a uh, a tune-up fight.
He just you know like I’m, not fighting until I fight you know what I’m saying.
Well, I mean his last fight was worse for what was what what Fortuna, what you, what you clearly knocked out.
He demonstrated you know what he can do, but uh he was.
He was, I mean, uh to me that that was probably his tune-up to me, man, that would that wasn’t even no fight man, yeah yeah, he destroyed him.
He destroyed him.
I’M not gon na.
Do that.
Okay, Paul! He was past his prime bro, like you know what I’m saying that just like that’s true, that’s true, that’s true, so this would be uh Ryan, Garcia’s, uh biggest test.
Let’S say this: this is it for for him.
So what do you think about and that everybody wanted to see yeah? That’S right! That’S going to be like that’s going to be another Pacquiao Mayweather fight right there, they’re gon na be like 45 when they fight each other yeah.
Hey did you watch the fight uh? Yesterday, uh Saturday, the Mexican monster, I don’t think he could be stopped right now, man really Canelo.
I don’t know canelo’s knocking him.
I think man, you think so away from him.
I think man I mean he wants.
Canelo Canelo seems not to be answering back, and that is true.
I think, if the I think, if that money right, you know what I’m saying anything: oh, they both got the money.
They got money right.
I know both of them got money, but I’m saying so at this point you know, I’m saying you didn’t know: yeah yeah, I don’t think another could kind of can afford another loss at this time.
Yeah I mean but uh, and then I got a little local guy, a friend of mine, Devin Garrett, he’s 2-0 he’s a middleweight he’s he’s fighting uh Newtown Pennsylvania.
Is it Southpaw? No he’s going to be a next Champion.
Watch out for him, Devin Gantt Devin is he’s 2-0.
Two Knockouts he’s he’s moving fast from uh he’s from Camden New Jersey.
He’S he’s he’s gon na be a top prospect before you know it.
Man, New Jersey’s on the map, New Jersey, it seems like New Jersey – is getting like Philadelphia, it’s right next door right over the bridge.
Yeah I mean I was a Philly fighter.
I was a jersey guy training to Phil.
He said I went to Philly every day to train.
There was a big difference in training wise too, from from Jersey of Philly.
It was a lot different yeah.
I heard.
What’S the difference Paul in Philly when you’re Spar you go For Broke, if you can’t win in Philly, then your miles will not even be in the ring in Jersey.
If you hurt somebody, they called too many timeouts, oh really, yeah.
It’S like controlled, more controlled in Jersey.
They don’t want nobody getting hurt the gym in Philadelphia than they are in any other parts of the world.
I mean.
Excuse me this country, yeah, is there.
I know Jersey, Jersey, starting before there was none.
None in Jersey.
Now, they’re starting to get more popular but uh Philly, affiliate, they’re they’re, just known for Fighters period.
You know, I mean Philly always got a bunch of guys coming out.
You know pretty strong Fighters, they don’t quit, there’s no quitting them guys.
I can tell you that yeah because they were always fighting before the pandemic, from what I was told.
They were always you got fights constantly like you got boots, yeah guys you guys heard in his boots right, yeah, yeah yeah.
I like him, he’s another guy.
What’S his record, what’s he now 27-0? 28? No, he ain’t got 140 147.
He they all he’s calling out everybody everybody’s scared of him too.
I’M like Devin Haney, since your top dog yeah.
Let’S, let’s get that get that one on too that’ll be a show too man.
You know now you know guys don’t want to lose man, so they picking and choosing who they want to fight, because you know what I’m saying you know Freud.
He he made a big uh.
You know a big emphasis on being the best, so if you don’t lose, then you consider it the best, but there was a couple of fights that I think should have went the other way with Floyd.
But that’s neither here.
They are yeah, yeah, probably the same ones, I’m thinking about too right, Castillo, Luis Castillo.
I thought he won that fight De La Hoya was probably a draw yeah.
That was a draw yeah Emoji had him hurt, but couldn’t finish him yeah, but but you know 100.
I agree 100.
If, if you can’t hit him, you can’t beat them can’t you know what I mean.
That’S exactly and I think in a way if a lot of Fighters would have adopted that early on in their career, they would be been able to sustain a little bit longer in their career.
You know what I mean because yeah yeah, absolutely I look at like really bold.
I mean it’s kind of like you know.
You know very you know when you talk it’s just kind of.
I think that’s from getting hit all the time.
I think I’m starting to get it too um.
So a lot of these boxers that you know was, you know, taking a lot of punishment.
I think you know what we’re starting to see now is that punishment catching up to him yeah yeah? It definitely takes a toll man.
I can tell you that from from experience it definitely uh.
You know a couple: headshots can definitely uh make you feel a little dizzy.
I mean.
So let me ask you a question Paul so like when it’s all said and done when it comes to boxing with you.
What do you want people to remember you, as in the boxing industry I mean I’m, I’m a straight coming off the street street fighter type of guy, I’m a brawler, I mean I I love to put on a show.
I don’t I don’t back down from nobody.
I can just like you’re talking about it.
I I I’m one of them guys that could take the hit to give a hit.
So I I I love to perform and I love to put a show on good and – and I I like I said it’s not a boring fight when I’m in that ring.
I can tell you that right now, so let me ask you another question Paul.
So, with the emergence of women coming into the boxing industry, where what’s your uh, you know outtake as it relates to the women coming into the sport of boxing on both sides.
No, I mean there’s some great female Champions that are all over man.
I know from.
I don’t know if you guys are in the bare knuckle boxing there’s one check.
I follow.
Uh Jamie driver she’s fighting for a championship coming up, she’s she’s, she’s, she’s she’s a pretty vicious little uh fighter there she’s getting ready to play.
I don’t know if it’s a London fight or one of them overseas fights but she’s she’s ready.
You know, I don’t know if you guys, you guys ever watch that bare knuckle now.
No, I actually.
This is kind of like the first time that I ever you know tapped into this.
You know what I mean yeah I mean yeah, it’s it’s pretty it’s getting it’s getting more and more popular, just like celebrity boxes, it’s just it’s growing.
It’S just growing, but female.
Boxers they got.
I just watching a special uh on that that that Spanish girl that she’s been fighting since she was like five years old she’s.
I think she’s Mexican uh, you know but she’s she’s taken over.
I don’t know, I don’t know what weight she was, but she’s definitely uh a fighter.
Now.
Are you talking about him bare Knuckles or talking about boxing? Well boxing boxing in general? There’S some there’s some tough females out there Philly’s got quite a few.
You know what that might that might be the one.
Was she on the news or something that is my girl right there yeah.
I, I think, that’s exactly what I’m talking about she’s she could she had a girl out in less than a minute.
It was just crazy, yeah she she, I love Amanda.
I do that.
That’S right, she’s, fast and accurate, because she’s good, like she as ding she’s, just already doing it’s not changed.
Of course, she’s got you’re, always gon na get better, but what I’m saying is like she, it seems like she don’t get tired at all, but if uh yeah there’s no there’s no quit in that girl period, I don’t think there’s no equipment fights in her blood.
It’S in her head, yeah she’s she’s not going to quit yeah female.
Yes, the females.
I’D like to see more and more come out.
It’S great! I think it’s great.
I mean I have nothing against it.
You know I mean it’s, it’s it’s outstanding.
So what do you think about Clarissa Shields? You know her and Savannah.
I don’t think they’re fighting or Natasha are they? Are they in different weight classes? Yeah, I mean I mean, there’s a lot of different way: clay females.
I just I just started really following him.
Like like just like the other day, I guess but uh, they need to televise them a little bit more.
I think I mean you know what Paul want to ask you a question right: cuz man, my wife.

That’S all that I’m saying calm down, I’m saying yeah when I don’t want nobody putting no hands on my wife.

We like we support it.
Oh yeah yeah y’all, just just from being in it one time I I I’m like it was like the one of the best things ever happened to me.
It was great, it was.
Let me put it this way.
It was one of the funnest fights I ever had yep.
They use 24 ounce gloves they use big gloves, so you so it’s they get real heavy fast 24 ounce gloves yeah they’re, pretty big.
So I mean it’s like it’s like.
It’S like, like a like a pillow fight, [ Laughter ], oh man, oh man, man, hey, hey man.
You hit somebody with that 24 yeah.
You hit somebody with that 24 boy.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep.
It’S a nice shot! It’S fun, though.
It’S fun, though, so how many rounds is it? It’S? It’S it’s uh.
They do three one minute rounds, you know and if, if it’s a championship fight, then it’s like three two minute rounds.
So it goes quick.
So you got ta, you got a pretty.
You got ta, you know one minute, you got ta score fast, uh! That’S why I turn it into a bra.
I don’t box, even though I can’t box, I just I just want to score quick and fight yeah, yeah yeah, so um so have there been any other states that you travel to to uh? You know, do any type of sparring yeah! Well, I’ve been to Delaware.
I’Ve I’ve won uh, tough man, uh titles in Delaware, New Jersey and Philadelphia.
It’S not like a little little Tri-State Champion.
I guess you want to call it man, that’s! So let me ask you a question man, because, because uh boxing in in the celebrity boxing was you know something that you know was a great experience.
So what has changed uh since you uh? Did that boxing event? Oh, I got.
I probably got a thousand new friends yeah, I mean not not because not number good stuff to come out of it.
You know I mean my my job.
I work for Pepsi or all the guys came out for the first time uh, my kids.
I have three three kids that were able to see me fight for the very first time, which was a great experience they loved it.
I had my 21 year old corned me for the first time my I got twins a girl and a boy that are uh.
They just turned nine and they were there.
They were so excited so happy I mean it was just.
It was just great experience.
Look at the pictures on the picture speak for itself.
I mean it’s.
It was a great night, man wow.
So what did you do? After the fight uh, I got in trouble by my wife.
Of course I mean yeah.
It was Atlantic City, so it was like four in the morning.
I’M still partying she’s like it’s time to go so but other than that yeah we just I I I I hang out with all the crowd.
I I drank one of my party with them.
I I just socialized, like with everybody that comes out.
It’S just great man.
I could tell Paul that, like this was a real big thing for you, like you really enjoyed yourself.
Oh it was.
It was probably one of the greatest nights of my life to be honest with you, it really was.
It was like, what’s that, how long have you been married? I’Ve been married.
I’Ve been married for nine years, we’ve been together for 16.
, oh wow, all that she was actually my high school sweetheart, oh for real yeah.
I was with her three years.
I was with her three years in high school and then if we found each other, I was a single mom.
She was a single dad.
15 years later we got back together and then we started.
You know our own family together.
So it worked out worked out.
Man, that’s what’s up man yeah man! Thank you.
I like that.
I like that yeah, it’s a good little Story.
I mean man.
So so did you hear her screaming your name when you was in the ring all right? I think she grabbed my leg.
A few times in the corner telling me Oh man, I mean I had about 20 people in my corner.
Every time I went to the corner, it went three rounds, it went the distance, but she had she had a good night.
She had a good night.
All right, so let me ask you a question: are you going to introduce the sport of boxing to your son or your daughter, yeah yeah.
That’S another thing that now that they saw me fight my nine-year-old’s gon na sign up pretty soon for for uh boxing.
My 21, my 21 year old uh, he he’s ready to get involved.
I I definitely uh influenced quite a few people.
Wow wow yeah.
That’S that’s! That’S that’s my goal.
It influence people for the better.
You know what Paul I really believed, like man with your passion and knowledge and your toughness bruh.
I I really think you can do something special with your kids man, oh yeah.
Without doubt, I’m I’m I’m off for kids, man, 100 and and whatever you know, I’m like I said, I’m I’m a daddy’s, my my daughter, I’m on my dad.
You know they love their dad.
You know I mean that’s what I could really say.
I’D do anything for him and uh.
That’S all.
I could really say about my kids I’ll, do anything for him, man! That’S! What’S up man, um um, tell us something that tell us something about Paul that you just want everybody to know.
That’S good! Uh! Let’S see, I guess everybody about Paul uh, I’m gon na fight for the title of the summertime.
Please come out come check me out because it’s going to be a war for sure and I’m gon na come out Victorious and I believe that I believe that man – listen, I’m not listen.
I put my money on you say, listen Paul! I wanted to ask you.
Man just came back to me so when you saw this fight last weekend, um this Saturday, this past Saturday right.
Do you think that uh? What’S his name? No, I was so disappointed.
So so, like do you think plant was in in his Peak condition to fight that fight, because to me it seemed like he just gassed out.
I guess, according to stat wise, I think he won the first six rounds and I I think he gave it his all and just you know I mean he’s fighting a stronger guy, a bigger guy harder hitting guy.
I I think he just I’m not saying he lost his confidence, but he just I don’t think he realized he couldn’t hurt this guy and just try to just, in other words, survive the next six rounds, uh.
Okay, so it’s my opinion, like obviously once you’re in the ring it’s hard to say you know what you’re actually going through, how how bad you’re hurting, if you got hurt, did you hurt your hand? I mean there could have been anything okay, yeah.
I mean okay man.
That was a good analogy.
I like that yeah, let’s show the other guy in that corner.
You don’t know.
What’S going on, you know I mean it could be like you know exactly what I just said it could.
It could be multiple issues or mental.
You got to be mentally ready.
He was, he wasn’t scared, but he I I thought it was a good fight, but the the better guy won.
I mean the stronger guy one in my eyes, wow.
So now, who do you think that uh, how you said being in this? What’S his name yeah, I think so I had the heart of it: benevitas yup yeah, I I I I I I I think his day is his next and biggest fight should be Canelo.
Should be canola, I don’t I don’t know man I think I think Canelo might be.
I think so.
I think you’re right respectfully, because I do got a lot of respect for Canelo.
I really like it.
Yeah he’s fought his canelli’s he’s, never really ducked anybody.
I don’t think but uh he might be ducking this one.
So let me ask you one more question.
Well, I got two more but one of the ones and she was about you know um Adrian Broner, right uh.
He has signed with Don King um.
I you know what I really think Adrian Broner is a very good fighter now the Antics and some of the other things that he got himself into you know I look at his from the standpoint of that was his learning curve like those lessons in life that Taught him how to be the person he is today.
He had to lose this to gain that, and sometimes when you come from nothing and and you get a lot of money, it’s hard to tell a person something so sometimes life got you know get you know.
Some of them things got to be snatched away from you in order for you to wake up and listen to what God’s trying to tell you so man.
What’S your outtake on Adrian Broner right now, yeah yeah, I mean just like we said I mean uh.
You know get a little bit of money and it changes you could change it, probably mentally physically.
He got overweight out of shape and it just he was he was.
He was a real good fight.
I thought he was going to be a world champion.
I’M sure he’s won a title or two, but I thought he would have had a a better career, because if it’s uh, you know he was he was he was to me he was.
He was a great fire.
I was just you know out things outside outside the god of in trouble.
You know, I mean got him, got him got him, you know messed up but uh.
Let me ask you a question: how does that come into play? Um I mean 100.
You got to be mentally ready.
100, that’s like if you’re, not right, you shouldn’t be in that ring.
That’S all I could say so.
I’M kind of like wondering too.
I could see it happen.
Okay, so you’re on top of the world and you’re when you’re a champion – and you have all this money – and I know money is not everything I get it, but how? How do the boxers actually break down and just come out and say you know what I’m I’m depressed and you know what I I suffered it for years.
I’M not gon na lie.
I I I haven’t been in a ring for 17 years.
Uh.
Your first loss is a terrible feeling and it kind of like haunts you.
Sometimes you don’t sleep at night, you think about it.
What you could have did before the fight uh.
You know there’s a lot of like what ifs I mean.
So it’s it’s like.
It’S happened, I guess every every boxer.
I guess that lost the fight goes through it.
If you haven’t lost – and I guess you’ve never been through it.
So, okay yeah, it’s uh, yeah, losing it losing a fun.
I guess not so, but now you guys you got to be mentally physically and mentally.
You got ta got to be there.
You got ta, be on the same page.
You could be 100 physical and not ready mentally um yeah.
I do too.
I agree.
I do too so Paul.
Do you like the peekaboo Style huh I mean we, we personally, that’s that’s our favorite, I’m a bro, I’m like uh, Jake LaMotta, That’s My Style! That’S that that’s! If you ever watch his fights, I kind of just I’m a forward fighter.
I take the history to give mine back, it’s just hit it hit and get it get hit.
It doesn’t matter I just I just you know I brought man, I I bring it.
I’M like the record of my organ with heavy hands.
Okay, okay, so look man! So when you train, I mean like give us some type of you know.
Inside of your training, when you are preparing for a fight, I mean I mean these three women like three women around us.
I I train like four to five three minute rounds to make sure I could definitely go one minute.
You know I mean so I I train you know I do everything by minutes, I train in minutes.
I train him rounds.
I go a little longer a little more each time.
So do you do a lot of jump rope? Do you do weights? Do you do a lot of calories, yeah yeah? I I just yeah I I do.
I do a lot of Rhythm bags.
I I do squats with light weights.
I lift a lot yeah, I shadow box with two pound weights.
I do I do.
I do hundreds and hundreds of push-ups, I do sit-ups jump rope and I do a lot.
I do a lot of jumping jacks for for minutes.
I set a timer up I’ll.
Do like four sets of jumping jacks for two minutes jump rope for two minutes for four rounds.
It’S just yeah everything’s based on you know, time wise.
I guess sit-ups I just don’t today hurt I I don’t care I just keep doing today.
So that’s probably what I need to start doing now: yeah until they hurt yeah.
Do you have a specific diet? Yeah yeah, I I I I I I whether whether I fire them not for you know, I’m there I’m allergic to Dairy, I’m a dairy free guy.
I I I eat a lot of like I mean plant-based Foods.
