If he comes to fight – or he wants to fox, i can deliver that smoke either way.
The ao arena has to be one of the most exciting venues to fight in i love manchester.
I get shown a lot of support up in manchester.
It’S a fighting city.
I bring dan, i bring the entertainment every time i fight and i can’t wait for april 16th and we all look forward to conor bend taking on van gierden uh in manchester.
As i said april 16.
, let’s move on to a different type of story.
In the sense of uh, what happens after your boxing career is over four time two division world champion brian also known as hawaiian punch valoria, is enjoying his next chapter of his life following his hall of fame caliber boxing career as an elite trainer based in the Brickhouse boxing club in north hollywood, california, shortly after his last fight back in 2018, valoria decided to start working as a trainer at the wild card.
West now churchill gym in santa monica must be nice, california, where he started developing his training skills working in the same gym as freddie roach, robert roberto, garcia and joe goosen.
He says i was able to pick and choose from those coaches to create my own style.
I knew that i wanted to be a trainer, because i had a lot of knowledge and experience.
I could pass along to the next generation of fighters.
I took off the gloves and put on the mitts.
I slowly built up my skills at wild card west with julian chua a head trainer of 30-0 gilberto zurdo ramirez.
It was an easy transition for me.
It does take time to break down a fighter to find out how they like to receive information, because everybody is different, some like to read books, others like watching they need to have fun too.
I want them to love the experience and the craft.
How valoria ended up at brick house was a little unusual and, of course, the pandora played a significant role in that respect.
Prior to the pandemic, brian had learned zerto and his manager david xu were going to open up a gym.
He says they asked if i was interested in moving to las vegas and then the pandemic came two years later.
In 2021, david called me saying they had found a spot in north hollywood.
It was a lot closer for me than santa monica.
I had only.
I only lived eight to ten minutes away from the gym the brick house he’s talking about and i still train one or two fighters at churchill.
My main state.
My mainstay, though, is brick house, i’m so close.
I can go home and take a nap between training sessions.
I want to create a brand from scratch alongside julian, to hone my skills as a trainer.
I like communicating with people it’s a collaborative effort at brick house, no disconnects all the trainers communicate between themselves.
Just because i want four world titles doesn’t outweigh the other coaches.
We are coaching.
We are coaching staff at brickhouse, where everybody in where everybody’s input goes into making the consensus on fighters decisions.
The biggest thing is we’re creating space at brick house.
We all check our egos at the door, it isn’t about the trainers, it’s about the fighters.
Learning more.
It’S about fighters, it’s about fighters, not who’s at the helm of the coaches.
I love working on the coaching staff here, we’re all making a name for ourselves as trainers by being on on the brick house, staff, glorious, deloria trains, kem champ, kilik who’s 15 and one with 10 knockouts and carlos nava who’s 6-0, with three knockouts.
Both fighters are in the three-point management stable, which also manages zerto the former world super middleweight champion, and today a top-ranked world light heavyweight contender.
Turkish super middleweight kalec headlines, a march 17th card against andrew hernandez in an eight-round bout at the quiet cannon country club in montebello california, the 27 year old kellogg is living the american dream.
Having moved from germany to the united states to enhance his pro-boxing career.
Valeria noted he has great power and plenty of gas in a tank.
He just needs to work on his defense instead of sitting in the pocket throwing punches and getting hit too much great advice.
