The last person that told me that, it ain't too good for him. Tell you that much. How important is it for you to be back, though? Some real shit. Some real shit. Because it was just dark a few months ago. And now the light is back. Y'all see everybody right there hanging up there? Absolutely. Shout out to DV3. The men in black. Even the ones with the cameras right here. I'm happy to be back. All jokes aside, it's been a long time coming, man. I linked up with one of the best men in the culture. You know what I'm saying? Now, shit, we kicking down doors. He got me on this car. I'm going to show him why. I'm D-Amazing, you know? Why did you change your name? I had to change everything, man. Like, real talk. I was talking to God, like, for real. Like, talking to God. He the one that got me back here. After my homeboy died, Kyrie, I was just lost. And I'm just like, man, God, just replace something that just can bring me out of this. And the boxing was just in my spirit, bro. So I just got back to boxing, bro. And one thing led to another. One idea led to another. You know what I'm saying? Shit, we here. Me and DB3, we here. Sometimes you get a minor setback for a major comeback, though. Yeah. You know what I mean? So now you are over here with the guy. Yeah. How does it feel? You doing a co-main event with your man, Shakur? Yeah. How it feel, man? It feel amazing, bro. New York City, man. Big lights. It feel amazing, bro. Like, people don't really know, but I've been rocking with Jace since, like, 2020. I've been knowing Jace, you know what I'm saying? We just never put it, you know, into business play. But now we're playing with the business and shit. We having fun there since, god damn. We've been playing with this business, you know what I'm saying? And the best thing about it is, too, I came in with my brothers, too. Like, me and my brothers, you know what I'm saying, back in the X, we got something in motion, too, after I'm finished fighting. You know what I'm saying? Also, my coach has been knowing me since I was a kid. Right. You know what I'm saying? So I'm back with, like, family, like, legitimate family. You know what I'm saying? So that just makes it even more better for me, like, more comfortable, I would say. Absolutely. Do you think Jermaine is your artist's opponent today? Shit, I don't know. I say one of my hardest opponents to this day was Miguel Meduino, a Mexican. Right after I fought, Bud was like, yo, you know that nigga was on steroids, right? I'm like, damn, where? I went to Shakur because Shakur was about to main event. Nigga said, you know that nigga was on steroids, right? I'm like, damn, I fought a nigga on steroids? When I went back and watched the fight, I seen exactly what they was talking about. Eyes wide and shit. I'm punching him. He just walking to me like a Terminator, punching hard as shit for 10 rounds. You know what I'm saying? Non-stop. His best round was the 10th round. It was crazy. So, like, to this day, I gave Miguel Meduino his heart. That was my hardest fight for sure. So, I don't think, you know, Jermaine Owen, well, I'm on. You know what I'm saying? Because I won that fight. So, I don't think he on when I'm on. Period. Let me ask you a question. When you was going through some dark moments some months ago, Did you think that you was going to bounce back like this? Man, honestly, when I was going through no moments, man, I wasn't even thinking about bouncing back. I didn't care about boxing. I left everything behind. I was like, I'm done. I'm done. I'm about some 18-winter trucks. Me and my brother's politicking on the phone, how we are going to bounce back. But we won't talk about boxing. You know what I'm saying? It really wasn't until my brother Kyrie died when I was like, yo, I didn't hit a real brick wall for real life. You know what I'm saying? It was just life. And so once God put that in my spirit, I'm like, yo, I'm going to bounce back and everything going to be different. Everything going to change. You know what I'm saying? Because it just had to be a purpose now. You know what I'm saying? I'm really fighting for something for real. Absolutely. But shit, man, we just want to, you know, show you some love and wish you the best for this Saturday. I appreciate you. You know, we know you're going to be amazing. Yeah, I appreciate you. Come on, man. Where the brothers at, man? Show y'all some love, man. I've been DMG, brother, too. I don't want to spar me. You know what I mean? And while we on this camera, I'm going to say this while we on this camera. This is the GOAT right here of boxing. Right here. I doubted him sometimes, too. That motherfucker, he corrected me every time. This is the GOAT of fucking boxing. Three-time undisputed. I don't even know if anybody ever been two-time, huh? No. I'm the only one. Ain't nobody been two-time? Well, it's three-time. So all that Buddha goat shit that all that shit go out the window man. This is the goat right here. You know what I mean? You cannot stop accomplishments man. When you got all the belts. This nigga just got 15 belts at the crib just in three divisions alone. Just sitting at the crib like. Like no I was the king of that division. The king of that division and the king of that division. It don't get no better than that. So I'm going on record right now. That's the fucking goat right there. All right? And it ain't even 40, I don't think. Damn. You know how hard it is to be the goat in your 30s? I'm going to go to 101, too. Where the fuck you want to go? It's another motherfucking goat. Go to independent music. You hear me? He the reason. Motherfucking cash money and all these labels wanted to be like. That's the reason. You hear me? right there. Just throw that out there because they on camera just in case you young niggas don't be understanding. Y'all see Jay now. He be smooth with it.

He was just throwing some crazy wild shit out there. You gotta understand, you don't play mother games. There's certain games you just don't play.

The version y'all gonna see is the best version of me I'm coming in there and like I said, I put in so much work. Like, y'all don't understand. Like, I stay consistent. I spend time away from my daughter. I spend time away from my mother. I spend time away from my shorty. So everything that I did is going to come out on fight night. And that's why I'm just trying to right now stay calm, stay cool. On fight night, I'm going to let it all out. What's the importance of having a great team to get you here? People like Jay Prince, people like your grandfather. What's the importance of that? I think that means everything. It means everything. You got to have a great team around you. One man can't do everything by himself. So I feel like with them, with their help, and other things that I need during training camp, they keep me kind of like on point. So I think it means everything. I think any great successful people got to have a great team around them. What do your hometown mean to you? What do it mean? I love my city. I love my city. My city is the reason why I am who I am today. So they come out, support me. Without my city, I wouldn't be this person. So it's like, I'm really from the trenches. I'm really, really from the gutter. If you know Newark, New Jersey, you know. So even like right now, I don't explain that to people throughout my career all the time. But now I'm like past that. I'm at the point where it's like I care about the next generation and the youngins that's coming up in the similar situations I came up in, and I want to make sure that they're straight. Even right now, that's why I done bought 300 tickets to the fight. But this is the first time it's been publicized. I've been doing that for a long time. I love my city. I appreciate my city. Like I said, my focus is on the next generation. Even though you're going somewhere far, why is this important not to forget where you come from? because that's who made you. You can't forget where it all started. You wouldn't be in this position where you're on top of the world and you're winning without that happening. That was the beginning. That was where I was born and raised since a little child. So for me, like I said, I'm glad to be in this situation, but without them, I wouldn't be here. How's fatherhood, man?

A lot of people complain about, you know, boxing and where it's going, where it's not going, because you've got so many other events outside of traditional boxing. How do it feel to be a part of a major event that's going to put the respect, you know, the respect back on boxing as necessary? Shout out to my big brother, Bud Crawford. He fighting in them big fights, and he kind of opened the doors for boxing to become what it is now. And now I'm in a similar situation to where I can follow his footsteps and do some of the things that he did and show myself in my type of way. So I'm just glad boxing is getting to the point where we've seen the best fight the best. And it good that it at young ages like me and Tio is 28 28 So it amazing Seeing Bud jump up realistically three weight classes Yeah. Did that have any bearing on you saying, because you just really got to 135. Yeah. And you ain't even cleaned that out yet, but you're like, you know what, I'm going up to 140 to get that belt. Did that have any bearing on you? Like, yeah, I just seen Bud go up three weight classes. I'm only going to go up one. And you can still go back down if you want. You know what's crazy? I remember talking to my girl right before he fought Canelo. I'm like, yo, this dude is the craziest dude I ever met in my life. Like, for him to go up that many weight classes and do that, it definitely was, like, inspirational. And it inspired me to want to be able to make the moves that I'm making. But like I said, still to this day, I'm like, yo, this dude is insane. Yeah, that's what makes him a good. Because like anybody that I ever seen skip over one weight class and go to the next, they pay for that shit dearly. For sure. Adrian Bono was walking out there motherfucker like this. And that's my man. You ain't think he could do it. Kel broke shit. He broke his whole fucking face. So when I'm like. You ain't think he could do it. What you mean? You ain't think he could beat Canelo. No, I was skeptical. I'm broke. Don't just say it. No, no, no. Don't get out here. I bet my money on Terrence Crawford. I bet him. You did? Okay. Because he said, I had to send him my bet ticket. Hold up, nigga. I bet the money on you, my nigga. I just never seen this happen. I won $10,000. I won $10,000. That wasn't good enough for me. Baby, go get a bag on Terrence. He did his thing. I got a question, Gilly. I never seen nobody jump up three-way classes, bro. He got a question for you. Think about it. You going from fighting. Yeah, I'm about to answer it. But you going from fighting, motherfuckers, y'all weighing at 147. The night of the fight, niggas might be 163 or something. Now you fighting a motherfucker that weighing at 168. Then the night of the fight, he 192 and shit coming in. Bro, I never seen it happen. But that's the inspiration right there. That's why I just asked you. That size don't matter It's skills that matters At the end of the day So No size matter He's just different Some niggas Is just different bro Skill When you skillful enough To do it You can do it But A bigger motherfucker Just punching you On your shoulders bro You okay You okay What's the question Where did you get that from I wanna ask you What The bigger man always Beat the little man Cause I'm gonna tell you What I told you Hold up hold up Fuck that Fuck that And you've never seen that done before when you have. You're just not paying attention. No, I never said I've never seen a smaller guy beat a bigger guy. I said I've never seen a guy go up three weight classes. No. I've never seen that. We can pull it up. Who won up three weight classes? You said you've never seen the great smaller guy beat the great big guy. And you have. I mean, you talk about one weight class. You talk about Floyd over Canelo. Or you talking about... Thank you. Thank you. I'm talking about... But we not talking about three weight classes. You said you never seen that happen. Yes, three weight classes. I always said that. You jumping three weight classes. The heavyweight, Usy going up the heavyweight. Roy Jones Jr. fought a bum when he got the heavyweight, man. Stop that shit, man. I was around, man. He fought a fucking bum at heavyweight. The Mexican boy that was all... And that shit was impressive. How many pounds Fury I weigh Usy? At least 60. No, but once you get over two teams, you know that shit don't matter, nigga. No, but once you get over two teams, that nigga, that shit don't matter, nigga. He called me because he asked me sports. I don't be knowing nothing about sports. Skills pay their bills in any sport. But this is what he asked me because I be giving him wins on tickets on sports and shit, and I don't even know. He just asked, Walo, what team? I don't know where I'm under, and I just say some shit. He called me about you. He said, damn, who going to win the fight? I said, so what did you ask me? He asked me about you and Canel. He said, man, him and Canel. I said, yeah, I remember Canelo. He said, bud. He said, wow, he been through too much shit. That was it. That was it. It was it. To me, it's like, when you come from where we come from, sometimes. To me, that didn't make no sense. It makes sense. That nigga grew up in Mexico with new shoes. No, no, no. It's different. That's not true, though. It's different. That's not true. See? Like, when you look at Canelo, he's been the star since he was a little fucking kid. 15. 16. Before 15. That's why he turned pro at 15. Everybody already put in all the money and everything into Canelo. That's why he turned pro at 15. Because everybody's like, you're going to be a star. Let's turn you pro. Why are you trying to downgrade your greatness? I don't downgrade nothing. Yes, you do. You just tried to downgrade it. You said you've never seen it before. I didn't, nigga. I ain't seen it to you, nigga. I ain't never seen nobody jump up three-week class. Why would you just so focus on your career? Because that first time when we did your first interview, you was like, wow, hopefully you don't be doing this You're like, come on, man. You got to do this shit. This is a part of the game Oh, my fault. Dog, damn. I didn't know I was that strong Yeah, a little body shot So that joint, that joint Nah, it ain't hurt me I'm just letting him know So he'll do this shit again Oh, if I do it again, you gonna hit Gil? Stop that dumb shit I want you to hit that nigga, please Please, listen, I didn't know I was that strong But no I'm for real. No, because, no, but the only reason I'm asking you that is because it was like you was more focused on the sport, doing your job, and that didn't matter. And then you just came alive. I'm just me. I don't got to act the same way or act like everybody else to get attention. I'm me, whether I'm in the ring or not. Like, what you see is what you get. Like, ain't nobody going to tell you all that and they're acting different. None of that, no. He's the same way since he was a little kid. You know what I mean? And that's just it. I perform in the ring. You know, a lot of people, they do all the talking outside the ring and all that. Talk about what they're going to do and all that. They ain't going to do nothing. Because when they get in the ring with a person that really about that, then it's different. I need to know something. You do what you're doing in that ring. Not on that court, though. But, uh, she called, though. He keeps saying he picked. He got MVP. He didn't catch. He got a better team. He had 30 points, man. I'm saying that. Damn, he had 30 points. Oh my grandma you have Oh that's a 101 I wasn't there You wanna bet? That was in Vegas I gotta cut my fucking hand off I had three points We'll cut both of them bitches off You wanna bet? Three points man It's on camera Ask your cameraman He got it You pull up some shit with me Three points you're fired Niggas I don't know you're not Kev Fuck him Kev I got you I got you Kev Don't worry about me Baby see editing the clips Get good editing No but for real though Saturday night It's going down man We just wanna We wanna salute you And not shoot you I congratulate you, man, for being at one of them ones. Do you feel like it's finally here? Y'all finally, all the recognition that y'all been denying me, all the times y'all been putting dudes at the pound-for-pound list, and I'm looking up and I'm down here and shit, and then sometimes y'all even had a nigga in an honorable mention section where I ain't making, I'm damn near right there, but I know I'm better than these motherfuckers right here. Is this the fight right here That's like Now y'all gonna witness the greatness It's crazy though Like I feel like I'm like Past that Like I used to care so much about like Being accepted by the fans The public And Honestly I think for me now Like Now that it's here I'm over that shit Like I'm more so At a point where it's like I care about how my family My friends And the people surrounding me feel about me and that's what's gonna matter the most come Sunday, the next day after I win. So the fans, the public, everybody could talk and say whatever they feel. But they always gonna hate you. They never gonna not hate you. Never gonna be enough. Long as you winning, you gonna be hated. So at the end of the day, they respect and what they think don't matter to me. It's more so, like I said, the people that surrounded me. That's what's up we did it together his eyes listen, man. I just want to tell y'all brothers wish y'all the best of luck before I Don't I Gotta fucking reach You Stop My game You came down to Philly He came down to Philly. He came down to Philly.
