I don't get paid for overtime. 00:02:36.063 --> 00:02:40.843 Right, right. All right, you're going to be facing the winner of Bermaine Stavarn 00:02:40.843 --> 00:02:43.443 versus Areola. Who do you think will win that fight? 00:02:44.603 --> 00:02:48.483 I honestly have no idea. You know, both of them have strength and weaknesses. 00:02:49.063 --> 00:02:54.703 I do feel that out of those stricken weaknesses, whichever fight, 00:02:54.823 --> 00:02:59.603 whichever fighter execute that their opponent weakness will win. 00:02:59.783 --> 00:03:03.383 You know, it's going to be all determine who's the who's the better man that 00:03:03.383 --> 00:03:07.783 night, who's in the who's in the shape, who's who's come to fight. 00:03:07.963 --> 00:03:12.843 And I also may add in who's who want to face me, who really want to face me 00:03:12.843 --> 00:03:18.663 when it's all said and done, because they both know after whoever be victorious. 00:03:18.663 --> 00:03:23.243 After this they will have to fight me so we'll see who really want to fight me as well too so, 00:03:24.003 --> 00:03:30.003 So it's going to be good. I just can't wait. You know, I'll definitely be there front row and center. 00:03:30.603 --> 00:03:35.323 And to whacking them, to whacking them on, to whoever beat Victoria. 00:03:35.563 --> 00:03:37.363 So, you know, maybe the best man wins for me. 00:03:38.743 --> 00:03:42.183 Do you have a preference on who you'd rather fight? That doesn't matter either. 00:03:42.343 --> 00:03:46.163 I definitely feel both are made for my style. 00:03:46.603 --> 00:03:51.543 You know, I don't feel threatened by neither are. 00:03:52.383 --> 00:03:56.303 And, you know, no matter what, whoever wins, you know, that belt going home 00:03:56.303 --> 00:03:59.663 at the end of the day and going back home to Tuscaloosa, Alabama. 00:04:00.123 --> 00:04:03.043 And knew that way Trevor were Deontay Wild. 00:04:03.763 --> 00:04:08.683 I agree with you. I think whoever wins that fight, you're going to beat them quite easily. 00:04:08.843 --> 00:04:16.203 I mean, just to be honest with you, if that happens, if you go on to beat them, whoever wins, 00:04:17.163 --> 00:04:21.683 will you be looking to get a unification fight with Vladimir Klitschko or would 00:04:21.683 --> 00:04:24.403 you rather face someone like Tyson Fury before him? 00:04:26.563 --> 00:04:32.043 Well, as the WBC has it, after I claim victory and take on the belt, 00:04:32.323 --> 00:04:39.063 I would have to face the winner of Mike Perez and Brian Jennings. 00:04:40.383 --> 00:04:44.303 But after that, which I would beat both of them as well to

either or. 00:04:45.083 --> 00:04:49.263 And after that, then we're going to see where we want to go. 00:04:49.263 --> 00:04:52.223 So I wouldn't mind defending it a couple of times, you know, 00:04:52.303 --> 00:04:56.923 against whoever, the Fiery's going to get him out of the way, you know, 00:04:57.603 --> 00:05:02.103 Tessouris, all those guys, whoever's at the top, going to get him out of the 00:05:02.103 --> 00:05:07.043 way and then go unify all the belts in the division. I take on the world then. 00:05:07.907 --> 00:05:11.547 Now, you've had a couple of words with Tyson Sherry. What do you think about him? 00:05:12.927 --> 00:05:18.367 Personally, you know, to hold all Phyllis' eyes as far as a fighter and what 00:05:18.367 --> 00:05:21.427 I want to do in the ring with him, you know, 00:05:22.307 --> 00:05:26.207 personally as a fighter, as a human being, I think he's a good guy. 00:05:26.447 --> 00:05:28.387 You know, he's entertaining. 00:05:28.707 --> 00:05:32.767 You know, he's definitely holding his end down on the U.K. 00:05:32.947 --> 00:05:40.147 Side as well as I on the American side. So, you know, he's doing what he's doing, and he's doing it good. 00:05:40.967 --> 00:05:42.687 I really think he's a good guy. 00:05:43.847 --> 00:05:48.987 But I can't wait till we meet in the ring, and we'll see who's the best man 00:05:48.987 --> 00:05:50.287 from both sides of the pond. 00:05:50.427 --> 00:05:55.607 It's a fight that all the fans want to see. All the fans want to see this fight. 00:05:56.067 --> 00:06:00.047 And I can't wait till the opportunity comes, that it presents itself. 00:06:00.167 --> 00:06:02.947 I think it's going to be a thrilling fight. 00:06:03.207 --> 00:06:06.247 It's going to be a exciting fight. and definitely somebody was going to get 00:06:06.247 --> 00:06:10.367 knocked out. And I tell you right now, it's not going to be me. 00:06:12.267 --> 00:06:15.787 Now, down the line, you know, like you said, once you get a lot of these opponents 00:06:15.787 --> 00:06:20.527 out of the way, what would you do differently than all the opponents that Klitschko 00:06:20.527 --> 00:06:23.147 has faced that would help you defeat him? 00:06:23.187 --> 00:06:27.407 Because he just basically is toying with a lot of these opponents that he faces. 00:06:27.627 --> 00:06:30.487 They don't have the talent you have. They don't have the reach. 00:06:30.507 --> 00:06:31.287 They don't have the power. 00:06:31.807 --> 00:06:36.307 What would you do differently? because you would be the most dangerous opponent 00:06:36.307 --> 00:06:38.847 that he's faced in probably years. 00:06:39.047 --> 00:06:45.087 Well, I honestly feel that. I don't think he toys with him. 00:06:45.487 --> 00:06:53.527 You know, I feel that he is, you know, he's really – I don't want to give away the secret, you know. 00:06:53.907 --> 00:06:57.667 He's not touring with him. He's not touring with him at all. 00:06:57.667 --> 00:07:02.247 He's doing something that he doesn't want to give up, and I know what it is, and I'm not, you know. 00:07:03.007 --> 00:07:08.807 I won't even win a secret, but he's definitely not torn. 00:07:09.636 --> 00:07:15.456 All right. Well, when we fight, I will expose that weakness. 00:07:15.636 --> 00:07:19.716 I will expose that secret when we fight because I definitely bring a lot more 00:07:19.716 --> 00:07:25.056 than what any fighter that he's ever faced to the ring with my speed, 00:07:25.236 --> 00:07:30.196 with my athleticism, with my power. So all three of those together, man. 00:07:32.756 --> 00:07:35.756 I'm like, well, you've just seen it. Third one in the third one knockout. 00:07:35.976 --> 00:07:37.236 Bomb squad. Come on, baby. 00:07:38.656 --> 00:07:42.636 And you know he's not going to be able to he's not going to be able to push 00:07:42.636 --> 00:07:45.796 down on you all night like he does with a lot of shorter opponents because you're 00:07:45.796 --> 00:07:49.596 you're a tall guy you're a strong guy so you'll be able to push right back up 00:07:49.596 --> 00:07:51.356 on him you might you might be doing that to him. 00:07:52.396 --> 00:07:55.616 Definitely definitely definitely you know i'm definitely i'm a competitive guy 00:07:55.616 --> 00:07:59.156 so i feel like whatever you do to me i would do to you you 00:07:59.156 --> 00:08:02.116 know and made a made a battle begin you know 00:08:02.116 --> 00:08:05.856 but but definitely any any fighter that's he won't 00:08:05.856 --> 00:08:08.856 be able to do that to no no tall fighter that's 00:08:08.856 --> 00:08:11.596 i level to him uh as far as 00:08:11.596 --> 00:08:14.456 the leaning and stuff like that you know unless they did 00:08:14.456 --> 00:08:17.256 he just kissed him going under or something like that then he 00:08:17.256 --> 00:08:20.016 that's when he pranced down on him but uh 00:08:20.016 --> 00:08:22.996 it's a it's a whole totally different ball game when you're facing somebody i 00:08:22.996 --> 00:08:25.856 level to you uh it's almost as if the sense 00:08:25.856 --> 00:08:28.576 of a south pole facing the 00:08:28.576 --> 00:08:32.376 octodox guy you know it's just an awkward feeling you 00:08:32.376 --> 00:08:35.316 know so and it definitely comes a chess game 00:08:35.316 --> 00:08:38.056 and whoever you know whoever gets to 00:08:38.056 --> 00:08:43.536 the punch the quickest that's majority that's gonna be mainly the guy that wins 00:08:43.536 --> 00:08:48.116 so it definitely brings a different edge to the table to other opponents and 00:08:48.116 --> 00:08:52.236 stuff like that because as a tall fighter myself we love fighting the shorter 00:08:52.236 --> 00:08:56.856 guys because first of all we know we have the height advantage first and foremost, 00:08:56.856 --> 00:09:00.816 but not saying that because you're taller than a fighter, 00:09:01.056 --> 00:09:05.176 that don't necessarily mean you're going to win, you know, but that definitely 00:09:05.176 -->

00:09:07.056 gives you the height advantage. 00:09:07.056 --> 00:09:15.236 And if you execute and use that advantage that you have, you almost for certain will win. Okay. 00:09:16.376 --> 00:09:19.176 Overall, how do you feel about the state of the heavyweight division? 00:09:19.376 --> 00:09:23.456 It's definitely more, it's gaining more popularity against it in the United 00:09:23.456 --> 00:09:25.996 States, I'll say, with you leading the way. 00:09:27.116 --> 00:09:30.076 Right. Right, definitely, definitely. I'm enjoying it, man. 00:09:30.156 --> 00:09:35.656 Like I said, I'm just glad to be a part of this movement. It's definitely been moving. 00:09:36.736 --> 00:09:40.476 And it's bringing the excitement back to the people that they're inviting. 00:09:40.736 --> 00:09:45.876 And they're getting excited back over again. A lot of fans have left the sport 00:09:45.876 --> 00:09:48.156 because they just love heavyweights. 00:09:48.296 --> 00:09:51.756 And, you know, and that's been popping, you know, since then. 00:09:51.756 --> 00:09:55.136 But now it's back and a lot of fans have came back. 00:09:55.296 --> 00:09:59.996 They have came back to boxing because of what is happening because of the activity 00:09:59.996 --> 00:10:04.456 that is going on whether they whether they like a matchup or not. 00:10:04.616 --> 00:10:08.956 You know, you know, for me, I feel they like a matchup or not with me. They, they. 00:10:09.699 --> 00:10:15.019 They're definitely, when you come to see a Deontay Wilder fight or you watch 00:10:15.019 --> 00:10:19.459 it or you hear about it, expect to hear about a knockout or expect to see a 00:10:19.459 --> 00:10:21.719 knockout or expect to read a knockout. 00:10:21.859 --> 00:10:26.839 You know, no matter what, fans, when they grasp onto heavyweights, 00:10:26.999 --> 00:10:30.939 that's what they want. That's what they enjoy is the knockouts, 00:10:30.959 --> 00:10:32.519 and that's what I deliver. 00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:37.979 That's why I got my, you know, that's why I got such a big hype now and the 00:10:37.979 --> 00:10:40.739 people are clinging on to me. Even the ones that don't like me, 00:10:40.859 --> 00:10:41.959 they're going to follow me. 00:10:42.239 --> 00:10:45.099 They're going to keep up with me. Even the ones that said they're not going 00:10:45.099 --> 00:10:47.019 to watch, they're going to watch. 00:10:47.179 --> 00:10:51.939 You can't. You can't not help yourself. If you're a boxing fan and you see a 00:10:51.939 --> 00:10:54.239 guy that's knocking out everybody he put against. 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.579 It's like, it's just, either you have to take some medicine or some sleeper 00:10:58.579 --> 00:11:03.419 pills to go to sleep early or what, or you plan yourself to do it. 00:11:03.479 --> 00:11:06.059 You cannot not watch it. 00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:10.999 You know, it's like addiction. It's addictive to not watch, you know, 00:11:11.079 --> 00:11:13.899 no matter how much you don't like the person. That was what Ali said. 00:11:14.099 --> 00:11:18.939 A lot of the majority of the people that was in the seats, they didn't like 00:11:18.939 --> 00:11:20.819 him. They was looking for him to lose, you know. 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:23.839 So he said whether they like me or not, he knew he was going to pack it out. 00:11:24.059 --> 00:11:29.279 Whether they like him to win or they was going to come to see him lose, you know. 00:11:29.419 --> 00:11:32.999 And that's just how it is. That's why, you know, that's why I don't take too much. 00:11:33.119 --> 00:11:37.779 You know, my skin is tough anyway, especially with criticism and stuff like 00:11:37.779 --> 00:11:39.079 that. You know, I just smile it off. 00:11:39.239 --> 00:11:43.819 And and I think those guys that criticize me, you know, say bad things because, 00:11:43.839 --> 00:11:45.499 you know, they're keeping me afloat. 00:11:45.599 --> 00:11:49.739 You know, they're keeping my name out there flowing around and making me even 00:11:49.739 --> 00:11:51.419 more popular than what I am. 00:11:51.539 --> 00:11:54.319 So, you know, all publicity, good publicity. 00:11:55.479 --> 00:11:58.339 Well, the Floyd Mayweather, half the people who buy his pay-per-views are just 00:11:58.339 --> 00:12:00.999 curious to see if he will lose. Definitely. 00:12:01.903 --> 00:12:07.683 Do you think the fact that the Klitschos for all these years have been facing, 00:12:07.683 --> 00:12:13.763 you know, not, you know, subpar European fighters, that's pretty much hurt the 00:12:13.763 --> 00:12:14.983 division, wouldn't you say? 00:12:16.283 --> 00:12:19.123 You can you can see it you can i can i can see it i 00:12:19.123 --> 00:12:22.603 can see it both ways you know i can see it on a business 00:12:22.603 --> 00:12:25.743 side and i can see it on the uh a side 00:12:25.743 --> 00:12:29.143 whereas if you're looking at the popularity or 00:12:29.143 --> 00:12:32.863 the in the the the entertainment of the business of 00:12:32.863 --> 00:12:35.843 boxing as far as fans and and keeping it as 00:12:35.843 --> 00:12:38.903 exciting as far as the sport side i would say i 00:12:38.903 --> 00:12:42.063 say the business side of the sports side on the business side you know 00:12:42.063 --> 00:12:45.183 if i can fight easy fights 00:12:45.183 --> 00:12:47.923 and i can fight opponents that nobody really know. 00:12:47.923 --> 00:12:51.383 Nothing about and still make mega millions 00:12:51.383 --> 00:12:54.023 why not why not go to if i can 00:12:54.023 --> 00:12:57.803 go to easy route and make mega millions and be legit making 00:12:57.803 --> 00:13:01.163 money and it's legit money why not you know 00:13:01.163 --> 00:13:04.143 but on the other side of the thing by going that route 00:13:04.143 --> 00:13:07.583 by you know finding the guys like that you 00:13:07.583 --> 00:13:10.823 know on the boxing side of it people will 00:13:10.823 --> 00:13:14.023 consider it's boring or you're not fighting

nobody or 00:13:14.023 --> 00:13:17.363 or it's hurting the sport is making it boring because 00:13:17.363 --> 00:13:20.323 you know it's nothing so i can see it both ways 00:13:20.323 --> 00:13:23.203 man and and i feel personally i feel 00:13:23.203 --> 00:13:26.023 they have they have had their ups and 00:13:26.023 --> 00:13:29.043 downs in their career to the point where they almost gave 00:13:29.043 --> 00:13:31.823 up the sport until part coming our way back and 00:13:31.823 --> 00:13:34.663 now they they have built their empire and you know 00:13:34.663 --> 00:13:37.803 they they have definitely made their money and 00:13:37.803 --> 00:13:40.583 and you know they they doing what they want to do it's just 00:13:40.583 --> 00:13:44.343 like my career a lot of people wanted me to rush it you know but we had a game 00:13:44.343 --> 00:13:48.363 game plan after i came out to the olympics and we stuck with it and and here 00:13:48.363 --> 00:13:52.043 i am now for the fight for world title so you know they they got a game plan 00:13:52.043 --> 00:13:54.963 that they've been doing and and it's been working for them and they're sticking 00:13:54.963 --> 00:13:59.743 with it no matter what people say so i you know i guess it comes with the bitter and sweet. 00:14:00.850 --> 00:14:05.650 Now, if an American like yourself were to, well, you know, whoever you face 00:14:05.650 --> 00:14:07.390 in the next, you're definitely going to be, I believe. 00:14:07.850 --> 00:14:12.750 And then you go on to win a few more bouts, and let's say knock out Tyson Fury, 00:14:13.050 --> 00:14:15.250 and then you knock out a Klitschuk. 00:14:15.370 --> 00:14:20.050 Do you think that the heavyweight division is back in America for years to come? 00:14:21.390 --> 00:14:25.450 Definitely. Definitely. But, you know, I feel it's a trend. You know, 00:14:25.510 --> 00:14:27.010 I think everybody gets their time. 00:14:27.370 --> 00:14:30.610 You know, I think it's just a recycle thing, you know. 00:14:31.050 --> 00:14:35.870 Many countries have that time to have their champions. And it just comes back 00:14:35.870 --> 00:14:38.090 around. And the torch just comes back around. 00:14:38.470 --> 00:14:42.630 You know, and I feel I'm going to be the guy that that torch is handed to, 00:14:42.810 --> 00:14:47.230 where it comes back around and it stays in America for a long time. 00:14:47.450 --> 00:14:50.530 You know, as long as I want to stay in this sport, I feel the belts are going 00:14:50.530 --> 00:14:53.610 to stay here because, you know, right now it's an open market. 00:14:53.710 --> 00:14:55.350 I don't see nobody beating me. 00:14:55.510 --> 00:14:58.270 You know, I don't even see nobody really give me a competition. 00:14:58.610 --> 00:15:01.770 But what the Clisco? you know and even 00:15:01.770 --> 00:15:04.410 when I fight him I still feel this it's gonna 00:15:04.410 --> 00:15:08.650 be it's gonna be a great fight but I'm on a mission I'm on a mission to unify

00:15:08.650 --> 00:15:12.890 all the belts and uh bring it all back to America where it once were you know 00:15:12.890 --> 00:15:17.950 so I just feel like I'm next for that torch to be handed down to me and long 00:15:17.950 --> 00:15:24.290 live the king yes now who are your favorite boxers today in any division today. 00:15:25.510 --> 00:15:29.350 I don't oh favorite I don't really have a favorite you know I don't, 00:15:29.990 --> 00:15:34.630 most of the time I'm just working on myself you know I watch good fights you 00:15:34.630 --> 00:15:38.310 know I have guys that I definitely keep up with and watch and stuff but I wouldn't 00:15:38.310 --> 00:15:44.110 say favorite you know I don't really have a favorite you know I like you know Florida, 00:15:45.050 --> 00:15:51.050 entertaining you know to watch Canelo he's an entertaining guy to watch you 00:15:51.050 --> 00:15:55.450 know I still watch my man Adrian to watch you know If Danny, 00:15:56.350 --> 00:15:58.890 you know, Keith Thurman, you know, I still watch him. 00:15:59.610 --> 00:16:02.590 There's a lot of guys out there I still watch. You know, I still worry if they 00:16:02.590 --> 00:16:06.550 have a Sean Porter. All those guys, man. Some of those guys are my Olympic buddies, man. 00:16:07.210 --> 00:16:11.710 You know, it's a lot of them that I definitely watch. 00:16:12.562 --> 00:16:15.642 And stuff, but I wouldn't say it. I don't really have a favorite. 00:16:16.482 --> 00:16:21.802 And, you know, I don't mean to disrespect no other fighter and stuff like that 00:16:21.802 --> 00:16:23.622 because, like I said, I keep up with him. 00:16:23.882 --> 00:16:27.522 Even the smaller weights and stuff, I keep up with him. If the fights come on, 00:16:27.562 --> 00:16:30.422 I order the pay-per-view and watch and stuff like that. 00:16:30.542 --> 00:16:33.802 But I don't, no disrespect, but I don't have a favorite. 00:16:34.502 --> 00:16:37.362 Because I like everybody, I guess. How about that? I like them all. 00:16:37.442 --> 00:16:39.622 How about that? I don't have a favorite because I like them all. 00:16:40.222 --> 00:16:43.962 That works. That works. Now, speaking of Floyd Mayweather, I had read where 00:16:43.962 --> 00:16:47.562 you had said that you think he's going to beat Marcus Mayweather as easily. 00:16:47.902 --> 00:16:51.962 Is there anyone out there that you think can beat Floyd or really even be, 00:16:52.002 --> 00:16:53.342 you know, taken to the limit? 00:16:54.162 --> 00:16:58.382 Well, you know, any man is beatable. 00:16:58.642 --> 00:17:05.682 You know, I don't feel like Floyd is just an invisible fighter that nobody can't beat him. 00:17:05.682 --> 00:17:12.682 But I don't, you know, with the amount of time that he has left in the industry. 00:17:13.502 --> 00:17:17.242 I think he will, after this one, there's going to be, what, two more, two or three more? 00:17:17.762 --> 00:17:24.062 Yeah. I just don't see nobody coming up enough time to be able to be

ready for 00:17:24.062 --> 00:17:26.002 him at the time of him exiting. 00:17:26.362 --> 00:17:32.302 You know, so he's definitely going to exit the building as the man. 00:17:32.302 --> 00:17:38.002 You know, he's good at what he's doing, man. He's done a lot of things the right way. 00:17:38.562 --> 00:17:44.742 He does a lot of things that he don't get credit for, like charity work and 00:17:44.742 --> 00:17:46.902 helping the homeless and stuff like that. 00:17:47.022 --> 00:17:50.782 You know, people always try to dig up the negativity about him. 00:17:51.242 --> 00:17:55.582 But he does a lot of things that people don't know. But people don't want to 00:17:55.582 --> 00:17:59.042 hear about the good all the time. They don't want to hear about the good because the good don't sell. 00:17:59.932 --> 00:18:05.612 You know, everybody went here about the bag. But right now, as the minute, 00:18:05.852 --> 00:18:09.552 as what he has left, I don't see nobody else beating him, you know. 00:18:09.652 --> 00:18:15.592 But, hey, we all know that it's boxing, and we didn't have a lot of upset fights 00:18:15.592 --> 00:18:16.892 and stuff like that. Hey, who knows? 00:18:17.052 --> 00:18:23.312 Madonna may come out with a new thing that nobody ain't doing because everybody's 00:18:23.312 --> 00:18:24.772 doing the same thing to Floyd. 00:18:25.232 --> 00:18:30.372 And each and every time they come in and get defeated. So they may have a game 00:18:30.372 --> 00:18:35.272 plan just like they did for Broner and come out there and do something. Who knows? 00:18:36.292 --> 00:18:44.332 When I say Floyd's the easy fight for Madonna, I'm not exiting Madonna out now. 00:18:44.472 --> 00:18:45.732 Everybody have a punching chance. 00:18:46.632 --> 00:18:51.832 Who knows? But I just feel like it's going to be an easy fight for Floyd, 00:18:52.072 --> 00:18:57.472 especially he takes it seriously like he took all the other ones and do what 00:18:57.472 --> 00:18:59.532 he got to do in the ring come that night. 00:18:59.752 --> 00:19:01.812 You know, he made it look so easy for Canelo. 00:19:02.892 --> 00:19:06.832 And, you know, I think Canelo is a much better fighter than Madonna. 00:19:07.332 --> 00:19:11.612 You know, which I do feel like Madonna, which I do feel like Madonna has more 00:19:11.612 --> 00:19:14.452 heart and will than Canelo. 00:19:14.732 --> 00:19:17.772 And that's the place it's not because we'll beat skills. 00:19:18.832 --> 00:19:24.212 You know, we'll beat skills all the time. And they say styles make fights and 00:19:24.212 --> 00:19:26.792 skills wins it. But we'll overcome skills. 00:19:26.972 --> 00:19:29.292 So it's going to be a great fight all around. 00:19:29.512 --> 00:19:32.572 I mean, you know, boxing is winning. 00:19:32.772 --> 00:19:37.132 So, you know, when you have two fights like that, no matter what people's opinion 00:19:37.132 --> 00:19:41.312 about it is, you know, boxing, at the end of the day, boxing is winning. 00:19:41.472 --> 00:19:43.232 And I love when boxing is winning. 00:19:44.172 --> 00:19:47.532 Okay. In closing, is there anything you'd like to tell your fans? 00:19:48.512 --> 00:19:51.832 To all my fans, I'd just like to tell y'all guys from the bottom of my heart 00:19:51.832 --> 00:19:53.712 that, you know, I love you guys. 00:19:53.712 --> 00:19:56.672 I love you especially the ones that been with me from day one 00:19:56.672 --> 00:19:59.832 you know it's been a long journey for us is 00:19:59.832 --> 00:20:02.852 we we didn't we didn't have to because how many people 00:20:02.852 --> 00:20:06.192 we didn't have to defend ourselves for many people but now 00:20:06.192 --> 00:20:09.612 you know this moment that time is here 00:20:09.612 --> 00:20:13.932 it's our time baby and uh when i get this belt we won't have to say nothing 00:20:13.932 --> 00:20:18.252 else so once so once i was raised high in the sky in the air and they say it's 00:20:18.252 --> 00:20:21.992 new we don't have to say nothing else because we're gonna let that belt speak 00:20:21.992 --> 00:20:27.552 for ourselves so we can have a smile on our face and we all can say BOOM SQUAT! 00:20:29.912 --> 00:20:33.172 Until then, I love y'all guys and keep on keeping me in your prayers. 00:20:33.932 --> 00:20:37.132 Alright.
