Josh Green here 4 seconds out delighted to joined once again by Mr Frank Smith here on weigh in day L Crocker fight night how you doing Frank I’m good mate how are you very very well um just one day away now we spoke a lot about Lis

Crocker yesterday but I want to touch on the co-main the main Chief support in in Chev Clark against Tommy McCarthy really well balanced fight that one yeah great fight you got an experienced fighter in McCarthy was he had 25 close to 30 fights probably going in against Chev

Clark in just his eighth fight um but Chev a decorated amateur we’ve seen what he’s done in the amateurs but he needs to move quickly at this stage of his career and this is the perfect fight for him especially if he wants to go into those fights we’re talking about for him

You know after this we’d be looking at the British title for sure but Tommy’s a Tommy’s a perfect opponent for him so excited for that fight and uh I think we’re going to learn a lot about him on Saturday night do you see shev as a

Favorite going into that I I I think so I think so off the back of some of Tommy’s previous performances you know he obviously said yesterday he’s focused on this fight he’s he’s coming he’s trained hard and he’s ready but you know I I have think you have to put chevin as

The favorite for sure but it’s a proper fight and you know the kind of fight we need to make talk about the British title there he’s been mandatory for that title for around eight months now and speaking to him yesterday I think there is a little bit of frustration there

Well that’ll be 100% focus and the aim for shev next yeah for sure look we made a massive offer to Isaac Chamberlain via boxer to do that fight like the biggest offer by million miles that he’s ever earned uh I think they’re looking at going another route so hopefully they

Vacate the belt and allow no sh his opportunity to fight for it we talked about lisis crocky yesterday but pad Donovan on the card as well and you look down the line speaking to Paddy and un Lewis yesterday possibly a mega fight it’s not a fight that they want next or

In the next year or so they want that down the line in an arena it could really be a huge huge fight I think that could be a big arena fight next yeah in stay in where they are in their careers I think that’s a perfect fight for both

Of them and Win Lose or Draw they come out of it the winner comes out obviously looking at big fights in a 147 division but the loser you know by taking a fight like that by putting it on the line people respect that and that’s what

Boxing needs more of and I you know I’m confident we could see that fight next and I’m confident it would sell out the arena here in Belfast speaking to Jamie Conan yesterday about Mick conin and his loss to Jordan Gil he seems to think that Mick wants to achieve more in this

Sport and not hang the gloves for yourself what would you like to see him do look he’s standing just behind you there you know Mick’s in a good position that financially he’s done tremendously well in the sport you know and because he’s worked hard for it he’s had some

Amazing fights and he’s done so much both as an amateur and professional so if he decided to retire you couldn’t question that but at the same time if he feels like he’s still got more to offer and he still wants more from the sport then that’s only for his you know that’s

His decision to make there’s still big fights out there to be made for him you know he’s a he’s a real character he sells a lot of tickets and he’s got a massive profile so there’s always going to be fights for him it’s just it’s up

To him as to what stage of his life he’s at and what he wants to do well we’re in this area of the world we do need to speak about Katy Taylor we sure saw her produce one of her alltime Great Performances against Shantel Cameron last time out is the aim moving towards

The third fight there that’s the fight we want to make look it’s one all the trilogy is the perfect fight there you know we represent both ktie and Chantel and it’s a I think it’s a fight that deserves that trilogy you know both of and put it all on the line those two

Times two of the best nights I think we’ve ever seen um in boxing and uh yeah I think we’d love to see that again there’s no shortage of options for Katy Taylor is is that the biggest fight for her you think that’s the fight we’re focusing on making yeah there’s Big Lots

Of big fights there there’s lots of big fights there’s the Serrano fight someone brought out the Jonas fight the other day for Katy Taylor could be interesting but for me the Shantel Cameron fights the fight we want to make someone I’ve seen dotting around fight week this week

Is Mr Sunny Edwards unfortunately was on a lot L on came out on the losing side last time out what’s the plan for him we want to get him back out sort of June time hopefully looking for another world title shot at another weight um let’s see you know possibly against the non

Shinga curiel winner which takes place on Feb 16th think that’s a great fight um so yeah let’s let’s see how things play out on that front but be good to get Sunny back out there he went in there and he he showed a lot of heart

And he made a lot of fans that night although he didn’t get the win I think you know he built built his profile and built himself in that in that uh fight and yeah he got so much more to offer the sport Sun someone that splits opinion very much in person and on

Social media as well sometimes when you lose a fight you can earn fans that way people like seeing people lose don’t they do you think he’s probably got gained fans from that 100% but he was very honest and he also knows that he’s done a lot of things in the P like

Whether on purp that whine people up that get to people so he knew that if that moment was to come he was going to have to deal with a lot of from people but he got a lot he gained a lot of respect from people as as well

Because he didn’t quit in that fight you know he literally gave it his everything um so yeah he’s gained a lot of fans in that we touched on Josh Taylor against Jack Catal yesterday Eddie Hearn saying that he believes that will be on a Pay-Per-View fight and with the money

They want maybe they wouldn’t be able to to offer the money that they want what are your thoughts yeah look it’s it has to make all of these things have to make sense for everyone it’s not a Pay-Per-View fight for us it’s a great fight it’s a brilliant fight and uh but

If it means the fight happening on another plat form then then so be it you know Jack had a great journey with him and I’m sure we’ll continue even if he was to go somewhere else for this one so see how things play out what are the

Other options and the big fights out there for Jack Cal because I think many people see Josh Taylor as the biggest fight for him yeah I think it is the biggest fight I think if he can go in and I believe he can if he can go in and

Beat Josh Taylor like he beat him the first time around didn’t get the result but he did um then it sets him up for big fights in the you know he wants to fight for a world title as well but I think firstly he wants to write this

Wrong and I think getting a win like that will boost his profile even further and set him up for those World title shots a little bit of heavyweight talk I saw a tweet from Derek choro this morning saying welcome back with a a picture of David Haye attached uh can

You shed any light on that at all I guess he just got back from Costa Rica I think that I mean I don’t know maybe he’s coming back maybe he’s just got back from Costa Rica who knows or maybe he smell he smells some big fights in the heavyweight division let’s see I’ll

Probably miss something there I I um in terms of AJ and garu and the relationship now between Eddie Hearn and Frank war and Queensbury matchroom it seems such a change from what we’ve seen over the last few years is it a little bit strange still I mean the reality is we never

Really knew each other to dislike each other it was driven by all of this and saying things and everyone each other saying things about each other and driven by the media really don’t go wrong we said things he they said things and it is what it is but actually we didn’t know them

You know we didn’t we we done work with George Warren always got on well with George Warren and made things happen but now there’s actually a relationship where you can sit down and have a conversation which is going to benefit the sport how much of a difference does

That make as well to the fighters involved in both Stables because it just opens so many more doors it means we can make the best fights between our Stables look at the end of the day we’re always going to be competitors we you know we we we’re opposing businesses that’s

Always going to be the way but at the same time we um we want them to do the best thing for our Fighters and for our broadcasters so you know if that means delivering great fights between us then we’ll do that this feel like the first time that everybody’s been pulling

Towards that AJ against titon Fury fight it feels like every time we’ve got to a stage with it there’s been something in the way but is everybody pulling in the right direction now yeah look but then neither of those Fighters will be looking past what they’ve got ahead of

Them you know Tyson Fury’s got Alexander usik Feb 17 massive Undisputed fight AJ’s gotten garu they need to get through that first so yeah that’s that’s the focus and then we work from there but if there’s ever a time that that fight can be made it’s now thank you

Very much for your time Frank
