here with the Stomping Ground we have got the busiest man I know everyone thinks Eddie’s the busiest man you are the busiest man I’ve ever met in my life I’m good at paperwork I sit on the background I I stay out the way you like flying private I saw that unfortunately I can’t afford it myself yet so it’s only when someone else pays oh okay how how feel about Mr PR with ear when it wasn’t yeah good mate good keeping busy keeping out of trouble you know traveling a lot but it’s all good fun it’s going well boxing’s in a great place well no um no no small part to you I would say in that I feel like you get a lot of the deals to in the background I try to I try to be the politician in the can I can I ask this is this might not even go in this is just for me you was nasty to Mr Ben Shalom why is that I don’t like it you’re not but the reality is I’m quite a stra up person I don’t mince my words I’m honest M and I just have an opinion and that’s my opinion don’t think it’s going to change but it doesn’t matter like there’s a lot of people I don’t like right but you can still do business but I still do business absolutely and there’s no emotion there yeah yeah yeah like I’m emotionless when it comes to business you have to be you know personal life I’m a different person you could be a seral killer is that what you’re telling me potentially no I’m not I’m too shock I’m to but like personal life different person but business it is what it is Tak any personally and yeah look it doesn’t mean I can’t do business with a guy but I just have my view on him people may not agree maybe I shouldn’t say it on camera but it is what it is better to be straightforward it exactly at least you know where you stand absolutely we’re up here today I going to be Hest a little bit disappointed in the Press was a bit flat a bit nice a bit I don’t know I was expecting a bit St for the way I’m say whole weekend weekend yeah I think the Way’s going to be tasty I think this has gone on so long there you forget like about even the two years before the month extra ad is as well I think that sort of they just want to get in there okay I think the way tomorrow is going to be interesting I think Fight Night there’s going to be fire between the two of them it means so much to them both absolutely you know I think and I think it’s a it’s going to be a big night it’s going to be a big night how come you did it PIV uh privately yeah normally there’s a public workout and the ego is a bit higher I think if we did it in either Manchester or Glasgow different story obviously we’re in leads um the fight sold brilliantly we’ll be packed out in there on Saturday night but the fans don’t come in yeah some tomorrow mostly on Saturday so we wanted to you know focus on the media as you saw there was a load of media abely and also make it about the media it’s here for the media to get their quotes they get their comments so that for us was the focus today but Saturday you’re going to see some atmosphere in there t on Saturday night so you spoke about uh boxing in a great place obviously you was out there last last week in Saudi and I assume you’re going to be next week if you’re not in Tokyo or somewhere like that so what what do you think has been other than the money I think the money is the easy thing to say someone’s for money what has been the common denominator now to get all these big fights happening both domestically and abroad I think taking away ego taking away anything that you know money is important you’re not going to stand there and lie money was an important factor but at the same time it’s about making great fights happen and relationships you know and I think once you break it down we get on very well with Frank Warren now George Warren we’ve always had a good relationship with you know it’s it’s about getting past those initial a lot of it this oh absolutely but it’s built from this and you know he said this you said this and then you respond to it it’s never ended it gets worse and worse and worse and it builds up and then you think oh he’s an you know but actually when you get to sit and talk to someone you go actually quite a nice blow and I think that’s what has been great is actually breaking down those barriers and going you know what let’s just make great fights and we all get on and we do it outside of Saudi now you see it here Chef Clark’s fighting Ellis Zoro with Queensbury we’ve got shabaz massud fighting Liam Davis on a Queensbury show in July and that’s good if we can make great fights that benefit the sport of boxing then Happy Days what does continued success at life you in that sorry this is they’ll be raging with this cuz I’m asking you proper questions they don’t want questions but what does continue get some clickbait somewhere else uh continued success for me in the business is I think we’re business very much built around Eddie and profile which is great has been huge for us but I want to take it to that next level in globally you know we’re doing an event we or we signed for multiple events in Japan and that’s something Eddie hasn’t been too involved in but it’s about building the match room brand so that you’re not relying on an individual or a character you know you’re relying on the brand we’ve built so for me it’s about global uh Global growth you know and that’s what we’ll continue to do you know we’re in a great place in the UK we’re never going to take our ey of the boy out the UK US markets Mexico it’s about building the business out from there and that’s that’s the focus that’s my day today really now what I’m doing this is where your heads at so anyway go back to last week I thought you say going back to clickbait no no no probably yeah but going back to last week huge event massive event I’ve got I eded his question earlier I’m interested in your takee does this fight make AJ’s losses to usk better and as he come out of it probably better than the pair of them I think the truth is for me is they can all beat each other on their best night what makes the sport so great you know look it was a it was a close I think Tyson Fury was probably 5 to ahead in that fight but usyk as he always does finds a way you know to come back and he you know he deserved to win that fight but you know I think you can compare and say right what was AJ like in that fight what was the scorecards here what was the but AJ was never hurt really like like Tyson was in either of his fights and uh you know I think it’s great because it keeps the narrative going people want to see these fights and all these fights will happen as well so yeah I think it changes people’s views but people’s perception and view changes constantly after Josh knocked out France Ando he’s back on top again yeah absolutely because they’re comparing that to Tyson Fury it’s quite easy to compare all these Fighters but the reality is when they get in there with each other that’s the only time you’ll see absolutely and then on Alexander who do we think he’s in a situation now where he is powerful pound number one I believe so I believe so what he’s done at cruiserweight now at heavyweight he’s amateur pedigree before Sun Edwards was just telling me all about cuz obviously I’m I’m like a boxing fan but I don’t know all of that and he would said he was a superstar from those days all the way to now sorry for interrupting no no no I know I look he’s like I’m a bit like you like as in I’m not as a passionate of a boxing fan yeah as or like a hardcore yes but to see what he’s done in the sport is spectacular especially that move to heavyweight the size difference as well and I think for me he was the one who hasn’t ducked anybody I don’t that’s ever been put at his floor that he was scared of or he’s want to do a business decision no I think it’s fantastic he hasn’t got in just moving forward you know what I haven’t asked Eddie this yet so I’ll get your opinion on it for a lot of us myself included Connor Ben situation will we ever get closer to that being done dusted find out what’s going on I feel like we’ve said it so many times of we’re here we’re here’re a week away we’re two weeks away we we will get there mhm um no one wants it more than well get back in the ring and I hope we’ll have an answer soon you know because we want to get him back boxing in the UK he’s arguably in the top four names in British boxing everyone’s calling him out there’s huge fights to be made out there so that’s the focus for us and we just need a date now that’s yeah I about say why why where is the delay for for an amate I don’t know why is the Del ongoing legal matter that they’re going back and forth on you know I wish we could give more yeah absolutely it’s just at the point now where hopefully very soon we’ll get somewhere because uh it’s been a been a long tiring process been coming up to 18 months now that this has been going on and we just want to we want to get him back in the ring in the UK am I right I think he probably would have been back now if he was banned originally am I right I think anything you know anything’s possible I I definitely think you know he would have learned a lot from this process but I think we’ve learned a lot from this process now people will say it wasn’t handled correctly but at the same time you only learn when you go through these absolutely man Conor I love Conor Conor’s a friend of mine so just I just thought it’d be remiss of me to not ask that cuz it’s a question that seems to go any time I listen to talk sport or things like that they’re always there it feels like it’s never ending but hopefully we’ll get there I want your opinion one more thing for I’ll let you go chora versus Joe Joyce why do I feel like it’s a perfect fight for Derek I think Derek chisora can win that fight 100% absolutely look a lot of people have their view that Derek should have retired Derek I’m like he’s become a close friend of mine take away the boxing take away the business he’s a close friend of mine I think it’s a fight he can win I think you know many people would think he should have reside but then he’s done so many people have said that over the years um but I’m I’m team Derek jaor all day long no I just think Derek not know as well as you he just lights up a room when he walks in everyone thinks he’s louder but his personality his soul he’s perfect never know what he can say absolutely not but he’s genuinely at his core he’s good we I was at a boxing event not too long ago he pulled up in his smart car and I was walking down the street and all I heard was de get out of here and I was thinking who the is that turn around it’s Derek CL have tear up on on the street with him would you I know you’re a big L no but he’s a much bigger L anyway right always a pleasure sir thank you catch up with you properly on Saturday cheers buddy thank you all good yeah all good I just don’t like
