I heart radio.
Every family has its secrets.
But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life?
That is not the look of an innocent man.
Is everyone lying to me about who they are?
I felt such desperation.
I felt it was what I had to do.
Listen to Deep Cover the Family Man on the I Heart Radio,
App Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
This is the thing I really wanted to look at.
I really wanted to see this part.
The Dana White Jake Paul Beef.
Will it ever end?
Apparently Logan asked him about it on the show, so let's take a listen.
While we're doing it, there's another bridge I'd like to maybe connect.
Dude, is the burnt bridge with my brother unfixable?
I don't hate your brother.
He made a disc track on you, though.
You know what's funny about your brother?
So your brother.
Y'all remember the disc track?
The disc track was unironically not bad.
It was a pretty good song.
He accidentally made a pretty good disc track.
Although the storyline of the disc track was a little odd, if you guys remember.
Like Jake and the whole thing is advocating for fighter pay,
but then he's also making fun of Jorge Mosvall for never making any money.
And then he's like advocating for fighter insurance and like how you can't,
UFC fighters don't get their stuff paid out after they retire.
While he's also beating the shit out of the guy that comes.
to the hospital to get help.
And then the whole time,
you wonder how the guy got beat up in the first place.
And it turns out Jake jumped into the MMA cage and beat him up with a chair.
So he was the culprit the whole time.
I don't know if they thought the story beats through.
But yeah, he got someone to act his day.
And Chris Cyborg was in the video.
That time on YouTube for my channel was insane.
Talks more shit than anybody else on the planet.
Now him and the warlock are running around trying to fucking sue people.
They're trying to fucking sue people
When people talk shit
Well
Oh my God
He called Nikisa the warlock again
Oh no
Dude you know Nickies is going to respond to that
You know he's going to
And Jake probably will too
Because this is how it goes
Things died down
And ironically usually it's Dana
That starts talking about it again
To be fair he was asked here
Logan asked him
About this beef with Jake
And himself
But Jake usually doesn't start it
usually Dana says something
he's got him and the warlock
running around suing people
to be fair some of the people are saying
things that are clearly false
and they're just acting as if it's true
and I don't like the whole
oh we're suing we're suing
but like Dana would sue people too
if every single time he put on an event
someone was saying it was like
reputable people were saying
that they were fake fights
and that they were being rigged
you know like if he had Pierce Morgan
saying that in front of a bunch of people
like actual reputable sources saying that he would take action too probably wouldn't have said it publicly
it probably just been behind the scenes but you can't like you and i get what he's saying too you can't
sue random twitter accounts be like oh fake fight wake fight that you're never going to win but like reputable
actual journalist sources you know commentators and the knelt boys brought this up to me and
you know i'm sure there's people out there saying you know that they're fake fights they're fixed
and all this other fucking bullshit.
But I think what people mean when they talk about it is, you know,
he's,
he's going to fight fucking Gervante Davis.
It's like when you,
who do you got?
You guys need to fight.
Please tell me that was a cut.
Please tell me that was a cut.
Yo, Mike's funny as shit, dude.
Mike said,
who you got after this whole conversation about fake fights and how the fights are
bullshit?
Mike's like,
no, seriously, though, who you got?
Can Jervon?
Dante Davis. It's like when you who do you got you guys need to fight guys your fucking
same size. You know what I mean? Um, straight up ignored. When you fought Floyd, you are massive.
You're a massive fucking dude. Floyd's tiny. And I'm sure when you were training you're like,
all right, I'm going to hit this guy with a couple punches and grab them, tie him up. And he did
hit you with a fucking bomb of an overhand right one time. And you fucking ate it. You ate that punch.
Logan's like proud of it. He's like, yeah, I did. Hell yeah, I ate that punch from 140.
You're damn right, dude. Now, granted, it's Floyd Mayweather, but you're still 200 pounds, dog.
You know what I mean? This is why, and I agree with Dana on this, this is why the
Jervante fight makes no sense to me. Because even, yes, Floyd didn't have the punching power
Javante had, but even if Javante lands, I don't see him hurting Jake to the point he knocks him out.
So what are we even doing? Where is the idea of this gonna, like, where's the idea that Javante's
even going to hurt him? He may hurt him to the body, you know, whatever. Jake doesn't want to
throw as much, but I don't see him one punch knocking Jake out. And, you know, the same thing was
kind of said with Logan. Like, okay, Floyd probably won't knock him out, but probably going to outbox him.
I get where Dana's coming from. These things are, are not meant to be competitive fights. They're meant
to make money and to, I guess, scratch that itch of the circus mystery unknown. And Jervante,
I think hits way harder than fucking Floyd, but he's too small. I mean, your brother's going to be
able to, you know, get inside on them, put his weight on them, tie him up. But I don't hate your
brother. Your brother's out there doing his thing. But it cracks me up that they want to start
suing people that are talking shit when your brother talks more shit than anybody talks.
I think the thought process behind it is. Okay, so Jake and I are obviously pretty polarizing
individuals. And when an echo chamber starts and a rumor mill starts of like staged fight bullshit,
which like these fights aren't staged, you know, that's just, it's, at that level,
it's like almost impossible.
I think they think that it affects the business and it affects the brand because people
discredit him as actually having legitimate, legitimate bouts.
I think that's the theory.
So to hold people accountable for, for, for, for,
perpetuating the rumor.
Legitimate meaning not fixed.
Correct.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
And I, which is, which is, I mean, again, Dana would do the same thing.
If his company became known for doing fixed fights when they weren't,
then he would try to find the same way to hold people accountable
if they were reputable people saying that, right?
So I don't, again, the whole Jake's suing people for blatantly trying to say
he fixes fights or he stages fights or people have no knockout clauses
and all the other bullshit.
I understand.
Now, again, people need to use their words more accurately
if they're upset about what Jake is doing.
All you have to do, if you're upset with the way,
way Jake is moving in his career is say what some people do say, which is we like to see Jake
challenge himself. We don't want to see these exhibitions, these fights that don't make sense for what
you've said you want to do or what you purport to want to be in the sport of boxing, which is a
world champion. We want to see you fight active fighters around your skill level. That's it. But you can't
go on there and go, oh, look, another rigged fight. Oh, look, another fake fight. Oh, look, he's staging
another one, right? That's the thing that's again, false. So I get it. I get why they're upset,
but I also get why people categorize it the way they do. You just got to be better with your
words. That's it. And I many of the fights are legitimate fights, but not being fixed.
Yeah. I, I, hey, you hit me here and I hit you there. Yeah. I mean, that's that data, that's
insane. You like, I agree. Like let's let's choreograph. What are you going to do? What are you
going to do? What are you going to do if people are fucking saying stupid shit? People say dumb shit about me,
my business, you know, all the time.
True.
This is another thing, too.
Like, when Logan was saying an echo chamber starts,
how many people say crazy shit about the UFC and Dana?
Not maybe on the fixed fight level,
but they say some crazy shit.
So it's like he's never, I mean,
maybe he has sued some people.
And that's probably out in public record at this point.
But the fighter pay thing comes up all the time.
You know, that's, that's, I mean,
I don't know what you would really sue someone over there.
But I'm just saying there's probably things that have been wrong or false
that have come out about Dana.
that is said all the time.
It's just who gives you shit?
Yeah.
Fucking ignore it and just keep doing your thing.
Have you guys ever sued anyone?
Oh, good question.
That's a good question.
I don't think so.
Really?
I don't think so.
But in 25 years, I mean, we've obviously been in some shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it happens.
It happens.
That was actually a really good question from Logan.
He stuck it on him there.
Fair play.
Back in the old days, when we first bought this company, it was the Wow, Wow West.
I mean, people were using our trademark, and it was crazy back then.
But I don't think we ever had to sue anybody.
We'd probably send a couple letters out.
We'll send some letters out saying, hey, knock it off or we're going to sue you.
I hear your.
Which, by the way, I think is what Jake is doing.
So again, Dana being critical of it, like, now again, if you're using someone's trademark
and all that other stuff, that's a little different.
But Jake is essentially sending out cease and desist.
I hear your critique on fighting guys the same size as you.
Is that why you guys would let me fight Connor?
Is that why what?
Is that why you wouldn't let me fight Connor?
What's fucking gonna fight?
Yeah, you're fucking huge.
Connor weighs 145 pounds, 155 pounds.
Yeah, but he says he could beat me.
And I think people would tune in.
But everybody thinks that.
I mean, everybody thinks so good.
If he said, I can't beat fucking Logan Paul.
I mean, come on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're gonna say that.
He's a fucking professional fighter.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
See, there's just a fundamental difference in the way
an actual sports CEO and an entertainer look at sports.
That's what I'm getting with the entire, like,
between these, you know, influencer crossover, boxing matches, especially the ones that Logan does,
and now with Jake doing the same thing, sort of. There's just a fundamental difference in the way they look at
things. They look at these events like blockbuster events. They don't look at them as sporting events.
They look at him as spectacle. I mean, Logan's in the fucking WWE, for God's sake. That's the way they look at.
And that's the way Jake looks at these kind of events. He does because he's fighting Jervante Davis.
Into any sports, hardcore, competition, morale, effort, you know, legacy, hierarchy-minded sportsperson,
none of it makes any sense.
Because we go, well, no.
Devante is not in Jake's weight class.
What does that prove?
We do sport to prove who's better at sport, not with inherent advantages or disadvantages or XYZ.
Logan and I guess Jake, for that matter, look at these like, we want to get the most eyes possible
regardless of what people said.
We and our, and I think that Logan and Jake both believe,
this because of the disadvantages we came into the sport with if we are to do better than people
expected or if we're able to win or knock someone out then we're better which is not true because
there's massive disadvantages on the other end i would say that outweigh the disadvantages on
their end at least jakeson the way they market these things and act like if i beat jervante i'm better
or if logan was like i beat floyd and i beat i'm the best boxer in the world when floyd wasn't
the best boxer when logan bought him and also it was a 60 pound weight difference like the way they
categorize and in narrative shape around it is the thing people get upset about and the fact that
it's happening but yeah yeah i don't hate your brother i don't hate your brother your brother talks
more shit than anybody that i've ever seen uh you know he's he's always talking shit about the ufc
and all this other stuff it's like an obsession for him for for some weird reason um but i don't i don't
hate your brother do you think do you think that the relationship can be
mended eventually into what as far as i i don't know we're gonna hang out and fucking you know go see a
movie or something i mean you know maybe maybe i don't know just to be cordial just because like
yeah we can be cordial i have no problem with you bro yeah yeah we have no problem with your brother
we are in the fucking fight business man yeah lots of mean things are said yeah and and and and uh
shit flies back and forth um there are obviously listen if i didn't like your brother i'd say i can't stand
your fucking brother and and I wouldn't be shy about it. Yeah. Um, he probably ban him from
UFC events if he couldn't, if he couldn't, uh, if he didn't like him that much, you know
I'm saying? He'd probably put him on the ban list, uh, because he really doesn't like,
like people he doesn't like Ariel Huan. He doesn't like, uh, Dan Rovel. He doesn't like those
kind of guys. But I think that it's more of just like, uh, your brother's a little shit
talker. And Dana likes to get in the weeds. He likes to get in the mud with them. Honestly, I think
Dana doesn't like Nikisa more than he doesn't more than Jake like I think that Jake is just you know
he's obviously he's Jake he talks his shit whatever but I think it's more Dana probably doesn't like
Nika and vice versa by the way I don't think they like each other but Dana'll tell you who he doesn't like
I think he's pretty clear when he calls Nekisa the warlock and won't even say his name that's who
he doesn't like like like many other people in the business but I do not hate your brother that's
it's just I don't I wish I mean again it's not Logan's responsibility to ask this
but I do wish he would have asked more about Nekisa
Because then you would see Dana turn red
And I think it really fired up
Or he just shut it down right away
But I would have been interested in that
The rematch of Chris Eubank Jr. versus Connor Ben
Although Chris Eubank Jr. clearly won the first fight
So I'll call it business is reopening
Between these two
This will be Eubank versus Ben number four
The fathers fought twice
The sons are now fighting twice
A middleweight fight for November 15th
And this is one of the most watched fights
In the UK especially
of the year.
This was a great fight
between two guys
that were in a knockdown,
drag-out, slobber-knocker,
back and forth.
Chris Eubank Jr. took the win
and Doug super deep
was an absolute D-A-W-G
dog in the first fight
and needed to be
because Connor Ben looked a lot better
than I think people realized
he would at 160 pounds.
Normally he's at 147 came up.
But unfortunately for him,
his inexperience,
his lack of technique,
and just him winging shots,
was his undoing.
Ubank Jr. took him to school in those last five to six rounds.
And it was amazing in Tottenham Hot Spurr Stadium.
We're ready to do it again in just over a month and a half and some change.
But today they're doing the first press conference for this rematch.
And we have to take a look because things got spicy.
Things got downright disrespectful.
And accusations that came out of this are absolutely wild.
What do I mean?
The breakdown.
Let's go.
Connor Ben.
He's back at 160 pounds.
Now, I was told, or I guess I saw online,
Connor wore this Manchester City jersey in honor of the late great Ricky Hatton,
who just recently passed away, obviously super unfortunate,
and just something that no one anticipated is really, really a tragic day for the sport of boxing
and the entire UK.
It's just awful.
All of it is awful.
I send my condolences to his family, to his close ones.
Make sure you guys all say a prayer.
This was a nice touch from Connor Ben.
And again, we're going to get into some stuff in just a second
that I thought was super tasteless.
But let's just first and foremost.
And I think they actually did a nice tribute as well in this press conference.
But I just wanted to make sure I say, obviously, rest and peace to the legend.
Ladies and gentlemen, Chris, Eubank Jr.
There he is.
At Louis Vuitton.
So let's hear from the fighters.
Firstly, a quick word.
from Chris Eubank Jr.
Chris, when you think back to A.
I like you to address Connor first.
I think I'm just interested here
what he's got to say.
Okay, as you wish.
Hey, I have a feeling I'm going to say this a lot in this video.
To the victor goes to spoils, all right?
So in the first fight, you saw Chris Eubank Jr.
perform absolute masterclasses in these press conferences.
He was dancing around Eddie Hearn and Connor Ben.
he was holding court, he was going on monologues, which I expect today, but now that he's won,
he's going to up it to the next level. And he starts right away by going like, yeah, you know,
I appreciate you coming to me first, but I want to hear what Connor Ben has to say. After all
that talking before the first fight, after all the stuff that was said about how he was going to
knock me out in three or four rounds, and after the whole egging and exaggerating and all that,
what's he got to say now? After I won, what's he got to say? This, this, this, this, this, this
is what the victor gets.
When you do a rematch, somebody already won.
Somebody's already gotten ahead of the game.
And that's Chris Ewein, Jr.
Connor, when you think about what happened in April,
you always said it was the early runs that got you out with bed
because you feared losing in this game.
How has the reality been for you?
And what have you perhaps learned about yourself since April?
Yeah, listen, I mean, it's always hard processing the loss.
Nobody prepares to lose, you know, as far as we want to do our best.
but ultimately we want to get the victory at all costs.
You know, it's taught me a lot.
It's told me a lot about myself.
I want to go back to the drawing board and work and learn,
gain experience.
And experience was gained.
So no doubt November 15th you get a better version.
There is no doubt about it that Connor Ben has a lot more to learn.
By the way, I just realized he's got a face tattoo.
He did not have that the last time I saw.
I like, here's the thing.
I like Connor Ben.
And I know that's not going to win me any fans in this back and forth
because I also like Chris Eubank Jr.
But I got to interview Connor Ben almost.
I think it was the weekend after, or the week of the next fight week in New York.
He came out to the Ryan Garcia-Roli-Romero fight.
And I got to tell you guys, he looked like he was handling the loss well.
I know that, you know, it's tough.
You never know what's going on internally with people.
But he didn't have a scratch on him.
He sat through that interview like it was just another thing.
And I think that he had gotten a decent enough reception, at least in America,
from fight fans because of his performance,
because he went toe to toe because he swung it out, he dogged it out.
And this is what I keep saying about pro boxing right now
and why best fighting the best, or at least matchups you want to see
entertaining matchups being more important than belts,
being more important than a win and a loss in some cases.
I still believe obviously wins and losses mean something,
but it's not the end of the world, it's not the end of the road.
I think that's what Connor Ben.
And other fighters see is that when they take risks,
and when Chris Eubank took a risk as well,
you see the fans rally around that.
You see them almost supports you more.
because the loss is only as bad as your performance sometimes in the fight.
At least that's the way I look at it,
and that's why I enjoy this being a rematch,
even though I would have loved to have seen Chris Hubeank do something else at 168 potentially,
and Conner Ben fight whoever at 147, maybe a Ryan Garcia,
both coming off losses, that would have made sense.
But this is why I'm okay with the rematch
because they both leave it in the ring.
Win or loss.
Has your opinion on Conner Ben changed since the first fight as a person,
as a fighter, do you respect him more than you did then?
What a crazy, crazy world we live in today.
Just remember, the question was,
do you respect Connor Ben as a person or a fighter more now
after the first fight than you did?
Because I have a feeling.
Chris Eubank Jr. is not going to say a word about that.
Just going to say whatever he wants here.
For my entire life as a professional fighter,
I have been the villain and the bad guy.
14 years and 38 fights of people loving to hate me.
But, you know, I don't want to get ahead of myself,
but from what I'm seeing online nowadays
and the interactions I'm having with, you know,
people all over the world in the streets,
I don't know if I'm that guy anymore.
It's not just boxing fans that are approaching me now.
It's little girls, elderly folk, housewives, people that really have nothing to do with boxing.
And they are all, you know, they're all greeting me.
They're all wishing me the best of luck.
First off, yeah, this is exactly what I thought would happen.
Chris is not going to say a single word about the question he was asked.
But look at Eddie.
Eddie's like, what is he talking about?
Connor is already like, fuck this, dude, what is he saying?
Like, no one's paying attention, and he's just in full monologue mode.
I love it.
The funny thing is, if you speak to this side of the table,
Eddie Hearn will tell you, as he told the world, after the fight,
that Connor Ben is, in fact, the People's Champ.
I mean, wow, that is, uh, that's incredible.
Connor Ben, you did it, are kid?
The People's champ.
All right, so I kind of wondered coming into this, are we going to be a little more respectful with each other?
Is this going to be more of like a cop aesthetic?
Hey, we went to war.
We shed blood.
There's a bitter respect there.
The answer is no.
I mean, I'm sure there is competitive respect, but the answer as far as like, are they going to be nicer this time around is no.
We already started with the troll in here.
The people's champ, Connor, yeah?
Way to go, kid.
You did it.
One thing I know for sure is that, you know, Conner, you know, Conner.
of Ben, he put on a great fight. He went out there and he did what I did not expect him to do.
But, you know, I'm going to tell you right here and now, you ain't no champ.
And you most definitely ain't no people's champ. So get that out of your head.
You keep letting Eddie Hearn blow smoke up your ass and you're going to end up being even more of an embarrassment than he is.
Ooh, my Lord. Okay. So, yeah, this is, this is, I are.
already know where this is going to go. This is going to be Chris
Eubank Jr. versus Eddie Hearn again in these press conferences. And to be honest,
it sometimes is better that way because
Connor Ben just gets tired of it and doesn't want to do the back and forth
anymore. But again, Ubang Jr. is not giving up on this just
persistent attack of Eddie Heard. He, from the first fight to now,
he is just on Eddie's ass, dude. He's not letting it breathe over there.
These men are not men of the people. They are pretending.
They're pretending to be the good guys.
wolves in sheep's clothing, if you will.
They will do anything they can.
They will screw over anybody they can.
They will cut any corners.
They will break any rules they can
to try and get ahead.
Ruthless, immoral, and without restraint,
these men are.
They did everything they could
to try and destroy me in this last fight.
contract breaches, fines, rehydration clauses, sabotage weigh in, biased commentary and
refereeing.
Oh, my God.
The list goes on.
Why?
All right.
So just quickly, I didn't listen to the commentary because Jordy and I were doing our own
show.
I don't know about the bias that was in the commentary or the refereeing.
I'm not exactly sure what happened there.
But he also accuses Eddie, I assume.
He said the people on the other side, I guess he means Eddie,
when he talks about the sabotaged way-ins,
which I do remember, I don't know what happened with the way-in,
but that Chris missed weight by 0.05 or something like that,
or 0.5, half a pound?
I don't know what it was.
And they fined him $500,000.
But that wasn't an Eddie Hearn thing, I don't think.
I think that was the British Boxing Board of Control,
which was crazy to find him that amount of money for it.
But then he made rehydration weight,
which again, I'm not a fan of rehydration weight.
I think they're very detrimental to someone's health.
But Eubane Jr. did sign a contract that allowed them to do that.
So, you know, you can complain about it.
And rightfully so, but just know that it's something that you agreed to do.
You know what I'm saying?
Even on fight night, they blocked my team from coming to the stadium for 30 minutes.
And then when I arrive, they have security walking in front of my car,
trying to slow me down and stormy as much as possible to make me late.
I've never heard so much waffle in all my life.
You're going to hear a lot more.
No, no, no.
You're going to hear a lot more.
You know, it's incredible.
This does sound a little crazy.
You know, again, this could be mind games, and it probably is,
just trying for Chris Eben, Juner, just to try to wind up.
Eddie Hearn and Connor and get them all out of sorts.
And if that's the case, he's probably going to be successful.
But there's a certain line you can't really, like, the accusations are getting pretty,
specific. Talking about having security guards walk in front of his van and delay this, delay that,
sabotage this. I'm trying to look at this from an unbiased perspective. I don't know how Eddie would
do any of that. So again, it could just be completely, and it probably is, Chris Eubang Jr. just winding
him up. But you got to be careful how far you go with that, because we know in this game,
especially Frank Warren doesn't play around with that stuff. Frank Warren will light you up and take you
to court over claims made against Queensberry and himself.
And if you guys remember, way back last, I think it was last year,
Ubang Jr. said something about Frank Warren being a scumbag,
and he immediately put the kibosh on that.
He was like, uh, what, you sure?
And it was a, it was a tense situation, we'll just say.
But Chris, he's going to go right up to that line and sometimes maybe step over just to
poke Eddie and to get him all out of sorts.
All the levels that these guys will stoop to.
I finally get into the stadium.
Get into my change room.
I'm preparing.
They're sending idiots to try and.
distruct me in my changing room.
We get through that.
I go out there, outside these walls,
and I win the fight.
Now, after the fight, due to severe dehydration,
I'm put in an ambulance and I have to go to hospital.
I was actually so dehydrated that one of the toenails
on my big toe fell off.
It actually fell off.
It's growing back about half a hospital.
way now, but anyway, I'm in disambulies.
It's not a toenail.
Not a toenail.
I like the gamesmanship going back and forth here.
This is 100% who can control the narrative of this press conference.
You're seeing it in real time.
You're seeing the mind games in real time.
I don't know if Chris Eubang Jr.
lost his toenail because of dehydration.
I don't even know if that's a thing that can happen.
But I have lost the toenail before, and that shit does fucking hurt.
Mine I lost because I played in a wet rain game in American football and it kept jamming into the front of my shoe and it ended up popping up and having to be removed.
But I have no idea of the validity of these claims, but it's a weird one to throw in there for no other reason unless it was true.
It would be tough to fight on, let alone, you know, train with or whatever, a broken or lost toenail.
You still got it.
These scumbags blocked their ambulance from the...
leaving the stadium for 20 minutes.
Part of way.
This is an intrigue. I'll keep going because this is all being
noted because it's absolute waffle.
20 minutes. Waffle.
Woffel.
Waffle.
I'm laying there in a gurney.
Oxygen mask on
and the car cannot
move. They will not open the gates
to let us leave.
Sorry, who won't open
the gates? Now if
this was a serious injury
that I had sustained, that 20 minutes,
Chris, I want to know who wouldn't open the gates.
It's important.
That 20 minutes...
You can't answer that, can you?
Could have been the difference between life and death.
You talk shit, you do.
And while this was all happening...
That is, okay.
This is what I was talking about when I said.
These things can become a little bit...
You know, you can go a little too far with this.
Chris Eubank Jr. is alleging that Eddie Hearn, I assume, matchroom,
somehow stopped him from leaving the event.
Somehow had control of the gates in and out of Tottenham Hot Spurs Stadium.
and held him up for 20 minutes.
And he's insinuating that if it was a more severe injury than just dehydration,
that they would have been responsible for the difference between life and death.
This is what I was talking about when I said,
you can only go so far with that kind of stuff.
I don't know how stuff in the UK works versus in the U.S.,
but libel and slander, I feel like, is, I mean,
he's essentially saying that they wouldn't let him leave and go get treatment.
Like they were preventing him on purpose from getting medical aid.
That is crazy to say
And I can't believe that's true at all
Like that one I
The whole toenail thing maybe
But that one you can't even like
Okay buddy
No shot that's true
But again Chris is walking right over that line right now
And Eddie, he said it
He said listen I'm making sure you
You get held accountable for this
It's funny
But at some point
You have to be like all right
You can't just allege everything
And say outright that they're the ones doing it
That's crazy
Connor Ben and Eddie Hearn are in here talking to the media lying about how I had a broken jaw,
and that was the reason why I was going to hospital.
Bullshit artists of the highest...
Chris, can we get one thing clear?
Can you just confirm that you are accusing us?
Yes. I am...
Matchroom?
Yes.
Okay, say it.
You guys brought me from getting out.
Say it.
Say it.
You know, because...
Match room.
Who else?
Okay.
Go on, say it.
Why was I, say it.
Why was I in an ambulance for 15 minutes?
Say that Matchroom stopped you from going to the hospital.
I was like what?
So you can try and sue me if you're not at all.
Not at all right, but that's, I think you're talking about the wrong guy.
You know, say it.
What?
Was that a shot at Jake Paul?
He said, well, so you can sue me.
I think you're talking about the wrong guy.
I mean, he kind of did say it.
He didn't say it like in a full sentence, but he not only alluded to Matroon, but he said
Eddie, and then he said the guy's over there.
And then when Eddie said, is it,
Matchroom you're talking about, he said yes.
I mean, completely insane to say, for sure.
And then he goes, who else could it have been?
It was probably just the fact that the security and everybody was leaving the event and the streets were flooded and they were trying to get everybody.
It was probably just a complete miscommunication and people not being able to do their jobs well in a crowded area.
More likely than anything else.
To allege that like Matrum is not letting you go and get medical aid is crazy.
These are the levels.
You talk shit.
These are the levels of...
We stopped you from going because your toenail was falling off.
These people...
...verty old now.
Eddie, the last time you were up here,
you were talking about how famous and popular you were,
even more famous than me.
Not, that's impossible.
You're the people's champ.
You said it.
No, you're getting stopped by grannies and children
who are throwing themselves out you, like you're the Pope.
It's incredible.
And even with half a toenail.
I can't believe it.
But that's interesting.
The fact is, you're telling us...
We, this is, this is what I thought it would be.
This has become the, the Chris Eugabe Jr. versus Eddie Heard show.
And you know what?
This time around, Eddie is actually giving it back to him a little bit.
Like Chris is, you know, doing the thing where he's like,
Eddie's a scumbag and here's why.
Some of that stuff kind of crazy.
But Eddie is giving it to him a little bit.
He's like, you know, I can't be the most popular man out because you've got women
and children fawning over you like the Pope.
This buildup to this fight is going to be insane.
I just hope that Connor gets a word in edgewise.
because he's the one fighting.
I know Eddie is probably one of the best talkers and promoters in boxing,
but Connor got to say something too.
Connor got to,
you know what I'm saying?
He got to get in there.
He's the one that's going to be fighting.
On fight night,
it's going to be him and Chris Eugabe Jr.
Not Eddie and Chris Eubank.
But you don't talk shit about things that you want to fantasize better.
It's not.
I know the truth.
No, it's not.
Listen,
you've already accused us of stopping your ambulance from going to the hospital.
That's fair enough.
We'll see.
That's what happened.
We'll see.
That's what happened.
Okay, we will see, my friend.
Listen, you know.
That's crazy.
He's doubling and tripling down on it.
That's wild.
Again, I don't know what proof that Chris Eubank Jr. would have that match room was like not wanting
him to go to the hospital.
That's insane.
Maybe I'm the one that's missing something here, but I, that's, I feel like that's a pretty
serious claim.
I've had a hard day's work in your life.
All right.
And you've only had one.
And that was the last time.
Let me tell you're going to have a real hard night's work on November 15.
Your multi-million pound estate writing up contracts to fleas fighters out of as much money.
We'll see, Chris.
We'll see.
We will see. Of your accusations, you shall. We will see.
Talking about how we talk shit. We see through your games.
You don't know about the past.
You don't give a shit about anyone on nothing.
You don't know about it to use people.
We'll see.
That's the man you are.
Okay. We'll see.
Yeah, man. He is still, because he, you know, he's still talking about Eddie freezing fighters out of deals and some things that go on in the background.
There is still real animosity from his time with Eddie from his time.
I guess just around the boxing scene.
They just fucking hate each other.
Straight up.
I think Chris Eubank Jr. and Eddie Hearn
hate each other more than Chris Eubank Jr. and Connor Bend do.
And in that same token, I would like to see a reality TV show
or some sort of back and forth.
When they do the face-to-face, honestly, at this point,
I'd rather see Chris Eugank Jr. and Eddie sit down for the face-to-face.
Because look at Connor!
Look at him!
He's like, what the fuck am I doing here?
What is this shit?
We will see it.
We will.
Connor, quick one to you.
As your opinion changed on Chris Eubank Jr.,
I mean, I take my half to him, you know, because you need a dancing partner, and he was that for me.
Did I underestimate him?
I did I generally thought I'd knock him out, three, four rounds on my heart.
Chris, shut up, man.
That's what.
I need more of that just poking and prodded.
Chris Euget, to me, would have a better option and a better success rate, just poking at Connor.
Because Eddie can kind of give it back to him.
Connor is not good with, you know, the back and forth.
He doesn't really want to do that.
And I think you could get the same way he got him over emotional in the first press conferences for the first fight.
I think he could try to do the same in the second and see how much Connor Ben has learned.
See how much he learned from the loss, you know?
Because all it did was make Connor Ben want to go in there and take Eubanks head off.
Like the way he was swinging, it felt like every punch had some emotion in it from the things that were said, from the egg on the head, from all of it.
And it just felt like Chris had done such a master class job of doing mental gymnastics and,
and lapping, running circles around Connor
in the back and forth of the press conference
that he had gotten him so wound up
that that was the result.
I think he would try to do it again,
but instead he's gone after Eddie year.
You know, so underestimated him,
but, you know, he gave me one hell of a fight
and it was one hell of a fight.
And, yeah, I'm excited for next time around, to be honest, mate.
Well, let's see it from...
You know, this was the first time in my life
that I've ever seen a fighter lose
and then go on some type of victory tour, this guy.
No, there was no victory.
There was no victory talk.
We were buying cards.
No, that is your car that gave me.
That was the 500 grand for your unprofession that gave me that car.
You flew over to America.
You're taking pictures of people.
Oh, I'm just so, I'm so grateful for the love and the support.
The fans are showing me.
You're going on like you won.
You do understand you lost, right?
John me to finish.
He had all 10 toenails.
You do understand you lost, right?
I mean, the...
He had all 10 toenails, though.
Now, I didn't look at it as Connor
been doing a, you know,
victory tour. Now, him buying the car and everything
and flexing on Chris after Christmas
wait, that was kind of crazy.
But at the same time, they all
knew they were going to have a rematch. And Connor, I think,
felt well about how he did.
You know, he felt like, even if he
lost the fight, he damaged up
Chris Eubank Jr. big time in that fight.
And he didn't have a lot of damage on, you know, on himself.
Again, I interviewed him three days later.
I guess I was a part of the victory tour.
I interviewed him like three or four days later and he looked fine.
But I will say, again, to my point earlier, I felt like both men got accepted more.
Chris Eugn Jr. was accepted as the people's champion that night, for sure.
And in the UK, he was the hero of that night.
But Connor Ben, I thought, earned a lot more respect back that he may have lost from the PED incident,
from all the things that came with that.
and having to reschedule this fight,
I think he earned a lot of respect back.
Maybe not all of it.
Certainly not all of it.
And there's definitely people that don't like him still
and maybe never will.
But the way he fought that night,
I thought earned a lot of respect.
Both men.
I was ready to listen,
Chris, the reality is,
while you were sipping food for a straw,
I was back in the gym after the fight,
ready for September 20th.
Why was you not ready?
We was locked in September 20th.
So if you want to talk about a little tour,
I was training meanwhile.
What were you doing?
I was a living wife,
my friend.
Exactly.
So what you just said,
Stoopy, man.
I don't care if you were ready.
Listen, I don't care.
Ultimately,
we fight on November 15th, mate.
And, um, yeah.
That was a nasty line from Connor Ben.
He said, while you were sipping fruit through a straw after our fight, I was back training.
Again, he did lose and Chris Eubang Jr. did win, but that's a nasty line.
And it talks about, again, I don't know if that sipping through the straw, whatever.
But it does lend to my point that Chris Eubank Jr.
He won the battle.
He won the fight.
But Connor Ben, with a rematch,
Claws in place might have, we'll see, again, because Beaumack now is in the corner of Chris Eubank Jr.
But he might have won the war. The way he damaged up, Chris Eubank Jr. He's not a young guy.
He is going to have to cut all that weight again. And maybe the skills will pay the bills the
same way in the second fight as they did in the first. And Conner Ben just doesn't have the skills.
Just isn't the skill level of Chris Eubank plus the weight. That might have an effect.
I mean, we're turning this fight around in the same year. It may have an effect.
And more of the damaging shots were landed by Chris Eubank Jr. But the more damaging shots,
Notice there's a difference there.
The more damaging shots were landed by Connor Ben in that fight.
More of them were landed by Ubank Jr.,
but the more damage was landed by Conor Ben.
But again, Chris Eubank gets to talk that talk.
He's like, yeah, you were getting ready, I was living life.
That's what winners get to do.
They kind of do set the precedent.
They get to establish, determine when they want to come back.
And that's what Chris Eubank gets for winning.
In all the fights that I promoted with Chris,
that rematch against Liam Smith was the most focused,
was the most dedicated was the best Chris Eubank Jr. I have seen and I think Chris will be
doing it in even more emphatic fashion on November.
Congratulations, BOMAC. I mean, the performance Terrence put on against Canella the other day
was exceptional. So, congratulations to you and the Terrence group.
I'll see everyone. Everyone give it up with it.
Yeah, man. I mean...
BOMAC joining this team changes almost everything for this.
this fight. And again, Chris Eubank Jr. has really never stayed consistent with a trainer,
and somehow he's able to be successful doing that. I don't even know how that's possible.
But it does add a lot to this camp. It adds a lot of technique, a lot of skill, a lot of mastery
of distance, timing, everything else that Chris already has, but with a commander in chief
in the corner, Beaumack versus Tony Sims, and all that wealth of knowledge, man, Chris was already,
I thought technically better, clearly than Connor Ben. This is going to add so much.
Despite the setback for Connor Ben in April,
what do you believe changed about the way he is seen within the boxing world?
Well, just firstly, Jamie, obviously, just a couple of...
You might...
I'm not, Eddie.
30 seconds about Ricky Hatton.
No, there's no...
Chris, Chris, one second.
You know the drill.
Chris, Chris.
You know the drill.
I'm not going to say...
You are, some asshole, you are.
Anything you say...
Okay, then don't listen to any...
I'm an asshole, I'm a bad guy.
No, no.
I'm in this.
All I was going to do is say a few words about Ricky Hatton.
Okay.
Okay, I won't say anything about...
Let's move on with the press conference.
You're an arsele.
You talk shit.
You get what's coming to you.
It doesn't matter.
You can do that.
We know the drill.
Jamie?
Let's move on.
Okay.
You know what?
I want to talk about something else.
Forget Eddie.
I want to talk about the British boxing border control.
Yeah, I'm not going to lie.
This is a terrible look for Chris.
For a couple of reasons.
Number one, Eddie Hearn, I guess, wanted to say like a quick thing
about Ricky Hatton, which again, I think everybody in the UK at this moment, their hearts mourn
for Ricky Hatton. And if Eddie wanted, I know they already did the tribute, if Eddie wanted to say
something just a personal anecdote to commemorate the life and honor, Ricky, that that would
have been something I think that would have been appropriate because of the recent passing.
Chris, he didn't obviously know that Eddie was going to start that way, but he also did this
the entire first time around with Eddie,
where he wouldn't let him talk, wouldn't let him talk.
Now, I've seen some people online saying,
oh, well, this was Eddie's way of trying to make Chris look bad.
I don't think, again, I don't,
I'm never known Eddie to be that kind of guy
to try to use Ricky Hatton's recent death
to try to make Chris Eubank Jr. look bad
by starting his, you know, whatever he was going to say with,
let me just say this about Ricky Hatton,
so Chris would interrupt him.
I don't think that's, I think we're going too deep to look at it that way.
I just think Chris didn't realize,
is what Eddie was either saying to begin with,
but then Eddie said it a couple times,
and he said, I just want to say a quick thing about Ricky Hatton
and Chris Eubank continuing to interrupt him.
That's not a great look.
Again, I don't know if he heard Eddie was saying this stuff about
when he was like, hey, I just want to say this about Ricky
and then you can do whatever you want to do.
But Chris, he's got to drop the act just for a second, right?
You do need to show some damn respect for Ricky Hatton in that moment.
And that's what Eddie was trying to do.
So I don't rate that from Chris Eugbeg, Jr.
I don't like that.
And then we had a tweet come out after
where Matrum tweeted,
Eddie Hearn tries to say a few words
about Ricky Hatton with the shrug face.
And Chris Eubank Jr. underneath it says,
imagine trying to use Ricky Hatton's passing
as a way to try and get to talk at a press conference.
New Lowe from Hearn here.
I apologize on Eddie's behalf.
Awesome tribute to Ricky at the start of the presser, though.
He really was a legend.
Thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Again, you're still playing games here.
I cannot rate this at all.
I think this is Chris thinking that Eddie is playing games with him, so he's going to play games back, right?
Where he's like, oh yeah, they already did the Presser tribute.
You know, great, awesome tribute at the start of the Presser,
but Eddie is trying to use him to get a word off in a press conference.
Again, I'm not sure how close Eddie Hearn was to Ricky Hatton,
but either way, that was just a, that was not a great look for Chris, Eumbang Jr. there.
Even if Eddie wasn't being sincere, even if it was just to get a word off edgewise at the press conference.
The fact that you're not letting him do that when it's about Ricky Hatton, that just doesn't look good for him.
And again, I don't think Eddie was doing it just to get a word in edgewise.
I don't think that's the way that was going.
I want to talk about the British boxing border control.
And more specifically, a man by the name of Robert Smith, this is the big boss behind the scenes, the head honcho.
the man with all the power
that controls everything that goes on
in professional boxing inside the United Kingdom
Jesus.
This guy's a big deal, he really is.
Now this idiot
allowed a room full of media
and cameramen
into my private way in the day before the fight.
Is this when you were sabotaged again?
In the time that it took
to get these people out contributed to me missing the weight.
Chris, you turned up over an hour late.
And getting fine 500K.
You turned up over an hour late.
So now Chris is calling,
I assume the head of the British Boxing Board of Control,
Robert Smith, an idiot,
and saying that them allowing,
I guess he's referring to Mattroom's cameras
to come into his locker room
while he was trying to weigh in.
I'm pretty sure he did show up over an hour late.
I'm not sure what the reasoning was for that.
But anyway, all of that stuff,
He's now going after the British boxing bullet control, which I know doesn't play lightly because they hand him down a $500,000 fine for him missing weight.
So again, I respect, I guess, for speaking your truth, but you might want to fight your battles here, Chris.
I don't know who, what kind of enemies you want to make, but it's certainly not the people that are trying to sanction your fight, right?
Connor Ben fight in gloves filled with horse hair, knowing it was a direct breach of the contract I had for this fight.
There was a, I wonder what gloves Connor Ben was not allowed to wear through the contract.
Again, we will never see the lie today with these contracts.
But I assume the horsehair gloves were Clayto Reyes's or MX Hugo's or MXxels or something.
I don't know.
It's been clear.
Floyd Mayweather at one point did not want to fight against guys wearing horsehair gloves.
And obviously Chris didn't either.
I don't know again, if that was in the contract or not.
I have no idea.
On fight night, he personally escorted an arch nemesis of mine, Billy Joe Saunders, to my changing
room to disrupt and try and ruin my preparations for the biggest fight of my life.
Now, again, I don't know why.
If you guys remember, this was a story as well.
And some of this stuff that I'm starting to remember, Chris Eubang Jr. is telling the truth on,
why was Billy Joe Saunders even close to Chris Eubank Jr.'s locker room?
that night. Someone, I remember there was like, oh, he's going to be there to inspect the gloves,
but you have to be an accredited part of the corner. I'm pretty sure of your opponent to come in and
inspect gloves or inspect hand wraps. I might have been handwraps. Billy Joe Saunders was none of those
things. And I remember him just like trying to walk up in the locker room and then
pre-sure Chris Emaing Jr.'s manager stopped him. That was a bit of an odd situation. I don't know why that
was made available. So I'm kind of on Chris's side with that one. What was the point of having
and Billy Joe Saunders coming to the locker room other than to cause a distraction.
Mind game, sure, but like that one didn't make any sense for Billy Joe to be in there in the first place.
And afterwards, he gets into the ring and is trying to shake my hand and congratulate me.
I mean, the ball's on this guy.
It's viciously clear for me to see that this toad is nothing more than a puppet and a porn.
I think he is in the back pockets of matrim.
Wow.
another one that's got it in for you.
Absolutely.
You are so unlucky with everything.
So unfortunately, just another scumbag in this...
Oh, wow, you're calling the chairman of the British Boxing Board of Controller's scumbag.
We find ourselves in.
The mask is slipping, Christopher.
I mean, again, you're making some powerful enemies when you go out and call the
sanctioning body for all British professional boxing bouts, a scumbag-toed puppet that's in
the back pocket of Eddie Hearn.
I, again, I don't know the intricate...
details of the people and the fighters and their relationship with the British Boxing Board of
Control. I definitely don't know if there's like, I definitely am not clued into like corruption
and all of these types of things. I know in the United States there was massive corruption
in boxing in the early days, which is why it's federally regulated in the United States.
And the only sport, I think it's federally regulated in the U.S. But I don't know what the dealings
are over in the UK. So people in the comments are going to have to let me know.
Is Chris Eubeng Jr. speaking facts when he talks about the BBB of the U.S.?
or is he, as Eddie Hearn said, is he waffled?
The board have graciously awarded me with a multitude of fines over the last six months.
And my question is, where is this money going?
You know, the Boxing Board of Control, they're supposed to be supporting the foundations
and governing the...
the community of boxing in Great Britain.
So in my eyes, the money that I've been fine
should be going to the community.
Should be going to kids that can't afford equipment.
It should be going to local gyms.
The money should be going to fighters
who have suffered injuries, medical bills.
But as far as I can see it, that's not happening.
The money simply seems to be lining the pockets
Fat Katz on the board like Robert Smith.
Don't worry.
Don't worry, Ben.
It's okay.
Ben Shalom is like,
yo, you got to chill.
We got to answer for this stuff, bro.
They still have to approve your fight.
And again, there are some accusations flying right here,
and I don't know.
That seems pretty severe to ask that kind of stuff.
And again, maybe he's right.
Maybe there is some massive conspiracy about where this money goes.
I would assume, I don't know this,
that any money collected in fines and regulations from any sanctioning body
goes into further work that the sanctioning body can do,
whether it's providing new jobs,
whether it's providing the services of sanctioning events
and, you know, retaining drug testing equipment
or retaining all the necessary transport funding for, you know,
making sure the weigh-ins are correct,
making sure tallies are being correct,
paying, you know, officials and all that's, I assume that's what happened. But like, I don't know
for sure. I don't really know what that goes to. I just assume that's the same thing. It's
reinvested into the work that the British Boxing Board of Control has to continue doing. I don't
know though. It's like asking where my taxes go. I have no fucking idea. I just hope that it goes
to the right places and that it helps me out in the future by funding things that make my life
easier. I don't know though. Asking some questions here, Chris.
Just been informed in my year a special message from his excellent C-Turkey L. Sheikh who says that Eddie Hearn is more popular than Chris Eubank Jr. because he has his own Netflix documentary.
That's good news. Chris can watch that tonight. Six episodes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We all know about that how you're postering me all over your train.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
H.E called in to tell the presenter that Eddie was more popular.
Listen, H. H.E. is always looking to find ways to stir a little bit more of that beef, to turn the screw just.
just a little bit more and get these guys riled up.
I don't mind it.
I actually think it adds a little bit to these press conferences.
That's a nice little one-liner.
He knew Eddie was going to jump all over that.
Immediately promoted when it was out.
I got to watch it, by the way, but okay,
A.G., getting in the mix.
Yeah, yeah.
The guy that doesn't deserve to be here and you're using me in all your trailers for me.
I know.
It's okay.
You made me a lot of money in that documentary.
One thing was amazing.
We've got the people's champ.
You've got six episodes, five hours of working where you can pull your plonker off in
Bryant and all that.
night to that, he would be loving it. A scumbag promoter who uses other fighters
to propel yourself to propel yourself, loses toenails, everything. You're so famous,
you talk more than your fighters do. Look at you. That's my job. Connor hasn't said a word.
He doesn't want to say, because he's bored listening to you about Robert Smith,
moaning like a baby as the mast slips. Jamie, over to you. I'm talking. Be quiet. You shut your
mouth down there, you. Nobody wants to hear you talk. Netflix. It's out now. Enjoy the episodes. Thank you.
I don't watch it, mate.
Come on.
Eddie got a little bit heated with him, just a little bit.
Jamie, back over to you.
Okay, my man, presenter's name's Jamie, sorry for not knowing.
He said, you shut your mouth, you got just a little fist.
Again, Ubank Jr. wanting to get under his skin.
That's been the entire plan this entire time, and it's starting to work a little bit.
Eddie keeps saying the mask is slipping, the mask is slipping.
Both guys are saying that each other is the fake nice guy.
Both guys are saying that the other one is hiding what they really are and trying to play up a character.
It's almost a Spider-Man meme with these two at this point.
What was the difference between the pair of you, Chris, in your own words?
What was Connors undoing in April?
I'm a better fighter than him.
They keep talking about weights.
He hasn't fought at the well-of-way for nearly four years.
How many times did you hear Terence Crawford talking about the weight divisions he's coming up,
fighting Canella who's fought at light-heavyweight?
And there was no rehydration causes in that fight.
So it's pretty embarrassing the amount of times
that these guys consistently talk about weight.
I will say, the more that I think about that fight,
the fact that Terrence came up to 168,
didn't ask for a rehydration.
Again, Canelo is not a big 168-pounder, so I get it.
He's a dog for that, though, man.
I know that I've said it before,
and I said it during the fight, and I said it after the fight,
but just it's insane to watch him just go, yeah, I'll do that,
and have that kind of performance at Canello's weight.
where he's the undisputed champ, stupid.
They had nothing to do with the weight.
I am the better, more experienced, more dedicated fighter.
That's why he didn't beat me,
and that's why he shall not beat me in November.
How do you do it, Connor?
How do you beat Chris Eubank, Jr.?
Less greed.
You know, when I had him hurt in there,
I mean, he's going to say I didn't have him hurt.
When I thought I had him hurt, you know,
it was just too greedy in there.
I'm looking for the headshot.
Did you guys see that?
I'm sorry, I know I keep pausing, but do you see that Connor is like doing this thing where,
and I don't know if that it's even conscious,
but he's doing this thing where he worries almost about what Chris Eubank Jr. is going to say
about what he said and then reframes it before Eubank Jr. even brings it up.
I think that's how Chris Eubank Jr. is winning these mental games.
He's gotten Connor Ben in his head so much that any time he says something,
he's like, well, Chris is going to say that I didn't do that, so let me correct it.
Correct it. Why? Just say what you feel.
If you think you heard him, yeah, I had him hurt.
He could say whatever he wants.
I know when I looked in his eyes, he was glossed over and it wasn't there.
The noodle legs were going crazy.
Instead of like, ah, well, he's going to say it,
so I might as well correct it ahead of time.
That's the middle game that's going on,
and that's why Chris Eubank is winning those middle games.
Game plan went out of the win as soon as I hit him in the third round.
It was a matter of, it felt like I was always one punch away from closing the show.
And I was looking for that one punch.
you know and um yeah he looked vulnerable in there he looked vulnerable at some stages he looked old
and um you know i was too busy getting in there trying to hurt him um over getting the winds
what makes you laugh chris when you hear that old and vulnerable and this old man's talking about
he wobbled me four or five times you just got to watch it you just got to watch the fight you just got
watch the fight no stages you hurt me in there the delusion of these guys it's just watch it's not
delusion if you can physically see it
It's breathtaking. It really is.
You know, yes, you caught me with a few shots.
Let's be clear.
Connor did hurt him and wobble him with at least two or three shots in the fight.
On two or three separate occasions, I think it was two.
Connor Ben hit him with punches that did make him wobble.
His feet, his legs were loose.
He was on his feet and he was still conscious and he was still in the fight, but he was hurt.
But what Chris is doing here, and it's genius,
he's making Connor question his own eyes, question his own eyes.
question his own belief in what happened in the first fight.
Even though the physical evidence is out there,
he's still playing the mind game to be like,
okay, whatever you think, Connor.
Yeah, no, sure, sure, you wobbled me, Connor, whatever you think.
And he kind of like snickers and laughs and drops that, like, confidence.
Like, yeah, okay, that's what you think, cool.
And it just is a little seed of doubt, just a little bit.
I don't know if he's doing it on purpose, but I think that's genius.
I've thought that you bought Beaumack in because I know you know you need it.
and he's a great coach. You're a great coach,
Bermack, and I've got love for you, mate, but you can't polish a turd.
Apologies.
One sentence. One sentence, prediction, Connor, just fine.
Can't polish a turd. Okay, Connor, talk your shit.
That's what we want to hear, man.
Although, again, I don't know what that makes Connor,
because he lost to the Eving Juniors, though.
Do you like diarrhea? I don't know.
And for you, Chris, final sentence, what happens in the Raymatch?
How do you do it?
Again, the parliamentary will be the procedure.
Oh, oh.
Oh no! He was doing so well. He was doing so well. He's always been perfect with the...
That's the signature family line. You can't mess that one up. He said the parliamentary will be procedure.
No!
The procedure.
Oh, the master got gone.
The master will be the Matador.
The problem. This man will be the ball.
Thank you for your TED talk, Chris. This has been a pleasure.
He will be running around that ring.
You've got a stinger.
To employ all the new techniques.
Oh, I don't want to go out there and wear my heart on my sleeve and win my punches.
So I'm going to box and we're going to have this strategy.
All that stuff is going to go out of the window as soon as that first little right hand connects on his chin.
And after that, we're going to have fun in there, baby, like I always do.
What Chris Eubank Jr. just said is, I think, a super important point.
He's like, yeah, they're going to go and try to box.
They're going to go and act like they're going to be technical from the outside.
behind the jab, but as soon as I land, he's going to throw that all out the window.
And I actually think that's a good point.
I think if Connor Ben truly has learned from the first fight, he'll be able to quell that
fire and you know it's in there.
Of losing to Chris Eubank Jr., of being close to, in his mind, close to knocking him
out, in his mind being the guy that damaged Chris Eubank Jr. more.
So the moment that Eubank lands on him, maybe points a glove at him, taunts him a little bit,
does Connor Ben stay within his composure?
Does he stay locked into his game plan?
Or does that inexperienced show again?
And he throws it out of the window and we're going to have a scrap.
That's something to watch.
But that's the end of the press conference.
Take a look at the face off here.
Nothing crazy in the face off this time.
Both guys kept their distance.
No eggs, none of that.
Maybe we'll get some crazy stuff on the next one.
But I think a mutual understanding that we can't let them get too close,
Chale's Son and Voice.
But there you go.
Nice little face off.
Again, it is crazy the size difference.
That's just height, but also the weight.
Like, Connor doesn't even look close to the same weight class.
There it is, man.
What a press conference.
What a kickoff press conference.
And things did indeed kickoff here.
I want you guys to tell me in the comments below,
what was your big takeaway from this thing?
Was it the fact that Chris Eubang Jr.
went off on not just Eddie Hearn,
not just Connor Ben,
but the British Boxing Board of Control
alluded to some things being purposely done
to keep him in the worst.
shape possible before the fight and after the fight.
Connor Ben's saying he's going to fight with less emotion and with more control,
with more technique.
Do you believe that?
And even if so, can he overcome his last performance and the fact that Chris Eubank Jr.
is going to have Beaumack in the corner.
I don't have any of these answers.
But I know November 15th is going to be a classic.
An instant classic, just like the first one is.
Who wins?
I don't have those answers.
But I guess we'll find out.
There we go.
Breaking news.
Finally, folks.
Raja Jackson has been arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department on felony assault charges,
which is not something that normally I would celebrate, but if you know, you know,
because this was a brutal.
I'm just going to say this.
I don't think the charges are high enough.
I don't think the charges are severe enough.
It was a brutal assault that took place, what was it now, a couple of weeks ago.
We were all sat here wondering why he hasn't been arrested.
Why has the LAPD not done something?
when we watched a man on live stream beat a man senseless over and over 23 or 24 unanswered
punches even whilst people around him are trying to stop him from attacking an unconscious
individual slumped at a wrestling show he keeps firing and we just didn't have any answer why hasn't he been
arrested what is going on well we now know and by the way shout out to andreas hail big shout to
this guy he is killing it with the articles i know this was first reported by TMZ um but here he is on
ESPN. Rajah Jackson, son of former UFC champion Quentin Rampage Jackson, has been arrested on
a felony assault charge following a brutal attack of a pro wrestler. So this is Psycho Stu.
We know this. If you followed this, this is Stuart Smith, his actual name, who Raja attacked.
And again, it was a part of a pro wrestling event here in Los Angeles called Knox Pro Wrestling.
There was a misunderstanding where Stu did hit Raja with an.
empty beer can in a worked way. It was not in any way a hard punch or a hard hit. Thought that
Roger was a pro wrestler when he found out he wasn't. He apologized profusely. Roger accepted said
apology. The dumbass promoters over at Knox Pro were like, yeah, brother, we'll let you get it back
in the ring, talking to a man that already clearly has no idea what pro wrestling is and
wants some revenge. And is unstable. I'm just going to say it. Rajah seemed unstable to even be there.
He was getting rage baited by his chat. The chat was telling him he was a pussy.
and he wasn't going to do nothing.
His own dad is calling him a bitch and all this.
It's not good.
So that just flowed over and Raja got in
and did some very unspeakable things.
Damn near killed this guy.
I'll be honest, I can't believe.
And maybe it's just because it's harder to prove
that there's not an attempt murder charge here.
Maybe I just don't know the letter of the law
how hard it is to prove attempted murder.
But what else do you give a guy
for repeatedly punching an unconscious individual
with no sense of stopping?
I mean, they tried to pull him off.
They tried to pull him off.
off Psycho Stute and he just keeps firing and keeps firing. He shucks him off, throws him,
and keeps firing. What else do you need? What, what else is the burden of proof there? And also,
before he goes on to just absolutely decimate this guy, he's in the chat talking about,
yeah, I'm a fuck him up, yeah. I mean, I guess you have the burden of like premeditation on that. I don't
know, but I don't know how this is not attempted murder. I'll be honest. But we keep going.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Jackson was arrested and booked on Thursday
morning and is being held at $50,000 bail. No further details of the pending case have been reached
as are revealed as of yet. So $50,000 bail. I don't know if, again, that's going to be, I mean,
that that's something that Rampage could probably pay out and get him out while they figure out
sentencing and all that. The arrest came nearly a month after Jackson 25 was caught on video
assaulting pro wrestler Stuart Smith, also known as Psycho Stu at the Knox X Pro Wrestling Academy in
Los Angeles. Jackson entered the ring, slammed Smith, and punched him until
he was unconscious. No, that's not true. He punched him even after he was unconscious. This is
our guy Andreas Hale. This is, this is, you know, great job covering the story, but let's,
let's make sure that the facts are actually submitted here. He slammed Smith. Smith then
became unconscious and then Raja Jackson continued punching him. He didn't punch him until he was
unconscious. Stu was unconscious on the fucking slam. So every punch after that was after he was
unconscious. The correct wording of this sentence would be Jackson slammed Smith, immediately
rendering him unconscious, and then punched him until several individuals had to drag him off.
That's the correct wording of that statement. Just so we're clear. Jackson was eventually pulled
off off of Smith by several other wrestlers and fled the academy, which is located in the Sun Valley
neighborhood of Los Angeles. Could that not also be a charge as well? Not only are we talking about him
assaulting this man, but then leaving the scene of the crime? Is that not something that can also be
charged here like fleeing the scene of a crime after what they're you know this is an article is saying
aggravated assault charges or no just felony assault charges i feel like that should be at least
something as well but yeah here is the video of raja being uh handcuffed handcuffed and let away
get his ass the fuck out of here get him out of here dang those are his neighbors filming him too
how long's he going to jail for i'm not sure look he's looking at his neighbors while
they're filming him. Buddy, I'm glad you got us this evidence. But knowing Raja Jackson, as soon as he
gets out, he's coming for you. Probably wasn't the smartest thing to film him while you live next to it.
Finally, we have at least some form of justice. I'm not even going to show the video again because
the video is just brutal. But if you didn't know, let me see if I can find some of the things
that I'm trying to find what the actual medical issues that Stu had because of that. This is from
TMZ, the wrestler who had gotten in a spat with Raja just before the event, spent several days in the
hospital with numerous injuries, including fractured maxillibone. Not sure what that is. Thankfully,
he has been released and is recovering at home. Whatever that maxillabone is, fractured, multiple
broken teeth, apparently at one point choking on his own blood. Yet here we are talking about
almost a month later, it takes the LAPD to get this guy. And then, yes, you know, fantastic. We
have some charges brought. But I don't want to be that person that's like, it's not severe enough,
but is there a doubt in anybody's mind? He was just going to continue punching him until he got
tired, he meaning Raja. That was the only thing that was gonna stop him. That was the only thing that was
stopping Raja from punching him was he wasn't tired enough yet. And I know this because again,
I'm not gonna show the video because we've already showed it so many times, but there's multiple
instances where guys try to get Raja off of Stu and he's still whaling on him. And then he shoves the
people trying to get him off of him and goes back to whaling on it. So how, what other proof do we need?
On top of the fact that he's like telling the chat what he's about to do, Raja is very lucky that
psychost dude didn't die. He's very lucky, and that's crazy to say, but he is very, very lucky that
the supporters that were there to watch Knox Pro actually stepped in and stopped him. Had he been
left to do whatever he wanted to do, he would have killed him. No doubt in my mind he would
have killed him. Just in by proxy of training martial arts, you usually learn better self-control
because you understand the damage you and not only you can cause to others, but you can cause
to yourself or anybody else by just getting into a fight, let alone your skills to be able to
neutralize a threat. That usually makes you a little bit more controlled. Now there are again
examples that are not that. Some people are just absolutely insane. But when you have that skill set,
you almost have more of a responsibility to control yourself because you can end up like this.
All because he got rage baited by a bunch of freaking teenagers in a kick check. And by the way,
there were people online that were calling this a work. Now again, Rampage's son Raja was in the
wrestling ring because they had let him do that part. They did not allow him to do the other stuff.
They're like, oh, it's a work. He won't be in jrower. He won't be in jrash.
jail, y'all are idiots, y'all don't know how to, you don't know how to, uh, uh, delineate between real and fake.
Absolute morons. Nothing will come of this. Stupid. Stupid. This is why I'm, I'm, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
weep for the youth that actually can't realize when something staged and when something's real. I mean,
we've already talked about this, but how stupid do you got to be as a pro wrestling promotion to think,
oh, we're just going to make a, uh, a storyline out of this. We're just going to work this
a little bit. While this guy has no fucking clue what wrestling is, and he's already been set off by
his chat and by the incident that happened earlier in the day idiots dude and then and then the the
wrestling company telling it their own employees not to go to the police not to work with the police
to have everything run through them after they're the biggest fuck-ups in the situation outside of raja
to even allow this to happen bunch of scumbags man shut the whole fucking thing down and i know that
would put some people out of work but didn't learn their lesson when it happened tried to
hide information from the police shut them down breaking news update as we expected kind of
disappointedly so, Raza Jackson has already made bail. Not less than five hours after his
arrest yesterday. Raza Jackson has been released and Rampage Jackson says Raja doing okay after
arrest. He fucked up. I mean, we all know that Raja fucked up. And again, I'm not trying to
celebrate this young man, you know, being taken into custody, whatever. I just think that justice
needs to be served and what he did, we have seen no remorse for. We have seen no
statement of guilt for. We've seen
nothing but, my
bad, after he found out the guy
he assaulted, punched continuously
without stopping, may
have been seriously injured
and potentially could have died. All he said
was, y'all got to quit playing with me. So yeah,
I'm a little disappointed that immediately
right after he's arrested, he's back out.
Now he's on bond. 50K bond was posted.
Quentin Rampage Jackson
said his son was back home and doing okay
hours after he was booked for
felony battery.
So if I only battery case
On Thursday
Telling his buddies he's well aware of the fact that Raja fucked up
And again, here's the thing too
I don't necessarily envy
The spot Rampage Jackson is in right now
Because there's not much he can really say
I did not like Rampage's response
When this first hit the fan to immediately point the finger
at Psycho Stu and blame and point and this and that
And call it a work
It was all bad no responsibility accepted whatsoever
And then he kind of walked that back
and, you know, he's fucked up, my son fucked up, all this.
But a lot of the excuses and the place and the blame I did not like.
But again, it is his son and it is a tough spot to be in.
And maybe Rampage, you know, I don't want to get into their personal stuff,
but maybe the way he talks to his son needs to change now.
As it was clear, Raja was like trying to show how tough he was.
I don't know if that was to the audience or to his dad, but it was super weird.
Rampage went live on kick.
Why is he still doing that?
Following the 25-year-old's arrest and at one point he opened up on the aftermath of the Knox pro wrestling
scandal that left psychos do hospitalized i'm doing okay i'm holding up well rampage said adding he understands
the situation is no longer under his control he fucked up he fucked up he's gonna learn his lesson it is what
it is all i can do is be a dad he don't listen to me at the end of the day i can't he can't say i didn't do
what i was supposed to do as a dad he was held on fifty thousand dollar bond before getting out hours later
rampage isn't shied away from sharing his opinion on the matter feels rajan needs to serve time
again it almost reads like rampage is like yeah i did what i was supposed to do as a dad
and bailed him out. Okay, and he's right, you know, Rampage is doing what he can for his son.
Probably going to get him a good lawyer, but I also agree that, like Rampage said, he needs to
spend time in there. He needs to atone for this. It's inexcusable. He's a 25-year-old man.
This is not some kid. That just made a mistake. I hate that. I hate this whole like,
oh, kid made a mistake. Hey, he's a kid. No, that's a 25-year-old man. He can buy alcohol. He can rent a
He can buy a home. He can vote. That's an adult. And yes, people make mistakes, but a mistake is
You slam psycho stew on his head and you hit him once or twice
Realize uh-oh, I actually hurt this guy. I shouldn't start I should stop doing what I'm doing I should not continue hitting it
That's what a mistake is apologize seek to get him some help. He didn't make a mistake
He consciously chose to go in there and again
I think punch psycho stew until he got tired regardless of the outcome. I don't think there was any point in Raj's
head where he went, I might kill this guy. I need to stop. No, I think he was going to punch him
until he got tired enough to where he just physically couldn't. So no, I don't want to hear he made a mistake.
I don't want to hear he was a kid. I don't want to hear anger management. I want to hear jail time
and offering penance. That's what I want to hear. But seeing how Rampage responded to it, I only
can assume that Rajas would be just as bad. But anyway, that's the double breaking news.
We'll keep an eye on this situation. We'll see what happens next.
