 Going from a world boxing station now going to being a promoter, can you talk to me about that transition and the journey to making that part of your life? Okay, well now I'm a promoter and the transition is not really hard because I've got a good partner. So in having good people around you allow you to become who you are. Like, you know, like me starting boxing at the age of eight, it's the same thing, I had good people. So don't nobody really go nowhere by themselves. I'm telling you, even though boxing is boxing, everybody thinks it's an individual sport, but boxing works because you have a good team surrounding you. So everything that I became in life because I had formed a lot of good people around me. So now I'm in the boxing promotion, but I got a good group of people and so when you see that real deal entertainment, because it's not just me, but I'm the face and I do know, I know the fighters, I know how to pick out good fighters and me bringing something to the table, being able to come in there and being able to tell the fighters some things that they may not know, they may not understand right here at this time. Good fighters, they already, but of course I have to have a relationship with their previous coaches because the point of me, I've been there. A lot of people have never been world champion. I've been world champion four times, but it's a knowledge and understanding you have to give the young people and what what what I bring to the game of boxing is trying to bring it back and put quality fighters on it. And you know, not cheap, we can't cheat the fans. The fans want to see good fights. They say, even in the homestead fall to everybody because it didn't make a difference because I realized that you never lose if you don't quit. And so you have setback when setbacks pays away for a comeback. And but people actually pay the sea box and they want to see you do something that they wouldn't do. You know, I don't sing well. I don't want to go to a concert and I can sing better than a person. I want to go to a concert and somebody say better than me. I want somebody to hit enough that I can't hit. So you know, so the art of the game of boxing, the same thing. People want to see a fighter do something that they dare wouldn't do. And and these are the people they tend to support. My name is Jeremy J. Flash Nichols. I started boxing at 12 years old. I've been doing it on and off. I got real, real serious at 18 and I ain't stopping now. Well, once I got the calling for it, you know what I mean? Because I thought football was it. I thought track was. But once I really got serious in boxing, I was like, yeah, this is what it is because I can punch somebody in the face and I get in trouble. And I can literally just keep punching in the face and just make it just so bad for you. Not getting in trouble for it. And you know, growing up, I had a bad temper. I was a very angry kid. So this boxing just changed my life and saved my life for the better. And I appreciate boxing. You know, I easily drink this full time boxing, the full time dad. This is all I do. When they told me that I was signing with Evander, I was like, that's dope. I never, I never thought that that would happen just like I never thought that I was going to spar with me with it. I used to tell myself I was going to fight me with it. But I knew that wasn't going to happen because by the time I got up to that level, he'd have been gone. But I got the chance to work on it for the Pacquiao fight. So when they told me that, hey, we want you to go meet Evander Holyfield at the MGM because we're looking to, you know, go for it, which I was like, that's mad dope. Let's go. You know, and now we're moving forward. This is my second fight under, under the real deal boxing. I would have had the hat on, but you know, I got to represent Jay Flash, gang, Don't Bank, we in this thing. You know what it is. And we just taking it full force. You know, I want everybody to know that real deal got a real deal fighter in Jay Flash game. My mind is that since I handle things given, I'm going to beat the stuffing out of somebody. So the stuffing got to come out of him. You know what I mean? Know the hard feelings. I'm going to respect the kid after the fight, but since that bell ring, that's my things given dinner. Jay Flash, gang, Don't Bank, what's happening? We just won this thing. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. What did they do? I'm feeling great, man. I'm feeling honored. I'm feeling blessed. Finally got back in the ring since June. We did what we had to do. You know what I mean? I got in there with a good competitive fighter, had like 30 fights. He knew how to survive. He knew how to be, you know, be a little sneaky, do a little tricks. But he came to fight, but he didn't come to win because Jay Flash, gang, Don't Bank got that. We're going to keep doing it and keep building. Y'all stay tuned. Jay Flash ain't going nowhere, baby. This is what we do. Jay Flash, gang, Don't Bank, what it do? My name is Corn Dexter Knight. I started boxing. I started competing when I was 10. I was training from one to 10 in a house. I won the 2017 National Golden Gloves after working hard and finally listening this year. So it's just about taking your time with things. So I got some things I want to do later on in life. So I'll say boxing is the outlet to doing the things I want to do. So boxing plays a big role in my life. I love the training. The training is like training, make it, make it everything it is, you know what I'm saying? So like I just say the training, I love the support I get from my family and friends to keep me going. And it's a tough sport, but that's why you have to train hard. And the most thing is discipline and listening. That's all you got to do. Just growing up, I didn't like, I didn't wonder like, do stuff I did growing up. Like go to the gym every day. I wanted to be a kid. I wanted to be out and play with my friends, but I had to sacrifice. So doing all them things, it just made me who I am today. Like and then being from Philly, it's another pusher because it's a lot of stuff going on down there like in a bad environment. It's just like, it's rotting. So for me to make it out and show these kids that it's another way other than the streets and doing other things like robbing people and stuff like that and killing each other, it's just, it's just gotta stop. So I'm already working on having my own gym and helping the kids. After I won the Nationals, I had a few people trying to get me like with the Bella top rank and those top guys, but Holyfield was the number one guy that wanted me. So I kind of waited a couple months before I chose. I'm saying I just ran over contracts and contracts and tried to get the best deal and Holyfield had the best deal for me. So I just, I just went with that. Like being, being young and black, being young and black in the city, but Philadelphia is hard. So for me to get a promotional deal, it means a lot to me. I just went out there. I was being relaxed and comfortable. Got the win. So that's good for me. So working on the next day now. I'm feeling good. I just want to stay, stay humble and keep working. You know, I'm on my way to the top. So it's going to get harder and harder. So it's got training harder and the fight's going to be easy. So that's all I'm looking forward to. I want to say thank you to my dad, my father's right here, my little brother, my cameraman, my step mom. I want to say thank you to all my fans out there, my at home, my mom, my family, the gym, my city. That's all. I want to the next one. My name is Demetrius Banks. I'm from inner city, Detroit, Michigan. I've been boxing for nine years now. I mean, I started boxing just trying to look for an opportunity or a way out and a way to provide, create opportunity for the inner city of you. I feel like, man, if you could survive in Detroit, man, you could pretty much survive anywhere, man. Like people would ask me, like, why do I take the fights I take? But I'm like, it's just a fight. You know, a guy, he don't have a gun. He don't have a knife. It's not a gang of them, you know what I'm saying? Where I'm coming from, you know, I lost a lot of people, you know, in the streets, you know, to gun violence and everything. So it's, you know, crazy. So boxing is simple, you know? I mean, I'm not going to say I love to fight, but I love to compete. And I do it for a reason, you know, relentlessly termination. That's my stamp. I'm going to have it on my back, you know? But yeah, that's, it has a lot of meaning, you know? Man, it's crazy and it's like so surreal because I remember back, like, what, 92? 93 maybe? I'm playing the Sega real deal boxing in the Vandal Holyfield, you know? And then able to have an opportunity to work with this guy. It's just awesome. Like a dream come true, man. It's like time to seize the moment. I'm just creating opportunities, you know? And it's really not about myself, like I say, I'm doing this to create opportunity. I've had a lot of experience with the Italian Olympic team. After winning so many tournaments at the international level, I decided to become a professional. I'm in charge, I'm proud to be able to fight in the United States, to fight under the eyes of Vandal Holyfield, who has been, since I started an idol, is the best for me. He taught me to respect the weakest and to be a balanced person. Personally, I think that from a director I could get more, because I didn't participate in the 2016 Olympics. I want to be a professional again by winning the world title. I'm John Vincent Moralde from Philippines in Java, OCD. I'm six years old. I start in boxing and then boxing and track and field. I have two sports before. I was a kid and I focus into boxing because in track and field they're not good, not good for me, not good sport because sometimes our opponents are over age. That's why I love boxing. Before, my cousin is a boxer. He encouraged us to fight and then my first fight I won. Then it could be one and then that's why I'm here. I feel very happy because they give me a chance to fight here. I want to let them see what's my style, what's my movement and fight. I want to prove that I'm a good boxer. My name is Toca Khan Clary. I've been boxing for 11 years now. I'm signed with Real Deal Vendor Holyfield team. I train out of Providence, Rhode Island and I'm 24-1 with 17 knock-ups. Just what was tonight like obviously fighting in your hometown? It was a great feeling fighting in Providence, Rhode Island. I had a lot of support, a lot of friends and I'm just happy to be home. I'm happy to be here in a positive position doing something positive. I have a lot of people who came out to show me support and I just feel great right now. It makes the victory a little extra sweet to do in front of your loved ones, right? Yes, sir, definitely. I'm talking about getting another belt and adding to the trophy case there. It definitely feels good to get one of these green ones. I was a lot of fight on TV. I see a lot of guys getting these belts and I'm happy to be in the same position. I see these guys and we're going forward. We just got to keep winning and keep doing positive things. What's some advice that Evander's given you since working with him that you've put into your routine here? Well, there's a lot of these. We got to get them on. You say, keep powering them up, keep getting every one of them and the way he did it, you know, he fought everybody and that's what we want to do. We want to fight all the champions. That's the only way to get recognition in boxing. You know, you got to fight the top fighters. You can't get to the world titles if you want to fight them on the top fighters and I feel like my team and I, we keep working hard and I feel like we're ready for one of those guys. I feel blessed, you know. I feel real blessed. I'm from a little state where the biggest heart comes from, you know, and they showed it tonight. I have everybody, all my friends and my family, everybody that grew up with teachers. I went to school where it was in the fan. I'm 25. I haven't been in school for a long time and it's still here showing me love, you know. And I'm just blessed to have that, have that, have that fan base and the love that they're showing me out here. I'm blessed. Well, we had a good night. We had a good night, you know, and all the guys that we thought would win won and they won in good fashion, but everybody stepped up another level, you know, to be a champion. You have to fight competition and one thing that I tell my, you know, my fighters and I say, look, I say, look, I can't make you a champion. I can do your opportunity. You got to win. You got to win. And I just say, don't nobody tell nobody. Everybody makes somebody like, I'm going to make you a champion. You know, I can't make you a champion. I can do your opportunity. That's how hard you work and do you listen, do you follow the rupture? And so when, when all these things here, it'll show you how good you are. Because if I can still do what I can, if I can do what I used to do, I would go here and do it, make them up myself. I got the knowledge, but, you know, I don't have the youth. And so, you know, that's the whole big thing about, you know, I give you the information. Can you apply this information and use it to, to, to your, your best of being a champion?
