Ladies and gentlemen, this is David Diemante. The podcast starts now.

You're listening to the To-To-To- Podcast.

Podcast. Oh, I'm here with Pauli Malinaji in Brookfield Place and we are here for the public workouts for the big fight this weekend. Anthony Joshua making his US debut at the historic

Madison Square Garden against Andy Ruiz Jr.

Paulay, great to see you and great to see here in Stateside in the hometown

of New York. First things first, you look really, really well and there's

obviously a reason behind that. Yes of course I'm in preparation for my own fight

the bare-nuckle FC fight on June the 22nd in Tampa, Florida against

Adam Loeboff.

So preparing, working with you guys over at Sky,

you know, it's always great to work with the Brits

and work a big Anthony Joshua fight, of course.

I just have to ask you one question on it.

Why are you doing it? Why are you doing it?

Are you enjoying it, I suppose?

You know, there's not one specific reason.

There's probably several different reasons.

One, you know, you kind of miss a spotlight,

but you don't always think you will be able to get it at this level you know this is a main event level this is a level where there's a lot of attention going my way now

You know it if I was gonna fight again. I didn't just want to fight on undercards or some small event or whatnot and this provides kind of the platform that I've craved you know and kind of the platform that I thought maybe I wouldn't be able to have anymore. You know, so when it was presented to me it was appealing obviously

secondly the money there's a good amount of money they're paying me probably more

so than I thought I could I would I could be valued out at this point in my career
