Well, brother, I appreciate you taking a time.

Where are you right now?

I'm back home in Seattle, Washington.

So I literally got done with the fight and went straight to the airport and just flew 15 hours home.

How long were you in Dubai?

I got there December the 1st.

So spent a couple weeks there and just finished like trimming down, getting on to wait and kind of just exploring it a little bit just to the time zone.

Yeah.

Did you interact with tate before the fight

like were you guys spending time together yeah you know i i got to run into him a handful of times

um you know even before the fight back over the summer i met him and he was you know he's cool uh stand-up

guy didn't really talk a whole lot about fighting obviously he didn't want to do any sparring or any, you know, sort of fight type of stuff because we both knew that this was in the works. But yeah, I got to see him quite a bit, you know, throughout my whole time in Dubai. Wait, so this was in the works for how long? Because didn't you, you, you talked to me, I mean, I don't know how many months ago, but you were supposed to fight someone else. I forgot who it was. Yeah, I have. There's somebody, like the fight name is crazy because you'll get big fights and then people will bow out of it. So, you know, at some point there was like a Tommy Fury fight. And, you know, there's, people are getting thrown across the board all the time.

And obviously this one came July.

They gave me an opportunity.

They said, hey, we're going to give you, at first it was either Deontay Wilder or Derek Chisora.

I was like, okay.

Like, can I get an influencer for once?

Like, and then he calls me back. He goes, well, there is one other guy that has inquired about you, but we don't know. We don't want to tell you because you might get too excited. It might happen. I was like, I will. You can just tell me. I won't get too gas somebody. He goes, okay, well, Andrew Tate has called. interested in fighting me. Because I was wondering how that whole thing started. It was like there was, you know,

I don't know how real it was.

It seemed like this joke where like Andrew took over misfits. I'm assuming that's not real. Or did they give him equity in it or something? Yeah. So I think what had happened was he got like a deal basically where it was like they paid him like $50 million in cash and then he got $50 million in equity in the company.

So I think he got 10% of the company.

Yeah.
