Speaker 3

Good Man?

Speaker 2

Hey man, watch you and that ring workout? Man, I got a new level of respect for the game. Man.

Speaker 1

It's it's crazy man, me you're praying for a fight like like this with the month rope, Like what's going through your mind at this point? Right now though?

Speaker 4

Right now? Just like making sure I stay shop, you know, like thinking about the fight, like what I'm gonna do inside the fight like that.

Speaker 3

But yeah, just like.

Speaker 4

Making sure I stay shop with things like that, like picturing what I'm gonna do in the fight and stuff high like.

Speaker 2

You know, I know a lot of people are ever asked this question. But with the amount of success you can't have in his boxing game, with the amount of money you gone made, if you could get sits and say to continue to stay shop, I think a lot of bikers are not, just like, yeah, where did that come from from? You?

Speaker 1

To stay disciplined and ground.

Speaker 4

I just don't want to look like a fool when I got there in the ring, you know, I want to stay shop. I want to stay like you know, when you reach that top level things like that, you want to always like make sure you go out there and give it y'all all you want to. You don't want to like slip up and you know, underwork yourself and then you feel like you're doing enough work inside the training and training camp so you can look good

when you're fighting things like that. So I'll make sure I try to stay like as much possible, stay focused as as possible as I can, you know, so I could be able to also give out put on a great performance in front of the fans and things like that. Because if you always put on a great performance the fans going, you draw more fans though you know that I want to see.

Speaker 2

You more dollars for showing, yeah for sure. So like you gotta do your job. At the same time, it's the entertainment where your brand. So like you say, paper, if you say is you won't you won't people yeah and watch you, not people on the ass.

Speaker 1

So that's what you be doing. But when you get in the ring, you know we watch you.

Speaker 2

You know, first two or three runs sound like you be feeling feeling your opponent out a little bit.

Speaker 4

Yeah, yeah, for sure, because I never want to go out there and like you know and run into a punch that I don't see or anything like that. So I like to film my my part now and things like that. You like, what like that's what life perier. You just don't go out there and just you know here on show. You just always want to figure your way through things. And you know then gradually like you know, loosing up and then you know, once you find them opening and then that's when you you go ahead on.

Speaker 2

It's funny you say, when you when you're finding them opening them and like like you open them up.

Speaker 3

A little bit like that.

Speaker 2

Like so like you said, you already knowing what punch you through the hitting like okay he placed on that one, so yeah, come with the right hook on the next. Like I look at you as as like one of them boxes that known't for you'll walk them down, like from the announcers that oh he got a not shot, ain't gonna tank the Yeah, it's like man, it's like it's like you can. It's like you know how to make adjudgtments, bro. And I just love to see I

know the fans love to see it, bro. Uh you know on me, I like, keep it going, bro, because we got a lot of people rooking for you. Also, you know you got a lot of haterres too, but yeah, a lot of haters don't pay you because they want to tune in just to see what Tank don't do. So my question is this, could we ever see you and Ryan do see a get in the fight again in the ring again?

Speaker 1

You and Ron?

Speaker 4

Yeah for sure if he if like yeah, yeah, if he claim yeah, if he claimed for Shure, and if he looking uh looking good his next couple of fights, for sure, we can we can redo it for sure.

Speaker 2

What about hanging Man, You know they keep they keep mentioning his name with you and this and that, but you know obviously he lost, uh Ryan, Ryan brother, he took.

Speaker 1

Something, not he got got knocked on his ass.

Speaker 4

But yeah, yeah, I'll definitely for sure be open in a fight, right, I mean, Devin for sure.

Speaker 3

But it's just like he gotta I mean, he gotta redeem himself.

Speaker 4

You know, if he looked good his next fight and things like that, and if the fight don't go good or even if he looked look good, gets Ryan too, and he don't get the one. Like I feel though it would still be like a good fight to have, just like even like the bell does. Since we've been like he's been younger and things like that coming in the game and it was back and forth. So I think it's still be a good fight with man man Devin for sure. Well, you know it's the light skinning game.

You know, you got w don't want to break them.

Speaker 2

Man Boston first got got tight and got you with the month roads Man, what makes you want to reach out and get a young book of chance? Man?

Speaker 1

Uh?

Speaker 4

We we we reached out to a couple of fighters that that was unavailable and things like that at the time, and well, some people turn down to fight. Some people was like, you know they are they already had fights. And the month was you know, he was someone that's a chappion and he was willing to come up in the weight class and you know take the fighting things

like that. And I also think that he reached well I'm not sure if he reached out, but when it was like they asked him more like, you know, he didn't shot away from it. He straight said yes.

Speaker 2

So that what that was You ever get like when you could champ, everybody, everybody throwing stones at you.

Speaker 1

But when you get sick, people calling you out knowing they can't with you just want to pay.

Speaker 3

Yeah that's what That's really what it is.

Speaker 4

But it's me now just understanding that and just like you know, just understanding and just picking the uh, the right picking the right torches at the right time and things like that. I just like being in the game that you see that, like everybody want to fight you, like it doesn't matter what the weight class or not.

It's like people that's like one for fifty four and things like that that want to fight me, like everybody you know, but it's like more so like it's a payday, you know, it's not more so like a right I think I can win. It's like they want to make sure that that situation good.

Speaker 3

That's what it really is.

Speaker 1

Yeah, because it's like I've seen that a lot of people like, man, give me a chance. Like, bro, you're struggling with the motherfuckers, you're cheat them. You ain't trying to fight to get with this man.

Speaker 4

But it's just it definitely be like, you know, paid it, but what you can't fault them. But it's just the way how they how they go about the situation. Like if they would have came at me like like a fighter and not like so disrespectful or say like I want to fight them and things like that, then it probably would be different, you know. But I mean, you know they're younger now. I mean they're younger, so they want to go like the disrespectful world.

Speaker 1

I know you hear from everybody. You hear from your periods, your family members. But when when did you know you were special?

Speaker 2

Bro?

Speaker 1

Like really knew?

Speaker 4

Like I'm here, I didn't really like I didn't really like pick up on it. Just I was just so in love with I was not now that I'm older, I don't think I even was in love with the sports so much. I think I was just in love with just having that father figure that I didn't have at home and in gym, so and when I start winning and things like that, it was like more so I was making my coaching them happy, I was making

people around me happy. So it was like, damn, like I'm doing something that actually draw people to love me, like in a sense, so that's what I really like. I'm like, Okay, then it wasn't It wasn't really so like me just boxing or anything like that, you know, because as I get older, I'm like I shot away from boxing, but it's like I still had a love for the sport, but it's just the people that I have loved, Like it's the people that I had loved for and not really the sport.

Speaker 1

Yeah, like speaking on it, like you broke generational curses in your family, bro, Like nah you you bread woman?

Speaker 2

Bro?

Speaker 1

Like yeah, what you've been able to do?

Speaker 2

No one in your family's ever been able to done it though, Like you got people around you now that's feeling the title to your success. They ain't done nothing, but they feel like.

Speaker 3

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you got me. Yeah yeah yeah, I mean but I mean come with it, you know.

Speaker 4

But right now I'm in the stage where though, but though I like I actually looked out for every single person, Like every single person. I feel as though I looked out for every single person, So it can really be like now it's just like making sure I'm good, making sure my kids good and things like that, you know. So it's just und about myself now, trying to take care of myself, like beyond boxing. And that's why I

think I at aligned with boxing. So it's just like trying to take care of myself more so I could be a like be to grow with my kids and you know, you know, just better myself as a person, you know.

Speaker 1

Now.

Speaker 4

So I just want to be, uh not a role model for the people, because I'm I still make mistakes, but I want to be a role model for like my kids.

Speaker 3

You know, I got a son now, so I want to appreciate it.

Speaker 4

I definitely want to like just do the right thing for them and show them that, you know, anything is possible.

You know where I come from.

Speaker 2

When it's all saying how would you like to people your name?

Speaker 1

Well, what would you like like to hear? When it's all saying Tyane Davis as.

Speaker 4

A box as a boxer, uh, not really as a boxer, but as a person, I just want to just pretty like he changed his life around. He not this young, young, reckless kid.

Speaker 3

No more than it came in a game like I really didn't care.

Speaker 4
