00:00:00 --> 00:00:00
			How's your training going?
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:01
			It's going alright.
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:02
			Harder, there you go.
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
			On the 14th of December, there's going to
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08
			be some fireworks that's going to take place
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			in Coventry.
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			I'm going to make my professional MMA debut.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			So make sure that you book the pay
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			-per-view tickets, because to watch this on
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			pay-per-view, 20%, one-fifth of the
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			earnings will go to charity.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			It will go to the Lebanese crisis, we
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			know what's going on there.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			And so we can, inshallah, raise money and
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			be entertained at the same time.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			I'm the kind of guy, thank you for
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			the speech earlier too, I knew all that
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			was for me.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			I felt you picking on me a little
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:33
			bit.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			I just
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:49
			want,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:56
			in a very, very brief manner, to tell
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			you guys the Islamic worldview in three minutes,
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			five minutes.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			I think it's only incumbent upon us, for
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:06
			us to explain the Islamic worldview, because the
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			thing is, there is a question that people
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			may ask, and it's one of the most,
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			if not the most fundamental question that a
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:19
			human being can ask, which is, what is
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			the purpose of life?
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			This is the most fundamental question a human
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			being can ask, in the course of his
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			or her life.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			What is the purpose of life?
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			Now, many different people can give subjective answers
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			to this question.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
			Someone who's very much invested in money, or
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:44
			for example, other people who are obsessed fully
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			with sports, could answer in the sense that
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			they say, well, the purpose of life is
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			for me to be the best version of
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			this or that.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			That's a subjective answer.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			That's not the question though.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			The question is, is there a purpose of
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			life?
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			An objective purpose of life, by which and
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:06
			through which all human beings have been commissioned
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			to follow?
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			Now, there's only one or two ways you
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			can look at this.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			Either there is a purpose of life which
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			is objective, or there isn't.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:20
			And if there isn't, then whatever we're doing
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			here is temporary, and when we go in
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:26
			the grave, it will just be a rearrangement
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			of atoms, and we are just carbon, and
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:33
			we are just atoms, and when we disintegrate
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			into the earth, we will become with the
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			earth, and that's it.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			There's nothing to it.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			This is the conclusion of that worldview.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			The other way of thinking about it is,
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			no, there is a purpose of life, but
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			if there's a purpose of life, where did
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			it come from?
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			Well, it couldn't have come from nothing.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			The universe itself couldn't have come from nothing,
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			and the universe itself couldn't have created itself,
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:08
			because the universe creating itself is like a
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			mother giving birth to herself.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			It would have to exist and not exist
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			at the same time.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:19
			So the best answer to the question of
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			why we are here is that there is
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:24
			a universe that was created by a creator
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:30
			that was uncreated, and that that creator has
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			knowledge, has power.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:35
			The creator has knowledge and it has power,
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			and it has given purpose to the human
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:44
			being, and the purpose is to submit to
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:46
			that creator.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:51
			Submit to one God, because the creator is
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:51
			God.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			Someone will argue, isn't that what Jews and
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			Christians say?
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			What's the difference between Islam and Christianity?
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:05
			For example, the answer is that the biggest
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:09
			difference between Islam and Christianity is that Muslims
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12
			do not believe that the person of Jesus
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			Christ was God.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			This is the biggest difference.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:20
			Or that he was a person of the
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23
			Trinity, or that he was the son of
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:23
			God.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			What Muslims affirm about Jesus Christ was that
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			he was the Messiah, was that he was
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			a prophet sent by God, as the book
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:36
			of Acts says in the Bible, a man
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			sent from God with wonders and miracles and
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42
			signs, which God did through him.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:48
			And so the biggest difference between Islam and
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:53
			Christianity is that Islam believes that Jesus Christ
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:57
			cannot have been a God, that it's not
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:01
			conceivable, it's not possible, and it's not intelligible
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			for any human being with a date of
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			birth to be labelled as God.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:11
			And that instead, that anyone with those qualities
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			must be human and limited.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			Muslims like Christians and Jews believe in Abraham,
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			believe in Moses, believe in all of those
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			New Testament prophets.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:30
			And the question the Quran asks, or the
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			statement it makes is that Abraham wasn't a
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:33
			Jew or a Christian.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:38
			And in fact, he couldn't have followed Muhammad
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			because Muhammad didn't exist at the time.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			But he himself was a submitter to one
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:43
			God.
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			He wasn't telling, Abraham wasn't telling people to
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			believe in the Trinity.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			Moses wasn't telling people to believe in the
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:51
			Trinity.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			Not even in the Bible does it say
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			that, by the way.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			Go and find the verse in the Bible
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			where it says Moses said believe in Jesus
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:01
			as God, or Moses said that the Trinity
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:01
			exists.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			You will not find such a verse.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:09
			And so Islam is a continuation of what
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			Jesus came with.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			And we think that what Jesus came with,
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			and we have evidence to show, is that
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17
			to believe in one God and worship in
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			one God.
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			But that message was tainted like the Shaykh
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:21
			mentioned.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			And it was changed.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			And there's decisive evidence to show, historical evidence,
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:30
			that Christianity is a changed religion.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			There's no question about it.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37
			And so Islam came to renew the original
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			message of Jesus Christ.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			This is what Islam came to do.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			So if being a Christian is to follow
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:50
			Jesus, then every Muslim in a sense should
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			follow Jesus and should be a Christian in
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:52
			that sense.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:57
			But what we're saying is, follow Christ by
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			believing in one God.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			This is the main purpose of life.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:02
			And I just wanted to put that forward
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:05
			to let people know what the Islamic worldview
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:05
			is.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:09
			Because we believe that there's the Old Testament,
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:13
			there's the New Testament, and then there's the
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			Final Testament, which is the Quran.
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			And that this Quran, which is the Final
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:24
			Testament, has no errors or inconsistencies inside of
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			it.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29
			And that if you follow this, you will
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			be at peace, you will have no depression,
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			and you will be at your purpose in
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:34
			this life.
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:39
			You will have an objective, anchored, solidified, proper
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			purpose of life.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:44
			Otherwise, believe me, nothing you can do will
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			ever fill the void of that purpose.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			This is the Islamic worldview.
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:49
			Now we're going to start talking about martial
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			arts and boxing.
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			But I just thought it would be appropriate
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			and proper for us to start like that.
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			But first of all, it's a privilege, an
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01
			honor for me to have this conversation with
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:01
			you.
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:02
			I mean, I've been watching your fights for
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			a very, very long time.
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:06
			And a legend that people speak about, a
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:11
			person who's obviously moved weight classes, fought James
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			Toney, done incredible things in the sport.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			This is a question, I mean, what got
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			you into boxing in the first place?
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			First of all, I want to say As
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			-salamu alaykum to everybody out there.
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			I'm the kind of guy, thank you for
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27
			the speech earlier, too.
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			I knew all that was for me.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:31
			So I felt you picking on me a
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:31
			little bit.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			I took it.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:33
			I took it.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:34
			I'm cool with that, you know.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:35
			But thank you.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			I appreciate your speech.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:36
			Usually you dodge the punches.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:38
			Yeah, I usually dodge.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:39
			I was trying to dodge what you were
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:39
			saying.
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:40
			You got the defensive style.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			I couldn't get away from those.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			They were pretty good.
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46
			So anyway, what got me into boxing, I
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:49
			was probably different than most people because I
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:52
			started boxing after watching Muhammad Ali fight, I
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:53
			think in about 1974.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55
			My father was a boxer, but I didn't
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			know it at that time.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			I didn't find out until I got about
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:00
			13 years old that my father was a
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:00
			boxer.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			But that explained to me later why he
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			was so infatuated with watching Muhammad Ali.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			When I saw my father watching Muhammad Ali,
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			I think it might have been the Joe
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:10
			Frazier fight.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			And I was watching Muhammad Ali fight, but
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:14
			I was seeing the mental part more so
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			than anything because since I was about three
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			years old, I probably was the worst agitator
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:20
			in my family.
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21
			You understand what I mean?
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			So I always got in trouble for aggravating
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:23
			people.
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27
			When I saw him aggravating Joe Frazier and
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:28
			beating him, I was like, wait a minute.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:32
			I can do that because I can get
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33
			on anybody's nerves and I'm never going to
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34
			get mad.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			So you said the mental thing.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:37
			Can you tell us a little bit more
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:38
			about what you mean by that?
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:41
			The mental thing was in boxing, for me,
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			I watched Muhammad Ali make you think a
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45
			certain way, make you want to kill him.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:46
			Yes.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			And the more you try to kill him,
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:49
			the more happier he is.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			So he can see everything you're doing now
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			because he's pissed you off to a point
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			that you're showing all your weapons because you
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:56
			want to kill him.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:58
			So it's a psychological game.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			That's exactly what it is.
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:01
			And you thought you were a manipulator, so
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:02
			you might go get into the ring and
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			try your manipulation tactics in the ring.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			I knew I was pretty good at *
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:07
			people off too.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			So if I can do that, I know
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:11
			I'm not going to get mad.
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:12
			I can do the same thing he's doing.
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16
			So he became my aspiration and my idol
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:16
			right away.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			How did you develop that style?
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			Because you had a very kind of like
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22
			well-known defensive style moving and these kind
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23
			of things.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24
			Did that come naturally to you?
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:25
			Did someone teach you that?
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			Or how did you develop it?
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:28
			I was taught a lot.
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:32
			But as we all say, what God got
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			for you, he's going to prepare you for.
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:37
			So I grew up on a farm, squirrel
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:41
			hunting, rabbit hunting, deer hunting, raising dogs, raising
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:44
			chickens, raising pigs, had a few cows, a
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			few horses.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:48
			All those things are what I call nature.
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:53
			If God created nature, the same God that
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			created us, then there's a lot of lessons
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			to be learned in nature.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59
			Forget what people say.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			Nobody can go out there and light their
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:01
			sky up right now.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			When that sun comes tomorrow, when that sky
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			gets light tomorrow, no man can go out
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:06
			there and turn that light out.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			Only God can do that.
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			Well, only God could have created these animals
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:12
			the way he created them.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			So I learned to love the roosters because
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			they fought.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			And they fought to the death.
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			I was fascinated by that.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:19
			You understand me?
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			So being so fascinated, I started wanting to
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:25
			know what made one rooster more superior than
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:25
			the next one.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			That's a very interesting question.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:28
			You feel me?
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29
			Very interesting, yeah.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			So I figured out the one that does
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:32
			the most fighting.
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			You actually learned from the animals then?
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			I had to.
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:36
			Wow.
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:37
			I had to.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:41
			So by learning that, it taught me or
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			gave me really a good foundation as to
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44
			what I wanted to be and how I
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			wanted to carry myself in the ring.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:47
			So a lot of people think I do
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49
			things just to show off.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:50
			No, I don't.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			Everything I do has a manipulation plan to
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:53
			it.
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54
			So when you go in there, do you
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			think, okay, because a lot of it is
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			not just feinting, but it's showboating.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:11:59
			Do you think I'm going to showboat in
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00
			the third round to do this?
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			Do you calculate that or is it instinct?
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			No, I don't calculate it.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:10
			It's something about it that when God puts
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:11
			it on my heart, I trust God so
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			much that I try it.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:15
			And there's never been another person do the
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			things that I did because I don't think
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:21
			they had that trust in it to try
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:21
			it like that.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			I had such a great foundation that I
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:24
			felt like I could try anything.
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			So in a fight when I was fighting
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:27
			Glenn Kelly, I had hit him with so
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			many counterpunches that he wouldn't punch.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			I got against the ropes and I got
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			an inclination.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			So I said, put your hands behind your
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			back, he'll punch then.
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:39
			I put my head behind his back, left,
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			right, left, he punched.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:42
			Pow, get him out of there.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:45
			Okay, let me ask you a question.
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47
			Now, these are controversial questions.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			I think you can handle them.
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:53
			Let's start with who you think the greatest
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:54
			of all time fighters are.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			Ain't no who I think.
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			The greatest fighter of all times, the greatest
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:00
			athlete of all time, always in my book
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:01
			is going to be Muhammad Ali.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07
			That's what I think, that's what I know.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			When I hear, sorry to say, but when
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			I hear Floyd Mayweather speak about it, he's
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			usually carrying some kind of a grudge, I
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:14
			think.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			He's usually not happy about saying that.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			You know, he never puts Muhammad Ali in
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:18
			his top five.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:20
			What do you think the reason for that
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:20
			is?
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:22
			You seem psychologically screwed on.
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:23
			I don't want to be a hater.
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:26
			So some people live for different reasons.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			Like you said, some people live for and
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			respect different things in life.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:34
			Some people are more materialistic or like that
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			than others.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37
			Ali had a heart of gold.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:38
			You understand me?
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:40
			I love Ali because of the heart he
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:40
			had.
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:42
			He fought for the weak.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43
			He stood up for those that were disabled
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:46
			or those that couldn't, wasn't as beneficial as
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:46
			others.
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:49
			He fought for all good for all people.
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			And he tried to keep everybody unified at
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:52
			the same time.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			When he died, you saw people from every
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			religion, every race come to his funeral.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:57
			Why?
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:58
			How many other people have we seen that
		
00:13:58 --> 00:13:59
			happen?
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:00
			Not many.
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:01
			You understand me?
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			So even the day he left here, he
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:04
			still was leaving legacy.
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			In a sense, he transcended the sport completely,
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:06
			didn't he?
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:08
			He's a cultural icon now, isn't he?
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:10
			They took his best years away from him.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:11
			And he's still the greatest of all time.
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:13
			With that tea.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:19
			I mean, what's a really interesting read, I'm
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:20
			not sure if you've ever read it, but
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:21
			it's a really good book.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:23
			If you get the time, you should read
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:23
			it.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			It's the autobiography of Malcolm X.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:27
			If you get the chance.
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:30
			And in particular, the last couple of chapters,
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:31
			he talks about the pilgrimage.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			And one really interesting thing that he says,
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:36
			is that when he goes to the pilgrimage,
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:38
			Malcolm X goes to the pilgrimage, and they
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:41
			knew that he was Muhammad Ali's friend, everybody
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:42
			would greet him and they would love him.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:45
			So even at that time, it wasn't just
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:48
			like the African American community in America, or
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			even the Westerners.
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51
			The entire Muslim world was behind this man,
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:51
			Muhammad Ali.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			And it was interesting how he described that,
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:56
			because it's a really interesting read anyway, Malcolm
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:56
			X.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			It shows the placement of Muhammad Ali in
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00
			terms of world histories.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			It's a massive placement.
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			So you put Muhammad Ali there.
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:04
			Who else would you put there in the
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:04
			top five?
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:05
			In the top five?
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:06
			Yeah.
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:09
			You know what?
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:10
			I didn't want to say that.
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:14
			I don't know if that's fair or not.
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			But I appreciate it.
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:17
			So he's there number two.
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:18
			He's there number two.
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:19
			So yeah, we'll go with that.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:22
			Give me another one.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:25
			You know, man, I thought the world of
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27
			Sugar Ray Robinson and Sugar Ray Leonard, yeah,
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			they were two of a kind.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			So I put them two together.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:31
			Okay.
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:36
			I got to say Roberto Duran.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:40
			And people don't understand why I say Roberto
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:40
			Duran.
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:41
			But this is how you got to look
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:42
			at it.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:44
			They got the thing called the Four Kings,
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:44
			right?
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			Marvin Haggard started out as a middleweight.
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			Sugar Ray and Tamer Hermans started out as
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:50
			welterweights.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:52
			Duran started out as a lightweight.
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:54
			And he won the Four Kings.
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:55
			What'd that tell you?
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:57
			Huh?
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:58
			Got to be a bad dude.
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:01
			Last but not least is my favorite Mexican,
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:02
			Salvador Sanchez.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:03
			Really?
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:04
			Yeah.
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:08
			And the reason I say Salvador Sanchez, a
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			lot of these young guys up here may
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:13
			not know this, but we talked about how
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:16
			Canelo was too young to fight Floyd at
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:17
			21 years old, right?
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			Salvador Sanchez defended his title.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			Nine times at 21 years old.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:25
			The WBC world title.
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:27
			He died at 22.
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:29
			You mentioned Floyd.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:30
			Where would you put him in the rankings?
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:31
			Mayweather.
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:32
			Where would you put him?
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:32
			Who?
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:41
			All right.
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:41
			Let me ask you a question.
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:45
			If you don't respect Muhammad Ali, how can
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:46
			I respect you?
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:52
			It's a good point.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:52
			It's a good point.
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			By the way, we don't like Floyd for
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:57
			other reasons now as well.
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:59
			He's been shaking hands with the devil.
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:01
			I ain't saying liking me, cool.
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:04
			I mean, everybody's entitled to do their own
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:04
			thing.
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:05
			And what he did was brilliant.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:07
			He was smart about what he did.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09
			But to tell me that you don't think
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:10
			Muhammad Ali is the greatest of all time,
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:12
			you may well be spitting in my face.
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:13
			He doesn't even put him in the top
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:13
			five.
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			You may as well spit in my face.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			Give me your top best three boxing fights
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:20
			of all time.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:22
			Three boxing fights?
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:22
			Yeah.
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			You mentioned Hagler and Hearns.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			I was thinking that's usually put up there.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:27
			That's definitely one of them.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:32
			But two more fights that I loved.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:36
			One was Ron Lyle versus George Foreman.
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:38
			Okay.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:39
			I think it was about six or seven
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40
			knockdowns.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:41
			Really?
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			George epically winning the fight, but that was
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:44
			a * of a fight.
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			The other one I would put up there
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:51
			is, we call it some old school, Larry
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:52
			Holmes, Ken Norton.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:53
			Okay.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			If you ever get a chance, go watch
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:55
			that.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:55
			Watch that one.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			That's what made me start liking Larry Holmes,
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			because I didn't like him because of what
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:59
			he did to Ali.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:01
			But when he beat Ken Norton, I got
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			a little bit more respect for him.
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:03
			Okay.
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05
			Let me ask you, is this working?
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:05
			Yeah.
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:07
			Another controversial question.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:11
			Recently, Jake Paul fought Mike Tyson.
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:13
			Gimmick fight.
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16
			Now, a lot of people have been saying
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18
			this is a staged fight.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:18
			It's fixed.
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			If you look at the comments on a
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			lot of the social media platforms, that's what
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:23
			they're saying.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			I think the majority of comments is that
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:26
			this thing is fixed.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			Now, you fought Tyson, I don't know, was
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:29
			it four years ago, five years ago or
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:29
			something like that?
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:30
			Four years.
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:32
			What is your opinion on this?
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:33
			Do you think it was fixed?
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:34
			Or do you think that maybe he told
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:35
			him, look, we're just going to do a
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:36
			little sparring thing.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:37
			Don't go too hard.
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:39
			Or what do you think happened in this
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:39
			situation?
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:43
			First things first, for Mike Tyson to be
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:47
			58 years old and to do anything and
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			walk away with $20 million is out of
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:50
			this world.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:51
			Right?
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			The reason he was able to do that
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:55
			is because of the hype and the social
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			media around Jake Paul.
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:00
			So, Jake Paul actually gave him a gift,
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03
			a blessing that he wouldn't have got from
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:04
			anybody else at that age.
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			So, I can't say nothing bad about Mike.
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09
			Because at 58, who else is going to
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:10
			make that kind of money?
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			But what do you think happened?
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:13
			It looked like it might have been a
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:15
			little bit of an understanding.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:15
			I don't know.
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18
			No, but you reckon it was a fully
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:19
			fledged understanding?
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:20
			He was after me a whole lot harder
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:21
			than he was after Jake Paul.
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:24
			And he didn't make quite that much money.
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:25
			So, he was at my neck.
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:27
			You understand me?
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:29
			I mean, he even took the gloves and
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			ran the laces up my face one time.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:33
			Pissed me off.
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:34
			Well, you're lucky that he didn't bite those
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36
			gloves and bite your ear as well.
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			That's probably when the guy told me he
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:38
			bites the gloves all the time.
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:40
			I said, I just did an eight round
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:40
			with him four years ago.
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:42
			I don't remember him biting a glove at
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:42
			all.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			Because if he'd have bit a glove, I'd
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:46
			start holding my ears.
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			So, do you reckon he was biting that
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			glove because he was so frustrated that he
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:51
			couldn't do what he wanted to do?
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			That seemed kind of like what it was.
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:55
			Like he was biting that glove out of
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:56
			pure frustration.
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:57
			Maybe a daydream still.
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			To me, Mike's like a pit bull, right?
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			You've got a pit bull, he can play
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			with other pit bulls because a fight's going
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:03
			to break out.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:05
			But a pit bull don't know how to
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:05
			play well.
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:08
			When he starts playing, because there's a fight,
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:09
			a real fight's going to break out.
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:10
			They just don't know how to do it.
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:11
			But you say it was an understanding.
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			Do you reckon it was a fully fledged,
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			like WWE style understanding?
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:17
			Like, you know, you take the full ear,
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:18
			you know what I mean?
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:20
			I can't really say.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:21
			Because I don't know.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:24
			And if I knew that, I wouldn't tell
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:24
			you.
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:25
			I don't know that.
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:27
			So, I really don't know what it really
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:27
			was.
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			However it goes, tell Jake Paul don't call
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			me because he's going to knock me out.
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:33
			For real.
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			Because if you don't knock me out, I'm
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:36
			knocking you out.
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:38
			So, don't call Roy, because Roy ain't playing.
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:39
			He ain't playing no games.
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:40
			At all.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:42
			Alright, well.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:45
			I mean, it was a pleasure talking to
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:45
			you.
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:47
			And I think everybody here, I mean, already
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			your energy is exuberating.
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:51
			Everyone here can feel your energy.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:54
			And we would love to welcome you to
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:55
			the Islamic family.
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			That's something that we'll talk about.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:58
			I appreciate it.
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:00
			There's something we'll talk about.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:05
			But, thank you so much for talking to
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			me about this and sharing these very important
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:07
			experiences.
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:09
			And for me, it's also an honour and
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:10
			a pleasure to be on stage with all
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			these other world champions.
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:13
			Pleasure's all ours, honestly.
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:15
			Thank you all for coming up and doing
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:16
			what you're all doing.
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:16
			Thank you.
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:18
			Keep the head up, stay strong, stay smart.
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:20
			Do what he just said.
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			Try to be the best that you can
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:22
			be.
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:23
			Thank you.
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			And now, last but not least.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:30
			But we'll get the mic on him first.
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:39
			As-salamu alaykum, brother.
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:39
			How are you?
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:42
			Wa alaykum as-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:44
			I'm not bad.
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:45
			Everything good.
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			How are you liking the United Kingdom?
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:48
			Good.
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:49
			I finally agree.
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51
			Is this the first time you've come here?
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:52
			Here, yeah.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:54
			Luton?
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:55
			Luton, yeah.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:57
			But you've come to the UK many times.
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:57
			Yes, in London.
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:59
			I had a fight there.
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:00
			Oh, yes.
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:00
			Oh, yeah, that's right.
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:05
			You know, I try to tell you long
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:09
			stories about my career, my boxing career and
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:10
			for the wife.
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:12
			But I have some problems.
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:14
			My English is a little...
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:15
			No, we understand your English now.
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:16
			We understand fully.
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:19
			And I have, if you ask me three
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:20
			questions, that's it, OK?
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:21
			Yeah, yeah, yeah.
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:24
			We'll try and make it as quickly as
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:24
			possible.
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			But your English is very good, very fantastic.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:29
			We understand, especially because now there's many people
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:32
			coming from these Caucasus regions like Habib and
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:32
			Hamzat.
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:35
			So we understand the accent fully now.
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:36
			It's like...
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:38
			It's a good one.
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:41
			I was going to ask...
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:43
			Too busy with boxing and don't have time
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:45
			to learn English, no?
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			No, but you're definitely good at English.
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:50
			I was going to ask you, obviously you're
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:52
			Chechen, by nationality or from origin.
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:54
			Have you done any wrestling before?
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:55
			Anything like that?
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57
			Yeah, I started wrestling, boxing.
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:59
			At the same time?
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01
			At the same time, but I stayed in
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:01
			boxing.
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:04
			So you can wrestle as well?
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:05
			No.
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:05
			No?
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			Because almost all the Dagestanis and the Chechens
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:12
			I've met have some wrestling experience.
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:13
			That's something they do.
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:16
			We don't do testing, we don't.
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:17
			No, no, no, not today.
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:20
			That's...
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:23
			Your amateur record doesn't appear on some of
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:23
			the things.
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			Like your amateur fights.
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:27
			Did you do like...
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:30
			Before you became professional, you were amateur.
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32
			How many fights do you have?
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:34
			Almost 300.
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:35
			Really?
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:36
			Oh my God.
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:39
			It's too long, you know.
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:40
			I'm 30 years in boxing.
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:45
			Amateur fighters, correct me if I'm wrong, maximum
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:47
			20, 30 is a good number for...
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:49
			Because they are good boxers, and they do
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:50
			both.
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:52
			But 300...
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:53
			Maybe, what does that mean?
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:55
			Like twice a week, something, what do you
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:55
			do?
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:56
			I don't know.
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:58
			I don't remember.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:02
			But one of the fights you had was
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:03
			with Oleksandr Usyk.
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:04
			You had...
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06
			I think you fought him, what, two times
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:06
			or three?
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:07
			Three.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:08
			Three times.
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:10
			On 81 kilo.
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:10
			Yeah.
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:12
			Category and 91 kilo, two times.
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:15
			Let me ask you a question.
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:18
			In the future, would you ever think of
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:21
			fighting Oleksandr Usyk and going up to the
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:21
			heavyweight division?
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:24
			No, heavyweight, no.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:29
			But cruiserweight, I can make cruiserweight.
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:30
			But not heavyweight.
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:31
			Heavyweight is too much, you know.
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:35
			I'll be too busy eating, you know.
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:36
			Eating all the time.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:37
			And I need to train...
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			We can help you with this training camp,
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:40
			brother.
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:42
			We have all the food here in Luton.
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:47
			But I think your style was very tricky
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:47
			for him.
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:49
			If people watch that fight, people will see.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:50
			It's very tricky for him.
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52
			Maybe even if you did it, it would
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:53
			be a great test for him.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			If you did fight Usyk, let's be honest,
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:57
			like cruiserweight.
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			Let's say he goes down and you go
		
00:24:59 --> 00:24:59
			up a little bit.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			How do you think that fight will go?
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:04
			We can ask Roy.
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:06
			I don't know.
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:11
			Because, you know, I'm not that boxer like
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13
			Roy Jones, like these guys.
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
			Because I'm not a fan of boxing.
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:20
			I don't know what I do in boxing,
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:22
			but I just do training.
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:24
			You don't watch it?
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:24
			No.
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:26
			Really?
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:27
			No, I don't watch boxing.
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:33
			I like to use boxing as my job,
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:34
			you know.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			But when you want to improve your boxing,
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:39
			do you not watch particular boxers?
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:42
			No, when I have a fight, we watch
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:44
			some videos.
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:46
			Who do you watch?
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:48
			When I have a fight?
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:50
			When I have a fight, we watch him.
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:51
			The other person?
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			Not a person, another fighter.
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:54
			The opponent?
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:55
			The opponent.
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			Would you ever look at another fighter?
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:59
			You said in many interviews before, like Muhammad
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:00
			Ali, for example.
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:01
			So you've watched him fight.
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:04
			I'm not there.
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:05
			I'm not a fan of boxing.
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:06
			Really?
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:08
			Very interesting.
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:09
			No, I know Muhammad Ali.
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:12
			I've watched a couple of his fights.
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:17
			But I don't remember where they fight, who
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:18
			they fight.
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:19
			Really?
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:21
			We ask them, they know that.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:25
			You're not into the trivia, all this stuff.
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:27
			But you're just into the fighting itself.
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:28
			Yeah, it's like my job.
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:30
			You do your job now.
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:34
			Excuse me, sir.
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:35
			He is from Russia.
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:36
			From Russia?
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:40
			But you represented Russia and Canada before, isn't
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:40
			it?
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:42
			But now only Russia.
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:44
			No, now I represent both.
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:46
			Both?
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:47
			Russia and Canada.
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:49
			But most of your life you spent in
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:50
			Russia?
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:51
			Or in Canada?
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:53
			Past, yes.
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:55
			In the future, I don't know.
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:56
			We'll see.
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:57
			We'll see what happens.
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:00
			Okay, there's been some discussion, but I saw
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:02
			it on social media with you and Jake
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:02
			Paul.
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:07
			I mean, this is...
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:10
			What do you want to achieve from this?
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:13
			You know, Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali are
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:14
			my favorite boxers.
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:16
			Even though I'm not a fan of boxing.
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:20
			And, like, Jake Paul beating...
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:22
			I think it's not real.
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:23
			I don't know.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			And it's my first reaction.
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:26
			Do you think it's staged?
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:27
			I don't know.
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:29
			I mean, it's my first reaction.
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:30
			I want to pay him back.
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:33
			Show him something for boxing.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:34
			To try, maybe.
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:36
			You want to fight him?
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:38
			And I just...
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:41
			I just offer him, like, if you want
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:43
			real boxing, we can do it.
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:43
			Show him.
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			Do you think he would accept your challenge?
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:48
			Let's be honest, let's be honest.
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:50
			I think this man, he's taking steroids, okay?
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:52
			I think he is taking steroids.
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:53
			So, if you want to fight him, you
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:54
			have to put...
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:55
			You can't take steroids.
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:58
			You have to put this in the contract.
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:58
			But I did.
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:00
			Yeah, and maybe also he has to have,
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:02
			like, a baseball bat as well.
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:03
			To make it fair.
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:04
			I will bring that.
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:08
			No, but honestly, like, if you did fight
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:09
			him and it was a real fight, I
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:10
			think the fight will be finished in two
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:11
			rounds maximum.
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:13
			And that's giving him a lot of credit.
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:14
			One round, really.
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:15
			We don't know what...
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:18
			We know what happened with Mike Tyson and
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:21
			Jeff Polk, but I tell you, like, Roy
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:25
			Jones beating, like, maybe two rounds maximum.
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:26
			Yes.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:27
			One round, actually.
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:28
			Maybe one round finish him.
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:31
			Do you think he's a good boxer, though?
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:32
			Do you think he's got potential?
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:35
			Or do you think he's a...
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:36
			He's good, yeah.
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:37
			He's okay.
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:37
			Yeah.
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:43
			So long as he...
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:48
			He's got potential for you.
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:50
			So now you've become the Unified Light Heavyweight
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:52
			Champion, which is congratulations.
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:53
			Undisputed.
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:55
			Undisputed.
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:56
			Everybody, please.
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:00
			It was a phenomenal achievement.
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:03
			Obviously, it was a close fight.
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:05
			It was something that people spoke about.
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:06
			And everybody...
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:08
			I saw Eddie Hearn came out and he
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:10
			had his comments straight away and stuff like
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:10
			that.
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:11
			But you know Eddie Hearn.
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:12
			I mean, he knows him better as well.
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:20
			But, you know, they want to do this
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:20
			match.
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:21
			You're going to...
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:22
			They want to do the match.
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:26
			Has it just been announced?
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:27
			Is the announcement?
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:28
			Yeah, I don't know.
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:31
			See, look, he's a bigger fan than you
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:32
			are because he knows before you even.
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:35
			It's been announced just now, has it?
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:38
			Oh, it's been announced just now that Bibble
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:40
			BF2 is going to the rematch.
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:43
			After this fight, InshaAllah, when you beat him
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:47
			again even more decisively so there's nobody saying
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:47
			anything.
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:48
			Is there...
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:50
			Who else do you want to take on?
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:52
			You know, I'm 40 already.
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:55
			Yes, maybe.
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:56
			I don't know.
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:58
			But Roy Jones was...
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59
			How old were you, 42, is it, when
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:01
			you came back to boxing?
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:04
			Yeah, so, I mean, it has been there
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:05
			with George Foreman.
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:06
			But I have rest before, you know.
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:08
			He take rest and I'll take him back
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:08
			to box.
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:10
			You want to take a rest?
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:16
			I need to rest, like, you know, there's
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:17
			no time for rest now.
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:18
			We have to do it.
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			But if you could fight somebody, who would
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:22
			be your dream opponent?
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:24
			Clearly.
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:26
			Apart from Jake Paul.
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:29
			In the beginning of our conversation, I told
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:30
			you I'm not a fan of boxing and
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:32
			I'm not dreaming about boxing.
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:33
			Yes.
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:35
			What about Tyson Fury?
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:40
			Let's imagine that there was big money on
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:42
			the table, something huge thing happened and you
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:47
			say, listen, Tyson Fury, I mean, Usyk beat
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:47
			him.
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			You've got a style, I'm not going to
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:52
			say similar to Usyk, but definitely tricky for
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:53
			someone like Tyson Fury.
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:54
			What do you think would happen in a
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:55
			fight between you and Fury?
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:56
			Let's imagine.
		
00:30:59 --> 00:30:59
			We can imagine.
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:05
			You know, it's like, if I do, like,
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:08
			these things, like, imagine, like, I want to
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:09
			fight with him or with him.
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:11
			I don't have time to do my job,
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:12
			or my training.
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:20
			It's a pleasure and an honor to interview
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:21
			all of you.
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:24
			One last question I'm going to ask you
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:25
			before we end.
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:28
			Give me a rundown of your daily routine.
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:29
			Daily routine?
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:31
			Yeah, what you do in the morning, like
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:32
			how you eat, how you go to training,
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:34
			how many times you go to training.
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:35
			Just tell us what you do on a
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:36
			daily basis.
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:37
			Two times per day.
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:43
			I do training, morning, 7 to 9.
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:48
			And 3 to 5.
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:51
			Okay, so like four hours a day.
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:52
			Four hours a day.
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:54
			But it's minimum, and after training, I always
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:56
			stay there like an hour.
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:58
			It's more or less.
		
00:31:58 --> 00:31:59
			And do you do, like, running?
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:00
			Or do you not do any running?
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:02
			There is, like, I have a condition coach.
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:03
			Yes.
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:06
			I have, per week, I have running and,
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:09
			like, different things.
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:11
			Like circuits and stuff like that, jumping up
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:13
			and down, going up, these kind of things.
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:16
			And he says two times a day, every
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:16
			day.
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:19
			Rest.
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:21
			And what do you do for recovery?
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:22
			You go into, like, the ice bath?
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:24
			You like this stuff, like the ice bath
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:25
			or anything like that?
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:26
			Massage or?
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:29
			I try ice bath, but I like more
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:29
			sauna.
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:30
			Sauna, yeah?
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:33
			Yeah, because ice bath is very uncomfortable.
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:36
			No, it's like, but it's good too, but
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:38
			I more prefer sauna.
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:40
			Yeah, and how do you eat?
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:41
			What kind of food do you have, like,
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:42
			every day?
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:44
			Khalil.
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:46
			Khalil.
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:50
			Khalil, you know?
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:54
			Yeah, like, I don't know, you know, for
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:57
			example, I can eat if I have camp.
		
00:32:58 --> 00:33:01
			I have, like, for example, I have main
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:04
			training is at 3 o'clock and for
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:07
			lunch I eat one month to two months
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:09
			spaghetti with some meat.
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:10
			The same food every single day?
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:11
			Same food.
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:13
			You get not bored, something like that?
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:14
			It's OK, yeah?
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:16
			You have some sauce with it, nothing?
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:18
			Yeah, but spaghetti is, like, good for, you
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:19
			know, for energy.
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:20
			Cardio and stuff.
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:21
			Do you take any?
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:22
			Yeah.
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:26
			Do you take any supplements?
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:27
			Of course.
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:28
			Which one do you take?
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:30
			Not the same one like Jake Paul, because
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:31
			that's a different thing.
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:34
			I don't know who take this.
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:40
			I take, you know, it's a good question,
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:44
			because I take supplements or vitamins, like, you
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:48
			know, when I'm a kid, because I'm, like,
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:52
			I don't know, I'm really, my mum is
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:55
			nurse and she always, she always give me
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:56
			some vitamins.
		
00:33:56 --> 00:33:58
			And do you know what you're taking, like
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:00
			vitamin C, vitamin D, all that stuff?
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:02
			Yes, and since that time I'm always, like,
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:05
			following these things and I think it's good,
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:05
			like.
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:06
			It's good, yeah?
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:09
			It's good for kids and when you're growing
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:11
			up, like, you know, if you have these
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:11
			things.
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:19
			The red one, it makes your cardio better.
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:20
			Ah, yeah, yeah.
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:25
			There's some evidence, liver as well?
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:27
			Liver, I eat liver always.
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:29
			Liver, yeah?
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:31
			I hope my wife, she's listening, she will
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:31
			get this liver as well.
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:33
			She will get it.
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:35
			Any other thing, you eat special things?
		
00:34:39 --> 00:34:41
			Okay, one last question.
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:44
			When you are fighting, how do you breathe?
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:45
			Breathe?
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:49
			When you punch, do you breathe out?
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:50
			I'm not breathing.
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:54
			Do you breathe with your nose?
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:56
			Yeah, my coach, you know, it's a long
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:59
			time ago, he tell me, like, when you
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:02
			do, when you boxing, when you do punch,
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:03
			you need to breathe out.
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:03
			I'm breathing out.
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:05
			Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:07
			And this help, I find this help for
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:09
			the, yeah, no?
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:11
			Okay, yes.
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:15
			But I don't know that 25 years ago.
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:19
			I don't know that.
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:22
			He was asking me before, because sometimes we
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:24
			see you doing, like, we the Muslims, we
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:25
			know, but I think it's better if we
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:26
			tell everyone.
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:29
			Sometimes you do, like, you say something under
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:30
			your breath, okay?
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:32
			In the press conference, in this.
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:35
			Tell us, what's the secret words you are?
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:36
			It's secret words.
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:41
			And I want to say something like, here
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:43
			is, everyone say, Alhamdulillah.
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:45
			We always say that, Alhamdulillah.
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:48
			And then I have, if I can, I
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:50
			do telling you this story.
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:54
			I don't know you can approve, or it's
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:55
			true or not true.
		
00:35:56 --> 00:36:01
			And I heard about, like, if Muslim people,
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:05
			like, you know, he get some good news,
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:08
			or someone kill him, all the world, you
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:08
			know.
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:12
			If he says, Alhamdulillah, it's better to him,
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:18
			than the whole, he get it, you know?
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:18
			SubhanAllah.
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:20
			It means, Alhamdulillah.
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:22
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:24
			So, Alhamdulillah, for those who don't know, it
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:27
			just means, praise and thanks belongs to Allah.
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:29
			So, you are thanking Allah for everything you
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:29
			have.
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:31
			And by the way, do you know how
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:34
			they would translate this into Christian language?
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:35
			It's Hallelujah.
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:38
			It's the same, but it's Hallelujah, they say
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:39
			once in a while.
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:41
			But this is something we as Muslims, we
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:43
			would say all the time, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah,
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:44
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:46
			Like, praise and thanks be to Allah.
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:51
			Does it help you?
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:52
			Does it help you get into a good
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:53
			state of mind before?
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:57
			I mean, I don't say Alhamdulillah before fight,
		
00:36:57 --> 00:36:58
			I say after fight.
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:01
			Which one do you say?
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:09
			Before fight, I say, SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, La hawla
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:12
			wa la quwwata illa billah, Hasanallah wa ni'ma
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:12
			wakil.
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:17
			SubhanAllah wa ni'ma wakil.
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:18
			InshaAllah.
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:20
			And I think that's a beautiful way to
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:21
			end it.
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:22
			Thank you everyone.
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:25
			The secret is out.
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:29
			And now I know what to say in
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:31
			certain fights that I'm going to be having
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:32
			on the 14th of December.
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:33
			We'll see.
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:35
			Thank you very much for that.
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:36
			I appreciate it.
		
00:37:36 --> 00:37:40
			And thank you to everybody for that.
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:42
			I mean, it was a pleasure speaking to
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:42
			all of you.
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:44
			I've gotten tips from myself as well.
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:47
			And with that, we will conclude.
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:49
			I hope you guys have had a fantastic
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:50
			evening.
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:51
			We're going to give it back to you.
		
00:37:57 --> 00:37:57
			Good, good.
		
00:37:58 --> 00:37:59
			He's definitely ready for the fight.
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:01
			He's got a bunch of good fighters here.
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:02
			He's swimming with the guys, you know.
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:04
			If you can keep your head above water,
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:07
			you know, in the sparring rounds, rolling, grappling,
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:10
			striking, then, you know, he's going to be
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:10
			fine.
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:13
			I'm Stuart Austin, head MMA coach at Farzone.
		
00:38:13 --> 00:38:16
			I'm still a professional fighter and obviously head
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:18
			coach at the gym for the MMA program.
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:19
			How's your training going?
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:20
			It's going alright.
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:21
			I've lost weight, as you can see.
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:34
			On the 14th of December, there's going to
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:37
			be some fireworks that's going to take place
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:38
			in Coventry.
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:40
			I'm going to make my professional MMA debut.
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:43
			And I'm going to take on a very
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:46
			stiff and competent opponent, a boxer.
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:49
			I've been training here with some of the
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:51
			best heavyweights in the country.
		
00:38:51 --> 00:38:53
			Actually, some of the coaches here, like Stuart
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:56
			Austin, who's the only person that ever beaten
		
00:38:56 --> 00:39:00
			Tom Aspinall, who's a UFC heavyweight champion.
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:02
			I think someone else might have had like
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:02
			a DQ in or something.
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:06
			He's got a fantastic record and now he's
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:07
			a coach.
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:09
			We've got Mario Pinto, who's also a UFC
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:11
			heavyweight that I've traded with.
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:12
			And also, he's like a coach.
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:19
			He's also undefeated.
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:22
			Of course, we've got Shah Kamani as well,
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:26
			who's a up-and-comer Bengali person, heavyweight,
		
00:39:26 --> 00:39:26
			4-0.
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:28
			And he's got a fight coming up as
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:29
			well in December.
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:31
			So, we've got the team.
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:33
			I'm very privileged to be with people like
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:35
			this and with this much experience.
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:38
			I'm hoping it's going to be a fantastic
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:39
			day on the 14th, actually.
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:50
			So, make sure that you watch this on
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:51
			pay-per-view.
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:53
			20%, one-fifth of the earnings will go
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:53
			to charity.
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:56
			We'll go to the Lebanese prices.
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:57
			We know what's going on there.
		
00:39:57 --> 00:39:59
			And so, we can, inshallah, raise money and
		
00:39:59 --> 00:40:00
			be entertained at the same time.
