Josh, obviously, because with a wave of titles currently committed, you hope that if Tim Zoo stops by a caravan, then he'll get the cookie from him, Charlo, so is that even possible? Do you think with him this year or do you hope he doesn't fragment? I mean, I think the Charlize the box titles for a while, they could just disperse, but if they do, they're not.

I mean, I'm ranked in all the government agencies, that means I have, I have a chance and I have a chance. to any of them and to any of the top guys and the way I'm performing in the gym the guys are um she what do you show in fortnite? So this right now you see, go um right away from that Josh just looking towards the In the future you mentioned war titles, but I know, but it was for this one that will always be linked to your name, whether it happens or not, it's another question, but Conor downplayed whether or not the two of you would cross paths. there's no chance to take any chances at this stage of his career, he, he, he was in that fight, but I mean other big wins and no big wins for me, British title wins.
I've seen legit opponents, he hasn't, he hasn't unpacked anyone yet. Out of the coast of who has real substance, these boxes ended particularly in his career, who did it and came up with it was very light to like weights, but he has no one among anyone who is who has come to the game and is at the best time like a Troy or like another nation or something like that. Well, then he's just playing his little mind games to allow him to do that one thing that I'm interested in, obviously, keeping that British toll. Do you think that's a selling point because he's never been boxed or held by himself?
No, he never has. he's never boxed for an English level title, never mind a British title, uh, well, never mind, well, never mind shooting well, that's what I mean, sure I am, I'm fine where I am, let him keep doing it , I do not think it is like that. your corner, I think someone who's like Manny Pacquiao or Kell Brook or someone like that who's had a career at the end of his career and says yeah, if he wins it's just one of them where you might have to wait until he comes a Cropper against one of them to even get a fight like that, but I'm on my journey, it's not about him, it's about me, so I'm looking at my guys in my division at the top, so I'm legit.
I have shown that I can come back in the face of my adversity and show everything that was wrong. I'm legit so I'm going to go to the top bracket obviously I'm going to mention those names for Kano he's looking for a potential I'm really sorry from time to time. announced that for Eubank Jr. rather, what were his thoughts if he wanted to share everything with Chris Eubank Jr almost a year after when he was originally scheduled for people to see it? It's Eubank and Ben's because the father in the deal would sell the fight for them, um, that's it for you.
I know you said you're trying to establish yourself as a top contender at 154 for most people. 154. I think that's the Italian Liam Smith, the best in Britain, obviously, what he's achieved where he is currently and the fight is lining up, do you think at some point it will be a five-year exploration with your team and you consider that I'm not sure Smith is a good Frenchman and Liam Jack 160 right now as middleware, but I mean, am I coming? Like I said, I'm coming for that, not the first place, so anyone who's close to that first place, then if it makes sense we'll fight, it's hard, even if you're good friends, to climb up and make yourself.
At number one in the 154 division, Liam is currently at 160, but would you take it sooner if he was there? No, it

wouldn

't be difficult to meet his friends, but I just don't want someone to badmouth me if I do. I have that kind of thing. I have respect for limes. I did a lot on the spot, but he's in it. He's in it right now. If you want to come, 154 and that's another another conversation, um, Josh just goes back and forth. Rather, last weekend you saw a campmate of yours, unfortunately, come up short on his total until he came out in Belfast on his Michael Conlins loss to Luis Alberto Lopez.
Just your thoughts on what went wrong for me. I'm not sure if it really was his shelf at night, um, could he have one more box, he could have done it with a handshake and I'm not sure the kid was tough and strong and just seemed to walk through everything, like if you shoot a heavyweight, it doesn't matter, it's one of them. um, in retrospect, we see a lot of things, but it's about what we want to do now and what he wants to do is with respect to him, his family in his career, it's up to him, he'll just realize that he has enough experience, as I mention.
How difficult the loss was for the gym because of how close the bond they will share will be. What has it been like for you personally to see someone who is in the world-class fighter program time and time again fall short of what their true goal was? big moment on the Big Night next week and starting to train was like it should be shit, you have to block it in a sense, but I mean, I was lucky that he won that fight with Leeward and that happened and I think this guy, Lopez, will fall. Also in the division in a couple of years he could be one of them when you sit there and think he's done everything in the division.
He is an absolute animal because he is orthodox. He is athletic. He hits hard. It's tough just to build a world champion. when fights are made if sometimes the shoe appears in the night and they realize things, he is mature enough, I know it's not your place, disabled people wonder whether or not he could return to the ring, do you think that we will see him return, that is not my case? opinion um, I think he's good enough to win the world, he's on his terms and what he wants to do is easy. Local man, that's pretty fair on just a few other fighters, he just thinks before I let you go and some fights announce that I.
I'm on the horizon a man you know as Josh Taylor takes on Stephen Lopez next weekend just your thoughts on that fight it's a great fight it's a tough fight exciting fight another game of wolves and everything Josh is definitely game and everything Lopez likes her small and whatever. It's going to be a great preparation and a good fight. I think it will be fireworks. I would hope they would work. I'm on the fence, I'm obviously looking for Josh, but I'm totally right. the um on the fence, I think if Josh can do a similar job to what he did against the program, then I knew that she Josh is a great uh, well, if you can use your size and he's done everything correctly and I didn't come, he came out. up him I was about to say get those splinters out, buddy, yeah, just another one.
Spence Crawford was announced the other day. Everyone is excited about it. Just your opinion please Josh, he is victorious and Crawford is adapting each fight. He seems to adapt in every fight. The situation is if it is difficult, it has been a pleasant experience. I'm not saying Spence isn't, but Crawford's team has always overcome every challenge put in front of them, so I think Crawford knows some of his fan days well. Anthony Joshua um he has come out of that he is not going to continue the fight with Taurus inferior according to his team only your Strength has been that is a correct move do you think he should still visit that fight?
I don't know, I just kind of took, he um, money is stupid at the top, you've got titles there to win, let's put them on the line and put them in to make sure that's the case, right? I don't know how frustrating that is. tonight you just mentioned some kind of back and forth in the heavyweight division when you consider we just announced Spence Crawford, you just saw Hangy Lomachenko, Taylor Lopez next weekend, um, tank and Ryan, plus, All these brilliant fights have been important, Cameron. Taylor, as Adam mentioned to me and yet the heavyweight mix always seems to hit a roadblock, yeah, it's big guys, big money, big politics, big promoters, big egos, you got everything that makes the mix, yeah , he says, why can't you see?
To be honest, that's just a recipe for disaster, but look, I think someone just needs to put it out there and say, listen, the money is there and the titles are there. I'm going to fight and that's it and then. Because I'm going to get to Twilight of his career anyway, so keep going, okay Josh, my pleasure, as always, of course, good luck in Fortnite and thanks for talking to me, thanks brother.
