Dave you're going to ask me Dave you're going to ask what happened on Monday at TalkSport and I'll tell you straight up I just cast his weight. How was it? I cast his appearance. He's obviously insecure about it. Camera's been on. He's got this guy this cameraman this Javi Hill looking guy doing the cameras. Alright cool. He's recording something. They're editing it a certain way. That's what happened.
02:37Look if you see those cameras you'll see what happened. So what happened was he couldn't get to me. He tried to say you've lost too much weight. You won't be able to hold his shots. I laughed. I said you ain't got to worry about that. Then he got frustrated because I'm not reacting to him. So he decided to pipe up for no reason. I didn't pipe up. Pipe up and do what though? What did I pipe up and do? Bro you piped up and stood in a corner bro. I piped up and what? You stood in a corner bro. And did what? And did what to pipe up though?
03:04Bro you piped up for no reason. What did I do to pipe up? I didn't react to you. What did I do to pipe up? Say what I did to pipe up. Bro you just pulled up. Bro you just tried to pull up in my face bro. What did I do to pipe up though? You're saying I piped up. Bro you tried to flex your muscles in my face my brother. How did I flex my muscles man? What did I do? Bro you tried and it didn't work. You say what I did though you keep saying I did something. And what you're saying was that like. Hey do you know what?

09:07I'm sure Frank might might pull that face off, but we have a
09:16Let's talk about the main event on Saturday night the return of the juggernaut Joe Joyce
09:21Taking on Philip L animal Hergevich a brilliant high-level
09:25Crossroads fight in the heavyweight division and I'll start with Philip Hergevich because Philip
09:31Hey, you got this call quite late
09:33But you say you were in camp you were training you are ready, how are you feeling about this fight?
09:38Are we still main event after this?
09:43Are you switch
09:48Yeah, it was short notice I
09:52Had just a few weeks, but like I said, I was already in a good shape
09:58That's why I accepted this fight and I think it's good
10:03Opportunity for me and this win hopefully on Saturday brings me back to the top and
10:12Good to be part of this. Thank you for opportunity. Thanks to Queensbury. Thanks to the zone and
10:22Yeah looking forward
10:24To win on Saturday to knock him out and to get back to the top. That's the plan
10:31Tell us how the the mindset is right now for Philip Hergevich
10:36This is the first time in your career. You were looking to bounce back from a loss. What's the motivation like?
10:42What's the mentality like heading into Saturday?
10:47Motivation is big for sure and like I said, I want to come back to the top and
10:54like
10:55Frank said on on the beginning the loser would be will be in very bad position
11:02so I don't want to lose for sure and
11:06I
11:08Love I have a lot of motivation and
11:13Yeah, that's it
11:15Let's bring in the juggernaut Joe Joyce. Great to see you again Joe and
11:20Tell me what what's going on with you because you were meant to fight Dillian white suddenly
11:25It's not white you've chosen Hergevich. A lot of people in boxing are saying this is a more difficult fight
11:31Why have you picked this fight?
11:33It's a good fight good entertainment good to be here and I expect a great performance
11:40It's good to share the ring with perfect again
11:43We had a good scrap last time like 12 years ago the same results gonna happen
11:48I'm gonna win and then get elevated back up to the top of the sport and
11:53I'm really excited to be here again and
11:57It's a great new arena there
11:59So it's going to be as you can see there's a lot of excitement here. So it's going to be a great night of boxing
12:10Philip I spoke to you briefly for a quick interview
12:13I also watched your interview with Fox Nation and that there seems to be this theme that you feel like Joe Joyce is
12:20Finished you said that he's damaged. Do you stand by that? Tell us more?
12:25Man, he's 40 years old. So he's not
12:30actually
12:34Okay, I didn't know then then if 39 then he's young I didn't know that I
12:40Thought you're 40, but look he's definitely not in the peak of his career and
12:52Fighters getting older and that's just reality and I'm seven years younger and
13:01I think I'm
13:04It's it's gonna
13:06Play the
13:08Role in this fight
13:13Joe you said something that he said he's got a lot of mileage as well
13:16What are you thinking on what we're getting it gonna get from Philip Herlovich?
13:20well, I know exactly what to expect and
13:23fighting before and I've trained with able before so I know what to expect and you know, he's
13:30Like I said, he's had a lot of mileage. He's been in the sport a long time. He's had a lot of hard fights
13:35But I think it's gonna be a great fight and I look forward to knocking him out on Saturday night
13:42Any thoughts on that Philip?
13:45Man if this guy knocked me out his his slow like a fog, man
13:51So, I don't know how he gonna knock me out, but slow like a what would you say like a fog fog?
13:58You know what this fog like a cloud
14:01like fog
14:03Right, so your nickname your next nickname could be fog Joe fog
14:18So, yeah, he's very slow I don't know
14:22How he's gonna knock me out, but look we'll see on Saturday. I mean, you're not the fastest person either. He's
14:30Good fighter brave, man
14:34Me as well, so it's gonna be a good fight. Definitely
14:39Are you ready for a for a war on Saturday though if it does get hard in there, you know
14:45You haven't had the the longest camp for this fight if suddenly it gets five six seven eight
14:51Have you got the tank to stand toe-to-toe with the juggernaut?
14:55Yeah, of course, I like I said, I was
14:58Already in a shape when I got this invitation
15:02So I just needed to do
15:06Sparrings and I did that but I had a lot of
15:10preparations before a lot of hard work before so I
15:15Think I'm in good shape. Yeah, I'm ready to
15:19go
15:21if
15:22Go if 10 round will be I'm ready for 10 rounds as well. Yeah
15:29Who does that?
15:31It's 10 rounds instead of 12. Who does that suit?
15:38Well, it probably suits him better if it says he's in shape but let's let's see Saturday night, right
15:45We
15:47Will certainly see on Saturday night
15:49So you're predicting a big juggernaut KO and back towards a world title for yourself. That's the plan and
15:56Philip what's the plan Saturday?
16:00win, of course
16:01win and
16:05Become a world champion. That's the plan
16:09Okay, thank you Joe. Thank you Philip there goes the table again
16:14Frank
16:18It's been quite quite an exciting press conference
16:21Very well, it's a great fight. You know, we got the three heavyweights. You've got delicious starting out in the journey
16:26You've got David and Jamie you seems gonna be a lively folks to be as lively as was as the press conference
16:32You know, they're going to the next level the winner go to the next level and you've got Joe and you got Philip and as
16:38I said before
16:39One of them's gonna go on and one of them's not because that is how it's gonna be
16:44So this is this is no heavyweight boxing
16:48Great heavyweight boxing its best and we've got great British British presence in it
16:53so I'm looking forward to it and I'm looking forward to this fight between Joe and Philip because they're too
16:59Unbelievable. They have unbelievable pedigrees as Olympians
17:03amateurs
17:05And obviously as pros they fought at the highest level so
17:10Who wants who's gonna stay at the top table? We'll find out on Saturday night. This is gonna be a fight
17:15The both of them know what they've got to do. They're mature
17:19Fighters they know what is at stake on Saturday and what is at stake is their future at?
17:26the top of the heavyweight division
17:29Thank You Frank best of luck to you Joe Joyce best of luck to you Philip Hergovich
17:34Thank you to everyone at this table

18:04You
