And that's why I walk around like, how I walk around. Like, I'm just full of confidence, I'm full of hard work, I'm full of success. And I believe in me, you know what I'm saying? I got some big goals. Little girls and little boys been looking up to me for a very long time.

All the girls that box. Who you fa. Fighting? Oh, Caress Shields. Caress Shields. But when I heard a little boy say it, I was like, ah man, like times is changing, you know.

You just know what you know, you know, God say, you know, I am who I am and that's just what it is. [00:02:35] Speaker A: I feel that. Well, congratulations on that. Sorry, go ahead.

I want to hurt her. [00:02:58] Speaker A: Yeah, she said you can touch it, not put it on. [00:03:02] Speaker C: So that's the ring magazine belt. Basically when you get that belt, that's the belt that you get when you won every belt in A division. [00:03:08] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:03:09] Speaker C: So I have three of those because I won every belt. I supposed to have five of them, but I won every building five different divisions so far. [00:03:16] Speaker B: How much does this weigh? [00:03:18] Speaker C: Too damn much. That's why it's a suitcase that got it wheeled in here. Yeah, here you go. [00:03:23] Speaker A: Here, I'll put it. Oh, now you put it. [00:03:25] Speaker B: It is heavy and I'm fragile. Congratulations. [00:03:29] Speaker C: Thank you. [00:03:30] Speaker B: Can we go back to your early years? I'm very interested to know what type of student were you growing up? [00:03:37] Speaker C: I was a quiet student up in school. I was friends with everybody, the jocks, the geeks, the people who they caught, you know, weird or whatever. I was right in the middle of that. And also I grew up poor till I was in high school. So I didn't really like go out to like the movies and stuff like that and hang out. But I was friends with everybody cuz I was a good athlete. I was a honor roll student. I graduated with a 3.0 GPA and I even went to college for six months, which college was not for me, but I went. [00:04:10] Speaker B: Yeah, college isn't a requirement for boxing. [00:04:14] Speaker C: Nah, just knowing how to fight is only school that I had to go to for that. Nah, that's it. [00:04:23] Speaker B: Did you struggle in college? What about it? Wasn't it for you? [00:04:28] Speaker C: Honestly, I think just being there was not for me. I mean I already had won the Olympics and then I'm trying to Go to college. And I was going to college to do something I'm doing now, business management and mass communication. So I wanted to do kind of what y' all doing to me, asking me questions, and y' all gonna have, like, a storyline, and you'll be videos and stuff. I wanted to document other athletes and peop and other, like, phenomenal people, because I think sometime people don't get their stories right, and I wanted to kind of be that person to get their story right. [00:04:58] Speaker A: So that's why I was initially going to specifically athletes. Like, you wanted to tell the stories of athletes. [00:05:03] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:05:03] Speaker A: Got you. [00:05:04] Speaker C: And it's. And it's so much more outside of sport that I wanted to do. Like, you can ask them, oh, why, oh, why you like basketball? They say, oh, I like Duncan. I like this. But, like, I want to get deeper into it. Like, what made you love this sport? You know, who inspired you? You know, what is the conversation that changed your life? Stuff like that. That they don't really get asked and stuff like that. [00:05:23] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:05:24] Speaker C: Like, getting more into the mental part of it. [00:05:26] Speaker B: So when you're going to school for this, you're in your mind. You're not even about to be an athlete. You're going to be the person who's telling the stories for the athletes. [00:05:34] Speaker C: But I was also getting ready for the second Olympics, too. [00:05:37] Speaker B: Okay. [00:05:38] Speaker C: So that's the reason why it didn't work out, because I was still going to tournaments and fighting across the country. Bulgaria, China. I'm still fighting. And they wanted me to be there in person at the school. And it's like, well, can't do that. I have to go to Colorado Springs and train for a month, and then we have to go to a whole nother country for another month. So it was like, I really didn't have time for school. [00:05:59] Speaker B: Yeah. Was there a moment that you just absolutely said, okay, I'm gonna give up on that and focus on this? Or do you still have. Is it still a goal of yours to tell stories for athletes? [00:06:10] Speaker C: Well, right now, I'm more focused on making sure that I get my story told the right way. I think for me, going to college, I learned how to control the narrative and also tell my story. People will create these stories about me, and. And I. And I seen it get done when I was 21, till I was 25, you know, fighting on Showtime back then. And I fought on a few different networks, but I gave Showtime a lot of time to kind of control my. Control my story. And that's where I Think a lot of this. You know, I'm not gonna say ugly pictures, but really, you know, strong pictures come from where it's like all these videos of me going off of my opponents or me working really hard at the gym and not really caring about how I look. Just, just, just working hard and trash talking. And when I realized that my fans were scared of me, that's when I said, okay, I gotta get control of this. And I started doing more of my own thing and making social media be my, be my platform for that. Yeah, at first I really didn't want to deal with social media that much. [00:07:10] Speaker A: What made you think that your. The, like, what was the thing that made you think the fans were. Your. Your fans were scared of you? They told me just in general, people would just be like, intimidating. [00:07:19] Speaker C: People love how I box, they love how I fight. They even love my comedies in my trash talk, but it's intimidating. So when I was going to all these big fights, you know, watching Canelo, watching Deontay Water and Errol Spence, it would be little girls and they'd be like, I love how she fights, but like. But I'm scared to ask her for a picture. [00:07:35] Speaker A: Wow. [00:07:35] Speaker C: And I was like, you scared to ask me for a picture? My girl ain't gonna do nothing. [00:07:39] Speaker A: Wow. [00:07:40] Speaker C: And she was like, I'm just saying, you just look so mean and up on tv, they got you cussing out this girl or cussing out this opponent, and I'm just like, well, I'm selling the fight and I'm pretty agitated while I'm training, but I'm not gonna do nothing to a regular person or to another fighter who asks for a picture. [00:07:56] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:07:57] Speaker C: You know, so that's when I was like, I don't want my fans to be scared of me now. I wanna be respected. Yes. But scared of me is just like, that was too much. [00:08:05] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:08:05] Speaker B: Did you or your team come up with any sort of angle so that you can kinda more so personalize yourself with the fans so they aren't scared of you? [00:08:17] Speaker C: I did that. [00:08:20] Speaker A: Trial and error. [00:08:21] Speaker C: Team ain't do nothing. I mean, we got pictures. Like I had on this one wig and his pink dress. I said, why did I wear that, man? But I was, I was learning which. Which look is me, which will make me feel more comfortable, you know, And I just remember trying, like, so many different hairstyles and trying on a few different dresses, a few different body suits, some clothes, and. And then it finally got to the point I'm like, listen, if I look in the mirror. And I like it. I'm going to wear it. If I don't feel comfortable wearing it, I'm not going to do it. So I can't keep up with the girls right now. Who's. We like the stuff with their booty out and got the pants unbuttoned and unzipped with the panties showing. I can't get into that. But it's more like I can still do. [00:08:55] Speaker B: I can't either, though. [00:08:56] Speaker C: Yeah. But it's. It's like everybody is doing it. It's like, listen, I believe that I can still be sexy without doing that. [00:09:02] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:09:03] Speaker C: And I can still show my softer side, but that was all me. And honestly, the past three, four years, I've been killing them. Killing them. I think. I think I had beef with Alicia Baumgartner probably about two or three years ago, and I already had started changing my image up a little bit. And then I think we was beefing. And she said something like, some. Some. You just mad cause I'm cute and you're ugly. And I was like, I'm ugly. I start, oh, I had. I said, oh, let me. Let me show y' all something. See, I don't like to get off. Y' all. Let me. If you let me stay in the ring, y' all. Y' all ain't got to be threatened. Now. I got to go kill it with the makeup, kill it with the hair, kill it with the clothes, show off the body. Now they mad. Oh, she thinks she can do everything. Yes, I'm the total package, but I didn't really care to be the total package until this moment happened. I said to me, she don't even look better than me. So what we talking about? Let's so. So let's get into it. So I start. I start putting it on, and I ain't stopped putting it on since. I'm like. Cause I really don't like to be played with like that, because I'm not no ugly girl now. I'm strong. I whoop some ass. [00:10:09] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:10:09] Speaker C: But I ain't never been ugly. And I said, you know what? Let me just go ahead and just. Let me just show them. And then I grow into. Now that I found a look that I like, that I like. Not them, but me. And I'm like, okay, this right here is my look. And I look good with this hair. That hair, that hair, these clothes. Now, now I know how to work it. But as far as me being personable, you just are who you are. Like, I'm naturally Funny. I'm a natural cool person, you know? Yeah. I can be a savage when it's. When it's time. But I think if people don't mess with me, I don't mess with them. [00:10:42] Speaker A: You know what you are? Like, hearing you say that you a real competitor. Like, not a fake. Like, you not a competitor in the ring. You a life competitor, a competitor at life. [00:10:50] Speaker C: You gotta win both. [00:10:51] Speaker A: Like, you wanna compete, nigga, bitch, I'll go get the better wig than you. Like, I'll go. [00:10:55] Speaker C: Like, now you real mad. Okay. [00:10:59] Speaker B: How do you balance being an athlete and being a girl? Because, like, that's. I would not. I struggle coming here, putting makeup on and doing my hair and stuff like that. But it's like, you active, you in a. You in a ring, you fighting, and you still cute. You still, like, you just came. We was just talking about the heels. Like, I got my shoes off right now, and you still have to show up. You got your nails done, you got your hair done. But how do you balance that as an athlete, being an athlete and being a girl? [00:11:24] Speaker C: Well, for the interviews and stuff, it's really simple to put it on. You know what I'm saying? But after I leave her, I had to go wash his makeup off, and I gotta go train. I got my training stuff in the suitcase out there, you know, so that's kind of how I balance it. Like, when it's. When it's time to put it all together, then I. Then I can do that. But I don't let it consume me. Yeah, I don't let it consume me. Because, one, I think I look better without makeup. I just wear it because it's the profession that I'm in. You know what I'm saying? You want to. I think makeup enhances certain looks or whatever, you know, but other than that, I don't really care for it that much. I just. I just do it just because I. [00:11:58] Speaker B: Seen you sparring with, like, a full beat, and I was. When I'm like, if she starts sweating, because sometimes I forget I got makeup on when it's hot, you know, you wipe your face and you forget you can mess your whole makeup. [00:12:09] Speaker C: I have done that plenty of times. But once I'm done doing what I'm doing and it's time to work out, I don't think about no makeup or no lashes or anything. I'll take the lashes off. If they start hanging down while I'm working out, I take them off. Sometimes I'll be having a makeup wipe so I can Just wipe it off. But I think what. I think what you saw was it was me showing. It's a video that I posted recently. It was me showing. This is how I come to the gym. I got my nice heels on. I got my hair done, I got my jewelry and all this stuff on, and then I transform into my workout clothes. And basically, I was saying I was showing that I. I actually hit the pads with my heels on, and I hit the pads with my heels off. And this was just like. This was just like a content day to show. Like, yeah, dummies, it's the same person. [00:12:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:12:49] Speaker C: People want to make it seem like, oh, I don't know if they'd be confused or they don't. Or they don't understand it, but it was like, the same person who walked in with the heels, with the jury with the nice clothes on. I had the same skill, is the same person that's punching the damn patch, knocking people out. So I think in boxing, it has always been a stereotype that girls who box are butch and ugly and got deep voices. And I'm like, I'm sorry, I just don't fit that category. But you have to continuously show them. Pay attention, you guys. Same person, same person, same person. [00:13:21] Speaker A: When did you get comfortable? Cause I saw you did this. I don't know if it was a documentary, but I heard you say, basically, you were teased and bullied. You had a speech impediment. When did you get comfortable? Like, this is me. This is who I am, speaking publicly. You gonna get me 100% uncut? [00:13:38] Speaker C: Honestly, I probably was, like, when I won the Olympics when I was 17, I think I went through, like, a year or two of scrutiny, you know, by people, not just because I didn't get any endorsements or sponsorships, but because of so many other things. You know, people judging my hair and judging how I look, judging how I talk, judging because. Because I just wasn't. You probably caught me in a dress twice. By the time I was 17, I was not wearing dresses and skirts and none of that stuff. I'm like, look, you're gonna see me in a shirt and some jeans. You're not gonna see me in nothing that's too revealing. And that's just how it was. I think when I think when I turned, like, 20, I just decided, like, it just came too hard to try to please everybody else to live up to their standards, to what they think is pretty. What they think is you post to wear what they think, you post to talk like and say I'm like, yo, it's stressful when you're not being yourself. And I'm like, why am I stressing myself out to not be my. Be myself? And these people don't even like you. They don't even want, like, they don't even care about your well being. [00:14:41] Speaker A: It ain't nothing you can do to make them like you. Like. [00:14:43] Speaker C: Yeah, because that's the thing that I've learned. A hater gonna be a hater no matter what. They can say, oh, she'll know how to dress. And then you go and put on some clothes and they say, oh, it's finally. It's about time she dressed. [00:14:52] Speaker B: She don't know how to wear it. [00:14:54] Speaker C: They still hating. [00:14:54] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:55] Speaker C: So a hater gonna be a hater. A person who don't like you is always going to not like you no matter what you. No matter what you do for them. So it's just like at the end of the day, you might as well make yourself happy. Because when I die, I gotta lay in the casket by myself. So I care about how my family care, how they feel about me, not. Not how strangers feel just because they're placing their insecurities on me. So I think at the age of 20, I decided, look, I'm not really gonna wear too many, too many more of these skinny heels because they hurt my feet for one. And then I gotta go work out. And I got sore. I got sore ankles and shit. And that's just not like, why. [00:15:29] Speaker A: That can cost you a fight. Low key. [00:15:31] Speaker C: Like, it definitely cost me a training session for sure. So I'm just like, why I gotta do all that? So for me, I'm just like, look, I'm gonna do what makes me comfortable. So when it's fight week, though, speaking of July 26, when it's coming up, fight week, I put it on like, I have my makeup artist, my hair. We going to everything dialed up. We gonna hit the pass. Dialed up. We gonna talk trash dialed up. I mean, last fight we. Last fight, we walked in there to the media workout. I had the wig on. I was real cute. And when it got time to work out and I changed my clothes, I said, wig's coming off. I got the fresh braids under here. What up? [00:16:05] Speaker A: You pulled it off on camera. [00:16:06] Speaker C: You ain't see it? [00:16:07] Speaker A: I didn't see that. [00:16:08] Speaker C: Oh, man, I show you. Put it right out. [00:16:12] Speaker B: I ain't doing a. [00:16:14] Speaker A: She not gonna do that. [00:16:14] Speaker B: She be high. [00:16:17] Speaker C: Just pulled it right off. And I just was letting them know, like, once Again, crazies. Same person, Same person, same person. [00:16:25] Speaker A: Do you think that this is a random question, but, like, from an athletic standpoint, do you think that other athletes look to other athletes to kind of lead the way in what you're talking about? Like. Like, from, like, somebody, another female boxer might be watching you be like, oh, I can move like that, and then be like, oh, and then start moving in the same way. Does that make sense? [00:16:45] Speaker C: Absolutely. I think that's smart. That's smart. [00:16:49] Speaker A: I mean, like, setting the trend for the rest of the pack. [00:16:51] Speaker C: Yeah. I think you need to build. Like, build a blueprint. Girls are definitely following my blueprint. 100%. Okay, bet 100%. And I've always told anybody who I was friends with, who I was cool with, build your brand that's gonna outlast your career. And I always tell all of them that. I've told all the girls I was friends with, build your brand. Start your YouTube channel. You know, build your own fan base. I've told every last one of them. [00:17:17] Speaker B: That earlier we were. You mentioned writing your own narrative, and you do have the film the Fire. The Fire. The Fire Inside with Destiny. [00:17:27] Speaker C: Yes. [00:17:28] Speaker A: That's what. [00:17:28] Speaker B: How hands on were you with that film? [00:17:31] Speaker C: I have to say, I'm not ever gonna give this justice or anything to that. I will say Ryan Destiny probably caught me three times. I never had got a chance to be on set because I'm an active fighter, but I didn't have to do anything for Ryan. Ryan Destiny had it down, packed. [00:17:49] Speaker A: She. [00:17:49] Speaker C: She studied. She's a great actress. And when I seen the Fire Inside and Ryan Destiny playing as me, I couldn't believe it. I couldn't. And. And it makes me cry. The. The entire movie. I just be crying, laughing, tears of joy. I just. I cannot believe this. A biopic at 30 years old. And then to just. I was 29 actually when it. When it came out, but just to actually see it, I was like, this is crazy. So I have such a inspiring life that they put a movie out about my life, and it came out on Christmas Day. Like, if. If I'm not a. If that's not Jesus, I don't know who is. I don't know who it is. [00:18:26] Speaker A: Facts. [00:18:27] Speaker B: How did the film come about? [00:18:29] Speaker C: I was preparing for my second Olympics. They reached out probably a few months before. Then they said, hey, we want to do a movie about your life. Because I have the documentary T. Rex. I don't know if you watched that. And that was on Netflix, where they. I got followed around for, like, literally three years of my life. And so that's just raw and uncut. [00:18:47] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:18:47] Speaker C: Like, you see how I was back then. So they said that they wanted to kind of redo that, but make it a movie and with Hollywood and stuff like that. And I remember they sent off the offer, and I sent it back and said, yeah, not enough money. I'm gonna win another Olympic gold medal. So the price. Yesterday's price is not today's price. [00:19:08] Speaker A: You told him beforehand. [00:19:10] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:19:11] Speaker B: She told him, go get cracking and come back. [00:19:12] Speaker A: Right, right. [00:19:13] Speaker C: I said, this is nice and everything, but once I win another. Another Olympic gold medal, you know, we're. [00:19:18] Speaker A: Gonna have to have another conversation. [00:19:19] Speaker C: Yeah. I say, you might as well have it now. So you might. You guys might as well double and triple the price, and then we can talk. And then I send it back to them, and then they send it back and said this. And they said a couple different things. I said, well, all right. And then we got the negotiating. Then they finally understood once I won the world championships right before the Olympics, and I was like, yeah, I just beat everybody who's the best in the world at 165. So the Olympics is three months away. So I told y' all, come with them money. [00:19:48] Speaker B: How did they get the storytelling part down? Pack. Did they have to speak to any of your family members or anything or any of your friends? [00:19:53] Speaker C: No. So, I mean, I don't know if you guys noticed, but I'm very, like, vocal, and I'm very open. So I went and talked with Barry Jenkins, who is the writer, for three to four hours. I met him actually here in LA somewhere. I don't know where we went, but when I met him, we sat down and be. I'm. I'm a listener. So I said, hey, tell me what you think my story is. And he gave me his take. And I said, almost is right. Almost. I said, but I know I'm not a sob story. Like, I don't. I don't have a sad story. Like, I have a resilience story out. Like, I have a story that is just this, the comeback kid type of story. I said, that's what I wanted be remembered as. I don't want people watching my movie and feeling sorry for me. And I told him that, and I let him know about the relationship that I had with everybody at different times. You know, my mom growing up as a. As a kid and teenager, we were not close. We didn't have a good relationship. It didn't get a good relationship till I got older, 17, 16. Childhood was terrible, you know, as far as in, like, we didn't have no food, whatever, whatever. But point blank period. Boxing saved my life, basically. Boxing gave me confidence, gave me self esteem, gave me a purpose, and. And it even made my relationship with God stronger, you know, so that's something that I always just carry, carry with me. But boxing definitely helped change my life. And I have no problem speaking about my struggles that I went through. [00:21:23] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:21:23] Speaker C: Because the success just shows you, like, you can go through all that and still turn out to have this. You don't have to have the silver spoon in order to make it. [00:21:32] Speaker B: You have a very relatable story. Even like you talking about your parents and your upbringing, that's a story. We're very similar in a lot of ways with our upbringing. And I think that people assume that the childhood trauma that you experience, they think it's not as relatable as it is. But a lot of people are dealing with the same thing that, you know, that you went through. Have you noticed that your childhood trauma has helped you as an adult? [00:21:59] Speaker C: I think my childhood trauma gave me tough skin. It gave me tough skin. I think being from Flint, Michigan, kind of like I can see the play before the play. [00:22:08] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:08] Speaker C: Like, I'm street smart and I'm book smart. Like, I think, I think my childhood kind of helped me have a good sense of discernment of people. Everywhere I go in the world, I have a sense of people where it's like, okay, yeah, yeah, she being nice and she being cool, but she's a hater. [00:22:24] Speaker A: Damn. [00:22:25] Speaker C: You know, and that's sad because I, I kind of was questioning God at first. My, why, why, why do I have to meet people who I think are great? And then you give me a sense of discernment that they're not good people. And later on I find out why he wants me to disconnect, like, right away. You don't know, but he's giving you the sign. Like, that's not something you want to go toward. But as soon as you go toward it and you keep dealing with it or dealing with the person, that's when you start experiencing the hell that you have to deal with from certain people. So now I listen to my discernment and I just run from people. [00:22:58] Speaker A: What do you mean? Like, you, like you, like you talking about, like you put distance between you and people or you mean like somebody presents themselves as a hater or fake and then you run? Are you talking about just people in general? [00:23:10] Speaker C: No, I'm Talking about. What is it? Wolves in sheep clothing. Oh, is that the line? [00:23:17] Speaker A: Yep. [00:23:17] Speaker C: They all come like they want to be friends and they. And they support you. They'll. They. They want what's best for you, but they really is around to try to take from you and the plot on you. [00:23:26] Speaker A: Touche. [00:23:27] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:23:27] Speaker C: And it's a lot of people like that. [00:23:29] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:23:29] Speaker C: And sadly, they prey on nice people like me, who are givers and nice. And, you know, I'm real laid back. I'm real, real laid back. But I don't. Like, I don't even have middleman when I do business. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, people can do direct business with me. People try to evaluate what's going on in your circle and what's in your life. They're like, oh, yeah, we can get over on her. And once I feel that, I'm like, yeah, no, actually, you can't. [00:23:56] Speaker A: I got a couple questions, because you mentioned training for the Olympics. What does that look like? Like, is that. Well, first question is, what is training for the Olympics like? And the second part of that question is, is that different from training for a normal fight? [00:24:08] Speaker C: Okay, so training for the Olympics, my experience was different. I lived at the Olympic training center for three years prior to the second Olympics. So they had. They had. I had a apartment there, but training was crazy. We trained three, three, four times a day. [00:24:26] Speaker A: Do you get to pick your coach? I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'm. I'm intrigued. I never. [00:24:30] Speaker C: They give us a list of coaches. [00:24:31] Speaker A: Okay. [00:24:32] Speaker C: And we. And you kind of go to the gym and everybody is there. The ones who you gravitate to is who you work with or, you know, but sometimes it's always somebody over everybody. So there's always a chief coach, and he kind of make the decisions of who. Who was in the corner, whatever, whatever. But training to be a. Training for the Olympics was not hard. [00:24:50] Speaker A: Training for that sound crazy, though. [00:24:52] Speaker C: No, like, it was. [00:24:53] Speaker A: Cause I know 99% of people would never be at the Olympics, though. Clarissa, you gotta, like, reason with me. [00:24:58] Speaker C: I get it. But for me, it was like, it's fighting. I like to simplify things. [00:25:03] Speaker A: Okay. I feel you. [00:25:04] Speaker C: Yeah. I don't wanna be like, oh, I gotta run. Then we gotta go do strength and conditioning, Then we gotta go punch the bag. And I just be like, it's just boxing training. I like to keep it simple so it don't really go too. Now you think about you like, this shit's insane. But no, training was simple. I think now, being a professional fighter, like, okay, I'm training for my fight. July 26th. Tickets on Ticket Master. Meet me at Little Caesars, as you should. Training for a professional fight now. I'm fighting for 10 rounds now. [00:25:30] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:25:30] Speaker C: Against girls who are humongous. I'm fighting the girls, but heavyweight. And these girls are strong. Stronger than some men that I know. It's ridiculous. I don't know where to get their strength from. And I'm serious. And so while I'm doing this training, I have a certain part of camp where it's just strength training. Nothing but strength. Like, I can bench 185. I can squat 300 pounds. Like, I'm a pretty strong. I'm pretty strong woman. And then. And then doing that, you build up the strength, and then you have to slim it down so you can keep your speed. So now you got to do, like, the four and five miles, running the jumping a rope, 20, 25 minutes, 30 minutes. Drinking a gallon of water a day. Eating healthy. Like, no fried foods for me. I'm a portion person, so I got. I have to eat 4 ounces, 5 ounces of rice, 6 ounces of meat, 6 ounces of vegetables, and then have. Drink a gallon of water a day with that. [00:26:24] Speaker A: And that's a day. [00:26:26] Speaker C: So I had about three or four of those meals a day. Nope. [00:26:28] Speaker A: Damn. [00:26:29] Speaker C: Three little meals like that, and then I drink my gallon of water a day. [00:26:32] Speaker B: What's your guilty pleasure while I'm in. [00:26:35] Speaker C: Camp or just period to eat? Oh, I love soul food. [00:26:39] Speaker A: So you do Big Mac and cheese, yams, cornbread. [00:26:42] Speaker C: I freaking love fried chicken. [00:26:45] Speaker A: Why? You look disappointed? [00:26:46] Speaker C: Cause I can't have it. [00:26:50] Speaker A: Hey, you just went somewhere else just now. [00:26:52] Speaker B: Where's your go to hot sauce? [00:26:54] Speaker C: Well, come on now. I'm a red hot girl. And Louisiana is good, but red hot. It just does it for me. [00:27:00] Speaker B: You wish you could tear some chicken. [00:27:02] Speaker C: Up right now and some turkey chops right now. Fried. Right now I'm standing from fried food. [00:27:06] Speaker A: But no fried food before. Oh, speaking of which, Floyd Mayweather said that he goes celibate before fights. Is that your. You cut fried food? You cut, like, do you. What's your thing? You. It's all fried food. Is that it? [00:27:20] Speaker C: That's all fried food. And he said celibate, so. I mean, I go without sex, too. For four to six weeks. [00:27:25] Speaker B: No masturbating either. [00:27:27] Speaker C: No. I don't do nothing. Well, that's the thing. I just don't. It's not okay for me to, like, what's that word that people use? Orgasm? Whatever. Coming. I don't do that. [00:27:36] Speaker A: Oh, they. Us. No, that's called. No, that's for us. Semen retention. Is that the one you talking about? Are we talking about three different things? [00:27:42] Speaker C: You just said celibacy. [00:27:43] Speaker A: Well, yeah, but you saying you don't. You. She was asking about masturbation and you saying you can do it, but no. You can do it but not finish, basically, is what I'm asking. [00:27:52] Speaker C: I'm not gonna do anything. [00:27:53] Speaker A: Oh, okay. Okay. Because the way you said it was like, you do it but don't finish. [00:27:56] Speaker C: Nah, I wouldn't even play. I wouldn't. [00:27:58] Speaker A: Yeah, that's why I was like, that's kind of crazy. [00:28:00] Speaker B: I don't do it in general or just while you train? [00:28:03] Speaker C: Just while I'm training. [00:28:04] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. [00:28:05] Speaker A: You said six weeks. [00:28:06] Speaker C: I'm not gonna talk about what I do outside of training. [00:28:08] Speaker A: Is that. Is that a standard? Is that a real. [00:28:10] Speaker C: Let's get to that. [00:28:11] Speaker A: What, I missed it. That's some girl shit. [00:28:14] Speaker C: Catch it. What? They like, catch. [00:28:17] Speaker B: Went over his head. [00:28:18] Speaker C: It went over his. Good. [00:28:19] Speaker A: I just wanted to know, is that a standard boxing thing? Because it seemed like I know three of the boxers that mentioned they do the same thing, so I didn't know if that was. [00:28:26] Speaker C: Listen, some fighters do. Some fighters don't. Whatever. Float they boat. But I know for me, I've been doing that since I was 17 years old. [00:28:32] Speaker B: I've heard basketball players say they do the same thing. [00:28:35] Speaker C: Yeah, it makes you be real aggressive, just being honest. It makes you be like. Like you want to hurt something and you got it. And I think it keeps you stronger, keep you focused. And I don't know. I just don't want to be inside the ring. And I got another girl trying to damn near kill me, and I'm all relaxed and stuff. It's like, no, I gotta be ready to go. [00:28:52] Speaker A: I feel you. [00:28:53] Speaker B: How do you handle that with dating? Do you have to stay total, like, completely away from the person you dating, or you have enough. [00:28:59] Speaker C: Your. [00:29:00] Speaker B: What is the word? [00:29:02] Speaker A: Restraint. [00:29:02] Speaker B: Restraint that you able to keep yourself together. [00:29:06] Speaker C: No, I still stay with my man. We still be together. Now I can say I'm a lot to deal with when I'm in camp. He might want to get away from me, you know, he might. He might want to, like, you know, go do something. Like go to the studio or something. [00:29:23] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. I'm on the call of duty. Fuck with shit. [00:29:25] Speaker B: She talking about I'm not disciplined enough. Six weeks and I gotta see the nigga. [00:29:31] Speaker C: It's not that bad, though. It's like after the first week, you be like, okay, I can do this. [00:29:35] Speaker A: Nah, nah. [00:29:36] Speaker B: I can't look at him, though. [00:29:38] Speaker C: What? [00:29:38] Speaker B: I can't look at. [00:29:39] Speaker A: She need discipline. Just a little bit more discipline. [00:29:41] Speaker B: Yeah. I went six months abstinent. That's good, but it's good. But I didn't do it just because, like, oh, it was a nigga around me, and I'm just being so strict. [00:29:53] Speaker C: No, you just wanted to, like, elevate, right? [00:29:56] Speaker B: No, I was just tired of fucking fuck boys. [00:29:59] Speaker A: That's not the same thing as being abstinent on purpose. [00:30:03] Speaker B: Well, I just feel like. Didn't know these people didn't deserve my come. [00:30:07] Speaker C: Okay. [00:30:07] Speaker B: All right. [00:30:08] Speaker A: That's a crazy statement. [00:30:12] Speaker B: So you can't see me. Cause if I get around you, I might lose it. I don't know. [00:30:16] Speaker C: Listen, I. Congratulations. [00:30:21] Speaker B: We had Essence Atkins. What was hers? [00:30:23] Speaker A: Four years. [00:30:23] Speaker B: Yeah, four years.

[00:31:05] Speaker C: I hope y' all listening. What's up? [00:31:09] Speaker B: Have you had your dream walkout performance yet? [00:31:13] Speaker C: Yes. Okay, so I'm out our minutes from everything, like. Well, no, because I have two. But up in current times, I didn't ever think that pap would ever walk me out. [00:31:24] Speaker A: Really? [00:31:26] Speaker C: Seriously. [00:31:27] Speaker A: Why? [00:31:27] Speaker C: We was in a private relationship. [00:31:29] Speaker A: I know, but. [00:31:30] Speaker C: And it was like. I didn't want it to be, like, obvious, but I'm really, like, a fan of his music. And that song 50 Human is like, my, oh, my. [00:31:38] Speaker B: You are already a fan. You've been a fan of his. [00:31:41] Speaker C: Wow. When I met him in July, and then after that, when you get no person, I. I knew he was a rapper, but it's like, if you don't hear, like, the music on the radio and stuff like that, or everybody not playing it, you don't want you listening, like, to it. So I grew up listening to, like, meek Mill and 50 Cent. Like those guys, you know? What I'm saying. Meek Mill was my favorite rapper. First it was Lil Wayne, then it was Meek Mill. So after that, them, like, my only two favorite rappers, you know. I'm saying, like, yeah, we got Tupac, we got Biggie, we got Jay Z. But I started getting familiar with. Because I support my friends. So when we were just friends, I'm okay, you got me. Let me go listen. I'm listening to this music. I'm like, what the hell? It's crazy, like, to me for his music to not be out there. Like, it. Like it should be. I think he should be, like, on one of the biggest platforms and have one of the biggest names, because he is, like, a true mc. Like, all that mumbo jumbo rap. He not into that. He really know how to rap rap. And so when I listen to his music and then I heard 50 human is one of those. It's like, you know, look it up. Okay? It's a really good song. And still the most consistent. I was born gifted come on now 12 rounds in me I can go the distance had to try to stop my shine Tell them they can't. It's crazy. They're like, no. So it just got me so geeked, and I was like, yo, when I. When I fight for the heavyweight undisputed championship, this was before we started dating. I said, I would like for you to walk me out. He was like, okay. And I was like, if. You know, if you. If you can, you know. And I just was like, it ain't gonna happen. [00:33:13] Speaker B: But y' all not dating at this point. Who's not dating at that point? [00:33:17] Speaker A: When. No, you asked him to do it. [00:33:18] Speaker B: No, you asked him. [00:33:19] Speaker C: Back then, we were just friends. I was getting used to his music and stuff like that. [00:33:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:33:22] Speaker C: But I mean, once we started dating, of course I'm like, okay, cool. But it still was a thing of we're private, and when you see us around each other, there's a lot of chemistry. So it's like, how do you hide chemistry if we're a private couple? Yeah, I feel that type of thing. So I didn't think it was gonna happen, but then it happened. And I'm like, yay. [00:33:37] Speaker B: What's your other one? You said you have two. [00:33:39] Speaker C: Beyonce. [00:33:39] Speaker B: What song? [00:33:41] Speaker C: I don't know which song. Hold on. [00:33:43] Speaker A: You gotta pick a song.

Like afro me, whatever was. That was my thing. Getting. I'm extremely tender headed. So getting my hair done is always just like it's about to be another stressful couple hours. But growing up I didn't want my hair down. But they always kind of like laugh at when they see me now because they'd be like, yo, we never thought this was supposed to be you. Like, they always seem like, bro, we thought you was gonna be gay. Bro, we thought you're gonna have your girlfriend. [00:38:30] Speaker B: They thought you was a student.

[00:38:53] Speaker C: So I just want to get this straight for all people that's listening, man, please. Oh, my God. When you sign to be a professional fighter, you have a boxing license, your hands are registered weapons. [00:39:05] Speaker A: Wow. [00:39:06] Speaker C: Now, in the amateurs, right, you still have to sign a thing so you can get a passbook and it shows that you're an amateur boxer. That don't really matter until you get to the big levels, like when you win the silver Gloves, golden gloves, start fighting outside the country now. Also, your hands are registered weapons. You can't go around just punching on people. [00:39:28] Speaker A: Facts. [00:39:28] Speaker C: So now that I'm a professional fighter, yes, my hands are illegal weapons. I can go to jail for having to kick your ass. [00:39:36] Speaker A: Wow. [00:39:36] Speaker C: Yes. But I can defend myself now. Don't get it messed up, but I just can't beat the mess out of you. My sister, my baby sister sent me a video the other day. She out there beating, beating, being a dog crap out of some girl. And I said, lord knows, Allegedly. Sure. Okay. But you know what it was like if I was to do that, I'll be in jail. [00:39:58] Speaker A: Yes. [00:39:58] Speaker C: So her, she can do that. Me, I cannot. So I like to refrain, you know? So all these girls, they be talking stuff online. I'd be letting them know, baby, please keep it online. Don't ever try me in person. I would hate to have to hurt you and your family feelings. [00:40:13] Speaker B: So you're not going on baddies. [00:40:15] Speaker C: If they would have signed on papers, I'm going to. What's the papers they would have signed? [00:40:18] Speaker A: Like a release of liability. [00:40:20] Speaker C: Yeah, I want to sign, like, where I can protect myself. Like, hey. [00:40:24] Speaker A: So how does that work? Each person, each cast member has to sign a paper or if they want me on there. So each cast member or everybody on set or just the people on the show, Like, I don't. [00:40:33] Speaker C: I'm asking the girls who are on. [00:40:34] Speaker A: A set, they have to sign a paper saying. [00:40:38] Speaker B: If anything was to happen. [00:40:40] Speaker C: But that's only to protect me. [00:40:41] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:40:42] Speaker C: And also too, they should know if we gotta sign something to that if this girl fight us, that we can't sue her and she ain't paying positive bills. That Must mean that it's gonna happen. [00:40:53] Speaker B: I would think, though, that they already signing some sort of paperwork like that just for that show. [00:40:58] Speaker C: Did you just see Summer fight against Ivory the other day? [00:41:01] Speaker B: Ivory whooped feet. Ivory whooped feet. [00:41:04] Speaker C: Listen, I like Summer. She cool. She from Detroit. When I tell you, Ivory to her, every which way but loose. [00:41:10] Speaker B: Mm. [00:41:11] Speaker C: They ain't sign no goddamn waivers. Is you for real? [00:41:13] Speaker B: Because I would think that they would have to at least sign something so that Zeus is not. [00:41:17] Speaker A: They probably release liability from Zeus. But not each other. [00:41:19] Speaker B: But not each other, Right. [00:41:20] Speaker C: Listen, all type of stuff that happened on their teeth then got knocked out. All type of stuff. They ain't sad. No goddamn waiver. They can be each other while they want to. [00:41:27] Speaker A: Has anybody said that they would sign the paper for you to come on? [00:41:30] Speaker C: No, ain't nobody said nothing. Look, And I only talked to the bosses. [00:41:33] Speaker B: I heard that. [00:41:34] Speaker C: I only talked to the boss, so I talked to Natalie, and Natalie went and talked to the owner at Zeus and she came back and said, oh, I can't do it. And I said, all right, I'm out. [00:41:42] Speaker B: Wow. [00:41:43] Speaker C: But I'll just do it just for the TV purposes, not because I want to be, like, known as a baddie. Yeah, you'd be like, I just want to do it. I think it'll be funny. Meet me. [00:41:50] Speaker A: You think it'll be funny, but you. [00:41:52] Speaker B: Are open to it. [00:41:54] Speaker C: If there was a sign and stuff, I would. I will go in there and do an appearance, cameo. Stay a week or two whenever. [00:41:59] Speaker B: You don't have to fight. [00:42:01] Speaker C: What? Yeah, you don't unless somebody try to fight you, right? [00:42:04] Speaker B: I don't think nobody would try to fight somebody. [00:42:05] Speaker A: Gonna try for time. [00:42:07] Speaker C: See, that's what you're missing. Them girls is. I don't wanna call em dumb. They is a little off up in there. So nobody will fight me one on one. [00:42:16] Speaker A: Oh, you talking about like a pack. Like you thinking, man, please. [00:42:20] Speaker C: Them girls be so intimidated. So jealous. They be like, oh, we got her and we on tv. This is our big moment. [00:42:26] Speaker A: Oh, you think it'll be like three on one, two, four. [00:42:29] Speaker B: They get beat up for the clout. [00:42:31] Speaker C: Yes. Now we have to beat up three girls at one time. [00:42:34] Speaker B: The fans were saying that they wanted to see either you or Teseki or you and Ivory. [00:42:40] Speaker C: I think Ivory is the better option. I think she a better fighter. I think she more rougher than her. [00:42:44] Speaker B: Is there a difference between boxing in the ring? Well, obviously there's a difference between street fighting and boxing in the ring. Because I've seen people who know how to fight, like, on the shows and stuff, but they get in the ring, and it's totally different. [00:42:54] Speaker C: Yeah, it's two different things. And honestly, like, I don't think it's smart for anybody to try to fight me without gloves. The gloves is there to protect you, like the padding. It's the reason that we have that in boxing. [00:43:05] Speaker B: I. [00:43:06] Speaker C: Nobody should be trying to fight me without gloves. I think that that's very dangerous. And even I see, I'm not even privy to it because I know it's bad. I know it's in. And the thing is, I'm not just throwing shots. I'm aiming them. I'm making sure that when I punch you, you landing off for nothing. You see what I'm saying? [00:43:23] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:43:24] Speaker C: Oh, so now it's. And my knuckles is sharp. [00:43:27] Speaker A: Damn. [00:43:27] Speaker C: They see these little. But. [00:43:30] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah, These. [00:43:31] Speaker C: These is. Them knuckles didn't come to play these eyeball cutters. No, but I'm saying, like, so I don't. I don't have beef with Ivory. Actually. Ivory is coming to the fight, and I got her VIP pass, and I got her. [00:43:41] Speaker B: Oh, my God, I love that. [00:43:42] Speaker C: So she's coming to the fight. Dolly is also coming to the fight. I invited Natalie. I don't know if she coming, but I don't really want to fight these girls. It's just a good conversation for whatever. [00:43:53] Speaker B: Now it's like the Hundred gorillas, and I mean, 100 men in one gorilla conversation. What is it, 100 men versus? [00:43:58] Speaker C: It's just conversation and people talking about some Clarissa chills versus 100 baddies. [00:44:09] Speaker A: That's interesting. [00:44:09] Speaker C: July 20th. Get your tickets on Ticketmaster. Meet me at Lucy's Arena. And I want to. I always keep forgetting this. I'm being walked out by the boss, Rick Ross. Oh, congratulations. [00:44:21] Speaker B: What song? You know the song yet? [00:44:23] Speaker C: Man, I don't know what I'm doing. I'm a boss. I don't know what I'm doing. Every day I'm hustling, hustling, hustling. I don't know. I don't know what song yet. [00:44:31] Speaker A: You get to pick the song, obviously. [00:44:33] Speaker C: Yeah. And sometimes I'm like. Like, I mix them up and do. [00:44:36] Speaker A: A few different melody or like. [00:44:37] Speaker C: Yeah, so. [00:44:38] Speaker B: But yeah, you gotta come out. [00:44:44] Speaker A: That's too happy. [00:44:46] Speaker C: She's gonna beat a bitch up. [00:44:47] Speaker A: Yeah, but she not happy. [00:44:48] Speaker C: Yeah, that's not it. It's supposed to be like, a song about, you know. And then he got that song. All I Do is win, win, win, no matter what. Yeah, but that's kinda. Ain't that DJ Khaled with him. [00:44:59] Speaker A: That's Khaled's song, but that'd be after. [00:45:00] Speaker B: He has a verse on it. I feel like somebody came out to that, though, before. I don't know. Some. [00:45:04] Speaker C: Some take a picture of Merry Christmas. That one right? That's the verse. [00:45:08] Speaker A: Yeah, you. You. You would probably do that after. Have him. Have him walk you out and then do that song after. [00:45:13] Speaker C: Oh, look at you putting it all together, my boy. [00:45:15] Speaker A: You see what I'm saying? [00:45:16] Speaker C: You okay. So when you see it happen, you know, you said it first. [00:45:19] Speaker A: There you go. Okay, I'm good with that. I'm good with that. [00:45:22] Speaker C: I can't pay you nothing, though, for your idea. [00:45:24] Speaker A: I mean, you could in general, in. [00:45:26] Speaker C: Theory, you want to get paid for the idea. [00:45:29] Speaker B: What was you doing with one of my favorite battle rappers, Ms. Hustle? Y' all have anything y' all working on together? [00:45:35] Speaker C: Girl, you is all in my. [00:45:37] Speaker B: I'm a nosy. But it was also on your Instagram. [00:45:40] Speaker C: So everybody know that I've been rapping for a while, and I'm rapping for like two or three years now. I feel like I'm getting better and better. I had a. I had a. A freestyle that went viral last year. It went millions and millions of views. Me and Ms. Hustle just did a picture because she is the woman of the year two times. And of course, I'm four time undisputed champion. [00:46:02] Speaker A: Greatest woman of all time. [00:46:03] Speaker C: Greatest woman of all time. So we just linked up and we got us a picture. She is a mutual friend and we really cool. And of course, I would love to do some music with her, but she's a way better rapper than me. I mean, let's be real. We talking about Ms. Hustle. Did y' all see her when she battled Hitman? [00:46:16] Speaker B: Did we? [00:46:17] Speaker A: Gina, I don't think you understand who you talking. She is. [00:46:19] Speaker C: Oh, so. So you. So you into it? [00:46:21] Speaker A: No, she watched everybody who know the man. [00:46:23] Speaker C: That's why when I saw y' all. [00:46:24] Speaker B: I'm like, well, I thought that y' all might have been working on, like, some content or something. Y' all both got y' all the belts and stuff. [00:46:30] Speaker C: So that was. That was a part of the. Of the content. Okay, that was a part of it, but it's. [00:46:34] Speaker B: It's more some music video, girl. [00:46:37] Speaker C: I can't tell you. Look, you all of my business. [00:46:39] Speaker A: You got a mixtape. [00:46:41] Speaker B: Give me some. [00:46:42] Speaker C: So I've been wanting to drop an EP for the past few months. I just, you know, I'm a perfection. I feel like it's not ready, but. But. But I got. I got hits, though. [00:46:50] Speaker A: You got hits? [00:46:51] Speaker C: I got hits. Like, I got some good music, man. I'm telling you. Like, I got some good music. I got some good music. [00:46:58] Speaker A: You got features on there other than.

[00:47:09] Speaker A: No, I was talking about what you said. Oh, with Pap. Nah. [00:47:12] Speaker B: Is he on it? [00:47:13] Speaker A: He gonna be on the records. I'm talking about. [00:47:15] Speaker B: I would be all in his notepad. [00:47:20] Speaker A: I know he got his pad. [00:47:22] Speaker C: He definitely is a perfectionist with the pen. I'm not gonna lie. I just like to do my own stuff. But definitely, I definitely, like, hey, look at this. What would you change about it? You know what I'm saying? [00:47:32] Speaker A: Because you better. That's a resource. [00:47:34] Speaker C: What? Come on, now. I show him boxing stuff, he better show me how to rap. [00:47:38] Speaker B: What the fuck have he given you? Feedback that you didn't necessarily like me. Yeah. On the music. [00:47:45] Speaker A: Or else. [00:47:45] Speaker C: Oh, well, when I rap, I'm, like, aggressive, you know, I'm rapping. He like, you gotta relax. That was the advice he gave me. I'm like, like, yo, I'm trying to get it out. He like, just relax. And I'm like, they're not doing. I feel like I'm just talking, man. It don't even sound right. He like, that one good. I'm like, no, it's not. I need to, you know, rap like, how I rap. He like, nah, man, just. Just relax. And I'm like, hold on. We have to go to one of my bars. I got. [00:48:17] Speaker A: Oh, hold on. [00:48:18] Speaker C: I don't have to freestyle because she got the moving already. Think of what. [00:48:25] Speaker A: What's some. That you was like, it is some. [00:48:27] Speaker B: And then he was like, nah. [00:48:32] Speaker C: Well, that's the thing. I'm. I'm a real good creator, and I can write, and I only rap, like, things that I feel like. I'm not like, one of those rappers that rap stuff that's not real. [00:48:40] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:48:40] Speaker C: You know, so he hasn't heard nothing. Like, he was actually shocked when I sent him some of my stuff. Like, listen to this. He was like, yo, what the heck? You really in the studio rapping? I was like, yeah, what's wrong? He was cracking up laughing. So he. He haven't said nothing that he like, oh, I didn't like this or like that. Yeah, no. [00:48:57] Speaker B: What are you listening to? On a Daily basis, girl, I'm all. [00:49:01] Speaker C: Over the place right now. I don't know. [00:49:03] Speaker B: This is what you listening to before. I was going to say a battle. [00:49:08] Speaker A: Before a battle. [00:49:10] Speaker B: I done went into straight battle rap. [00:49:15] Speaker A: Booy. [00:49:17] Speaker C: That's one. [00:49:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:49:20] Speaker B: Set it off in this mother. [00:49:22] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:49:23] Speaker B: That's the funny Go Beat a Up song. [00:49:26] Speaker C: Yeah. I listen and then I got. I mean, I listen to a lot of songs, man. I listen to R B. I'm like, I'm going through my thing. I got. I got so many songs on here. Just one of my favorites right here. [00:49:37] Speaker A: Okay, let me ask you a question. [00:49:40] Speaker B: I never heard this in my life. [00:49:41] Speaker A: Because you got. [00:49:42] Speaker B: Did you hear what it said? Yeah, they like slapping a today. [00:49:45] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:49:46] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:49:46] Speaker A: When you. When. After you win. [00:49:48] Speaker B: I would hate to be next to you in traffic, right? I'm cool listening to that. [00:49:53] Speaker A: After you win, do you. Are you listening to, like, turntable shit like you was going into it? Or you. Are you listening to calm meditation? You silence. Like, what are you. What's your thing after all? [00:50:04] Speaker C: Happy stuff. I'm listening to twerk music. I'm listening to twerk music. I'm trying to go see. [00:50:09] Speaker A: I'll be mad, bro. You not finna be mys and twerk. You know what I'm saying? That's out. [00:50:13] Speaker C: I'm definitely gonna do that. [00:50:14] Speaker A: That's crazy. [00:50:15] Speaker C: I throw. I throw a party after every one of my fights, every championship. [00:50:19] Speaker A: Do you ever invite the person that you beat up? [00:50:21] Speaker C: I invited Daniel Perkins. She ain't want to come. Yeah, I invite him. Come on out. Party with us. [00:50:27] Speaker A: And the thing is, she's crazy, bro. [00:50:29] Speaker C: No, listen, up in Flint, Danielle Perkins had fans, bro. Like, they was like, what's wrong with you? I'm telling you, listen, Danielle Parkins was. People was infatuated with her because I don't see. Maybe I'm just too obsessed with, like, blackness. But, like, she. Even though she was a really big, strong looking woman, I look at things like, bro, she had real good skin. She dressed and had her stuff together. Like, she was like a pretty stud or like a. I don't know what. But she had people that was like, kind of like, oh, yeah, after the fight, tell her I said come. I said, come see me, bro. They were just like. They were really like, fans of Danielle Perkins. And I really haven't had that happen to me in a. In a fight that's happened in Michigan. Like, it's always been like us versus them. We like. Like, we hate them. We boo them. And it was like they actually had love for Danielle. So it was. It was different. But I definitely invited her out to come. [00:51:23] Speaker A: Bro, that's. Don't invite me nowhere after you beat me up. That's crazy. [00:51:28] Speaker C: You can always not accept and not. And not go. [00:51:30] Speaker A: Yeah, but you invited me is egregious. You know what I'm saying? That's crazy. Like, don't be like, yeah, shoot her. Send her the address. Like, you gonna send me the address? Like, I'm like, that's crazy. All right. I have one more question about Flint. Oh, I saw you talk about General Motors. Once they end up leaving, like. Or not leaving once they. Everything went bad with the automotive industry. My granddad used to work for gm. He retired from General Motors. But there's this campaign that Trump is running where he gonna bring the auto industry back. And, like, people in Michigan are, like, believing him. And do you believe that we're gonna go back to what we were as an industrial. We're gonna make Michigan the hub for all automotive building and shit? Like, do you believe that type of stuff? Or it's like, you know, or it's all bullshit to you. [00:52:13] Speaker C: I'm not a politician, so I can't even speak on it. I don't know what his plans are. [00:52:16] Speaker A: No, not his plans. I'm saying. I'm just saying that he's the one that brought that back. But I'm saying now that the plants are closed and stuff like that, and people are, like, out of jobs and whatnot, there's this thing where we're gonna bring manufacturing back to America. Do you think that that's something that. Is Michigan being one of them places that it was. [00:52:35] Speaker C: Hmm. From my knowledge, when I was growing up, people were dropping out of. Out of. Out of high school to go work at General Motors because you can make so much money. You can make that much money without having a degree. So guys were in the 10th and 9th grade dropping out just to go work at General Motors. I think it was a good and a bad thing because now you're getting all this money, but people still lack money management. [00:53:00] Speaker A: They don't know how to spend, save. [00:53:01] Speaker C: It, and spend it, spend it, save it, invest in businesses. I think that now, as a. As a community in Michigan, I think a lot of my. A lot of my peers are learning how to save money, what to use money for, how to create more money. So I think it. I think it could be a plus, you know? But I also think that it. It depends, and I hope that it doesn't affect the School system like it did before. Because now once General Motors left, you got all these guys who are great with their hands and they can put together all this stuff, but now it's nothing, nothing to put together. And these guys don't even have an. Have an education. [00:53:35] Speaker A: No education. Yeah. [00:53:36] Speaker C: So now you actually create more of a population of poor people now. [00:53:39] Speaker A: So we invest in the school systems too. [00:53:41] Speaker C: Invest in the school systems, invest in the General Motors and just, I think, just invest in. I think the school system teaches stuff that we don't need. I haven't had to use A squared, B squared, or C squared in, in a while. I don't think I ever used it. But it's like I would have rather been taught about taxes. You know what I'm saying? Tell how to actually comprehend what you're reading. Literature. There's a lot of guys who don't know how to read, need to go on how to read. And I think just money management, like, how do you save? How do you even start to save? Because you, you look at how much money you spend and you say, okay, now you want to save. Like, how do you even go and save? And it's like, yeah, you have to go into your account and see what you spend money on. [00:54:24] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:54:24] Speaker C: And then we see what you spend money on. Pick and decide what you're going to sacrifice so you can save money. And I don't think that we're taught that. So even with athletes and people that make a lot of money, you make all this money because it's just coming in, coming in. And then when it. And then when it stopped, the money just go real, real fast because you just used to just spending and you're not paying no attention. So I think that should be taught in schools, but, you know, and not trigonometry. And A squared plus B squared equals C squared. [00:54:53] Speaker A: Did you have a crazy learning lesson where you spending money and like something happened and covet. Covet? [00:54:59] Speaker C: Yeah, Covet, man. What? I had 10 to 15 people staying with me at my house. [00:55:03] Speaker A: Damn. For real? [00:55:04] Speaker C: And the only thing that was working was doordash. So add it up. Oh, I spent almost 75,000, $100,000 in. In a year, six months. And me, like, I watch my account like crazy. So I'm not watching my account because I'm taking care of everybody. I'm still training. I'm trying to talk to people to give me a fight. I'm all doing all type of stuff. And then one day I go check my account. I said, who stole My money. And I go and look, it's nothing but doordash and gas cards and food. [00:55:38] Speaker A: Just. [00:55:39] Speaker C: It's not doordash is just food you ordering. And then doordash trick you because you pay for the stuff of what it costs. And they still taxing everything. And then they charge you a delivery fee. [00:55:49] Speaker A: Yeah. On top of that. [00:55:50] Speaker C: So we. And then they want to ask for a damn tip. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah, it's crazy. [00:55:54] Speaker B: They do sneak a lot of fees on. On delivery services. [00:55:58] Speaker C: But that's what I'm saying. That was my. That was my eye opener. Like, I still had a lot of money in my account, but you know how you like your money about a certain point. [00:56:08] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:56:08] Speaker C: And it was like, this is below my number right here. Now I got to go in my savings and put the money that I got my other account back in this account so I can feel comfortable looking at it. [00:56:17] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:56:18] Speaker C: And now my other account looking like trash. [00:56:20] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:56:20] Speaker C: So I'm me, I'm like always watching my money. [00:56:23] Speaker A: Do people. Do people still. Do people ask you for shit all the time. What. What's the crazy. Yeah, that's what I'm about to say. [00:56:30] Speaker C: I don't think I said on here, man. I don't think I should say it. I'm not gonna say who. [00:56:35] Speaker A: Don't say who. [00:56:36] Speaker C: I ain't gonna say who because I want no smoke. And, and I. And I. And I love them. For 180k. [00:56:42] Speaker A: Somebody asked you for 180, 000? [00:56:43] Speaker B: For what? [00:56:44] Speaker A: Damn. [00:56:45] Speaker C: See, I can't say because everybody's gonna give it up. They don't know who it is. But yes, I've been asked for 180k. [00:56:51] Speaker A: Well, okay. [00:56:52] Speaker C: To support. [00:56:53] Speaker A: I know what you said, but how did you say no? [00:56:57] Speaker C: Like, so this is the thing. I had so much money in the bank at the time, I'm like, why not? You know what I'm saying? And then I thought about it and I said ain't nobody ever even gave me 10k, 5k, 500 for me, just be going on, going around giving away 150. And the thing was it was somehow in some way shape or form, was supposed to get paid back or whatever, but it would have been years, years, years. And I just was like, I just, I. I just personally couldn't bring myself to do it. But I did come back and, and give a different number or something like that. [00:57:38] Speaker A: I remember, I feel that. But that's still. [00:57:41] Speaker C: I'm always trying to. Like when I see somebody trying to win I'm always like trying to, trying to help them if they're my friend. But some, but some ask are just outrageous. [00:57:49] Speaker A: That's a crazy ass, though. [00:57:50] Speaker C: Yeah, listen, I think, I think anything over over a thousand dollars is a big ask. I think, you know, when you go to the tens, the twenties, the fifties and all that, that's a big asking. If I, and if I was to do that for people, it's like, listen, I'm doing this out of straight love and hopefully you don't F me over. But the, the answer more likely is no. Yeah, it's no. [00:58:14] Speaker B: What are your thoughts on women who aren't naturally born as women participating in female sports? [00:58:20] Speaker C: They should go fight against each other. [00:58:23] Speaker A: That's a good fit. [00:58:24] Speaker B: That's a good. [00:58:24] Speaker C: Yeah, I am not saying that they shouldn't be able to do sports because the way, the way that I love boxing. Listen, if you, if you was a man and you and you and. And then you go over to a woman and you want to box, you should fight against another man who trans, who, who went over and he want to box. And the same thing for the women. Women, if you want to fight, if you want to turn into a man, which you don't really see that happening. [00:58:45] Speaker A: Nah. [00:58:46] Speaker C: But if a woman wants to transfer to a man, you fight against the men who was, who, who. [00:58:51] Speaker A: The same. [00:58:52] Speaker C: Yeah, same thing. Y' all go ahead and fight against each other. I don't think that they should be coming into the, to the sport where women and women fight. When men and men fight, they should build their own little thing, their own little league where they fight each other. [00:59:08] Speaker A: Did you see that? I mean, some. I mean, I did see. I forgot who it was, but I did see one athlete, Iman Khalifa. No, no, no, not Iman. There was one athlete who wanted to fight a man, but she was a naturally born woman. [00:59:22] Speaker C: I don't remember Patricia. [00:59:23] Speaker A: Oh, was that what it was? [00:59:24] Speaker C: Well, her name is Patrick now. Patrick Manuel. Yes. I can't put the amateurs with her. [00:59:28] Speaker A: Word. [00:59:29] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:59:29] Speaker A: So if. [00:59:30] Speaker C: I know back when she was Patricia. [00:59:31] Speaker A: Like, if somebody, if somebody opt in though, like say we both signed a paper, like you talking about the baddies and I'm a man and Gina wanna fight me so bad, like on record, and I. And she signed the paper, like, no matter what happened, this counts. Would that be okay? Like, not an exhibition. I guess the exhibition don't count, but like four types. [00:59:51] Speaker C: A man will never fight against me in a boxing match. [00:59:55] Speaker A: I don't think they want to, though. [00:59:56] Speaker C: Clarissa I don't think, because it's really. And I'm being honest, it's a lose, lose situation, because, one, I can really fight, and then two, a man is still a man, right? So I go out there and I. I hit a man, he gonna hit me back. It happens in sparring all the time. But sparring, I tell the guys, hey, let it rip. [01:00:14] Speaker A: You do. [01:00:14] Speaker C: It's time to get ready. I show you some film, and I'll show you after we get done. But in sparring, I'm getting ready for a world championship fight. I ain't got time to be fucking around. [01:00:22] Speaker A: So you tell the man. You tell the dude. Don't hold back. Like, just, let's go. [01:00:26] Speaker C: Hey, thank you for coming here. Respect me as a fighter. I'll respect you as a fighter. It's my job to keep my chin down, protect myself, have my defense, and be in really great shape and work. I'm a very, very smart fighter. [01:00:38] Speaker A: Oh, you a different type of. You a different type of. That's crazy. I'm telling you, you deserve everything you got. [01:00:45] Speaker B: I respect that, though. [01:00:46] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying? [01:00:46] Speaker C: But I really have to get ready, and I feel like it's just not fair for me to come in there and. And I. And I. And I record my sparring. And, you know, some of these girl. I mean, guys and girls, they post up little. Little clips, highlights, or they sparring where they getting off on somebody. So it's not even fair for me to say, hey, yeah, come here. And I don't even know how to say it. Hey, come here. Take it easy on me. I can't even say it. I can't say it. It's just not realistic. It's like, hey, thank you for coming here. I appreciate you. Thank you for helping me get ready. Because what I'm doing is very important to me. And a guy who don't want to hit me inside the ring, I'd be like, just go, Leave. I don't even know what you showed up for pissing me off. [01:01:27] Speaker A: Okay. Has a sparring partner ever hit you? And you was like, oh, that was a lot. [01:01:30] Speaker C: Like, of course. [01:01:32] Speaker A: But. [01:01:32] Speaker C: But I've also hit them, and they say, oh, why you did that? [01:01:38] Speaker A: Has that sparring partner ever told you to take it easy on them? [01:01:41] Speaker C: Nah, they ain't never said, take it easy. But they definitely done had their coaches be like, hey, man, you better keep your hands up, man. Like, she coming. He like, I am. I'm working. But listen, I definitely press the issue when Sparring. Like, if I get in there with a guy who I feel like is not gonna punch me, I go in there and just wild on them and I piss them off to make them fight back. [01:02:02] Speaker A: Last thing I want to talk about is your psychological warfare. You talk about, like, getting in your opponent's head. You do research on. That's really diabolical, though, Clarice. I just want to say that, like, Dennis Rodman used to use the same tactic in basketball. And when I saw you say that, I was like, that's very, like, almost maniacal in a way where you want to break the person down mentally before you even touch them physically. [01:02:25] Speaker C: You got some big words. But I'm listening to you, though. [01:02:27] Speaker A: Okay? [01:02:28] Speaker B: This will be my problem. Every show. He just talking. [01:02:33] Speaker A: No, maniacal. [01:02:34] Speaker C: Maniacal. [01:02:35] Speaker B: Diabolical. [01:02:36] Speaker A: How else do I say maniacal? [01:02:38] Speaker C: What do you mean? [01:02:39] Speaker A: Maniacal is like. Like. [01:02:40] Speaker C: Now you want to explain what it means? Just talk, man. We follow words. [01:02:45] Speaker B: I don't know how those get it out, nigga. [01:02:48] Speaker A: Why. [01:02:49] Speaker C: Why get into their head? [01:02:51] Speaker A: Like, is that. Have you noticed that that's a real thing that works in the ring, or is it literally just you popping your or? Both. [01:02:58] Speaker C: It's both. First of all, let's be real. You watch battle rap, right? [01:03:04] Speaker B: It's all personal. [01:03:06] Speaker C: Everybody has a game plan for somebody. They all go back home, they watch film, they study, they gonna find dirt on you so they can put in a rhymes and rap about you, right? But how do you throw that off? You gotta get there and you gotta say. You gotta say something to them. Lead up to where they quit thinking about all they rhymes and they raps and they like, they. They just want to say mean stuff to you. They don't even want to rhyme no more. They just want to talk to you. They just want to. They definitely want to fight you. When somebody is enraged and they're mad, they. They can't stick to the game plan. I don't want you to come in there with your game plan against me and then execute it. No, I want. If your game plan was to come in there and box me and try to use your skills, whatever skills you think that you got better than mine. My. My goal is to make you abandon that game plan and make you do my game plan, in which my game plan is, any of you stand right here in front of me, I' ma clock you. It's best you use your defense and, you know, move around and try to survive. But if you come and trying to go to war with me, I'M gonna take you up out of here. That's. But you have to know a fighter's game plan. So let's just rewind to when I lost in the amateurs, right? Savannah Marshall. We both turned pro. We both had 12 fights. Savannah was 12. 0. 10 knockouts. I was 12, 02 knockouts. So she's a knockout artist. She all this. She all that. And her game plan was, of course, she wouldn't knock me out, right? And I watched her fight, and I said, I don't think she thumping like that. I'm just looking at the film and stuff. I'm like, she ain't punching like that. What is it that she doing that's knocking these girls out? And I had to realize that one, these girls are soft. They ain't got no. They ain't got no chin, ain't got no skills. But I'm saying, how does she go in there and stick to that same game plan? So as I'm watching, I'm seeing that nobody is pressing her. Nobody is punching her in her stomach. Nobody's getting in her grill. And leading up to the fight, she is bullying everybody with her verbal. Yeah, she's bullying everybody. She talking to him crazy. [01:05:00] Speaker B: She. So she's already coming off intimidating just because the way she's big. [01:05:04] Speaker C: The girl likes six one or something. She huge. Savannah Marshall's huge. So in the lead up, I already didn't like her. I've been calling her out for years. She's been ducking me. But she building her career off of saying, oh, I'm the only person to be Clarissa Shields, and they're amateurs. But you. You lost the Olympics, both of them. You got an Olympic tattoo, and you're Olympic loser. Whatever. So I just don't like her. No. So in our lead up, I'm just, like, looking at all this. I said, man, I'm gonna mess with her, man. I even got talked trash to her coach. I'm make y' all be in the gym talking about what I. Talking about what I. [01:05:41] Speaker A: What I said not training. Talking about you. [01:05:42] Speaker C: Yeah, but you know what? Her coach and I. Savannah can't beat me in no fight. It's just. It just ain't. It's just not possible. She ain't beat me in amateur. She. They. They robbed me. And she know. I tell her that all the time. But in the lead up, her coach was saying, oh, we gonna knock Clarissa out. Clarissa isn't strong. And I remember hearing this, and I was like, so he think his game. So I. I pissed him off so bad that they game plan change into, we finna go out here, and we finna go to war with her. I said, lord, that girl stand in front of me, man. [01:06:10] Speaker A: Just stand in the ring and try to punch you. Punch you out. [01:06:12] Speaker C: She wanted. She. She tried to, like, fight. [01:06:15] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:06:15] Speaker C: And I was like, how you gonna fight with me? I'm. I'm faster than you. I'm quicker than you. I got better skills. I got better defense. And then when I hit her to the body post Savannah. But in a lead up, I said all type of stuff to her. I said, you let the country down two times. Oh, shit. You went to the Olympics twice and lost both times. And the first Olympics was in her home country in London in the uk. So I said all type of stuff to her. [01:06:41] Speaker A: You let your country down is crazy. [01:06:42] Speaker B: She need to walk out to meet the Grams. What's the line from that? Meet the Grams. When Kendrick was talking to Drake kids, his parents, it got real personal. [01:06:53] Speaker C: Oh, okay. [01:06:53] Speaker B: It got real personal. [01:06:54] Speaker C: That whole Kendrick and Drake beef is crazy, man. [01:06:57] Speaker B: When it's all said and done, what do you want your legacy to be? [01:07:01] Speaker C: Honestly, I just want to be remembered as being one. Let's put on the top of the front. I want to be known as being real, being my authentic self, loving who I am and where I come from, and then just being. Just being the best, you know, I want to be known for, like, not turning down no smoke, fighting the best, beating the best, and really being a trailblazer. Help take women's boxing to the next level. You know, I was the first woman to make a million. Now it's a few other girls who make a million dollars, you know, a million or more. Now it's like, I want to keep building that, and I want it to be easier for the girls coming up behind me where they don't have to work as hard as that. I've had to work to get to where I am. Like, it's been a lot of hard work. People be like, oh, it's just fighting. It's like, nah. Is way more ins. [01:07:45] Speaker A: You can't eat fried chicken. [01:07:47] Speaker C: Fighting, dying, sacrifice, you know? And I think something that gets overlooked is because. So I. So. So I don't have no kids yet, right? But it's like my sisters and my brothers and all them have kids, and my mom, my dad is still alive, so I don't get to spend a whole bunch of time with them because I'm so locked in on training, you know? So that's another Another sacrifice that I had to get used to. But it's not. It's not easy getting. Getting used to it. So I just want to be remembered as. Listen, I got dealt the hand of cars that wasn't so good, but I turned them all into. To aces. [01:08:22] Speaker B: To a nice little spread rose that grew from concrete. [01:08:24] Speaker C: Yes, they are. [01:08:26] Speaker A: Man. Listen, I'm looking forward to. This was Saturday, July 26th. [01:08:30] Speaker C: Yeah. Make sure y' all come to Detroit. [01:08:32] Speaker B: We don't got that much. We don't got that type of money. [01:08:34] Speaker A: At little Season girl. Stop at Little Caesar's arena in Detroit, huh? [01:08:39] Speaker C: Fly spirit. [01:08:42] Speaker B: I'd rather eat a Popeyes biscuit with. [01:08:44] Speaker A: Cottonmouth Little Teasers arena in Detroit, Michigan. [01:08:47] Speaker C: Clarissa Shields tickets on Ticketmaster. Get it with me. [01:08:51] Speaker A: Go get them tickets right now for the undisputed heavyweight world championship. Defending. Defending champion. [01:08:58] Speaker C: Defending. Yeah. [01:08:59] Speaker B: And I'm telling you, congratulations. Early. Congratulations. [01:09:03] Speaker C: Smart.

I don't know if that's legal or not. [01:09:17] Speaker B: No, don't do that. [01:09:18] Speaker C: Yeah. I don't know. [01:09:19] Speaker B: I can holla at one of them, though, right? [01:09:20] Speaker C: Listen, I mean, even they. Even they probably don't know, but if you watch the film, you'd be like, you probably go around. [01:09:26] Speaker A: I need to pay attention. [01:09:28] Speaker B: How much of your recent social media back and forth is going to be included in your mixtape? [01:09:35] Speaker C: None of it. [01:09:36] Speaker B: No personal life on there? [01:09:38] Speaker C: No. Because for what? That. That. That really holds no weight in my life. For real. Like, I'm just with a man. That's it. That's it. I don't know where all the static and all the stuff came for me at, but I'm just with a man who I love. That's it. With a man who love me, too. Like, that's it. I don't know where everything else is coming from, but, you know, where there's. Where there's smoke, there's fire. And at the end of the day, everything that goes on up on social media will not make it to the history books. [01:10:06] Speaker A: Right. [01:10:07] Speaker C: Nothing will. I'm gonna be in the history books. [01:10:10] Speaker B: Yeah. They're not a part of your story? [01:10:12] Speaker C: No, it's not even a part of my story. It's something that, you know, people are looking at it like, oh, this is happening. That's happened. They're making these fake narratives all this bull crap. After I leave here, I'm going to the gym. [01:10:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:10:22] Speaker C: And when I go and make my music, I'm thinking about how I can make something that's gonna give me, like, a Grammy or something. Because I already got an espy. [01:10:29] Speaker A: Okay. [01:10:30] Speaker C: I already got. And I already got a biopic about my life. Now it's like, what else can you do? [01:10:35] Speaker A: See what I'm saying? You competitive in life. You're like, what else can I count? [01:10:38] Speaker C: I'm just trying to win. [01:10:40] Speaker A: I want to take over this, too. [01:10:42] Speaker C: It's the egot. It's the sb, The Grammy, the Oscar. [01:10:45] Speaker A: The Oscar and the Tony. [01:10:48] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:10:48] Speaker B: I want all of them Emmys. [01:10:50] Speaker C: Egot, Emmys. Yes, sir. What is it? Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Oscar, Tony, Tony. I need. I need all of them. [01:10:58] Speaker B: I With that. [01:10:59] Speaker C: And I think that I have a life that can. That can get that, you know, you never know. The fire inside might. Might be my Oscar, man. [01:11:06] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:11:07] Speaker C: You know, I'm.

Like, if you want, I sit there and eat and talk for hours on my YouTube channel. Subscribe Clarissa Shields. But other than that, like, you. You just kind of get what you. What you see. Like, all the stuff people like. Oh, I mean, I'm arrogant. I'm not humble. That's just all. Like, they just put out their ass. And by, oh, this is what we found. I don't know. But they don't know me. [01:11:51] Speaker B: They just put on black women. [01:11:52] Speaker C: Huh? [01:11:53] Speaker B: That's a narrative that they put on black women. [01:11:55] Speaker C: And it's. You know what? And it's a thing that, to me, other black women ride along with it. It's like, I thought you were supposed to be sticking together. What happened to that? Now it's like, I don't know. Drama is what people like. But I've learned something in the last month. Some of these folks only own. They about to be mad. I don't care. They only own a social media account, and if they had to pay for comments, they wouldn't be able to afford it. [01:12:21] Speaker A: Damn. All right. Thank you for coming. Yeah.
