Late night training means we're super buddies. That's the new thing. I just made it up and it's gonna stick. You gotta push it until it does stick. Yeah, give me a thumbs up, super buddy. Yeah, a super buddy thumbs up. It's for super buddies. So you get a super buddy thumbs up. Absolutely. Super buddy thumbs up. Wow. Fight camp has officially begun because we're here at fucking 12 o'clock at night. Training fight time. Gym's empty. Just us. Feels like we're going to war now. Feels real bro. Feels proper.
I like it. No fucking dickheads about, no cameras, no retards, just stuff. Yeah, last three weeks in the time zone. Terrible war at night. First day of it, so I feel a bit tired actually, which shows how important it is to do this. You know, get in there and smash some pads. I love it in here, laying in night. My super buddy's doing super good. Super buddy, super good. Bosnian time, brother.
*laughter*
8 hours for only 10 seconds rest. I'm gonna comply. Converting now, we've got the 10 ounces, so this is what they're actually fighting. So, the power that Andrew's been throwing in 18 ounce gloves. Imagine getting hit by one of these little things. It's gonna be different bro, gonna be just gonna touch your mind.
Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!
.
There he is, that's better. Not about power, that's sharp, sharp, sharp. There you go. Beautiful, beautiful.
- My inside's on my back. Seriously, bro. It's insane.
He's not, he can't, one, just one. One of those straight, boom! Listen bro, he's gone. I'm telling him he's gone. Body hook, left hook, the body, gone. Any one of those. All it will take is one. And it ain't about, bro, as we know, it ain't about how you feel. You did the work. It ain't about how you feel. You did 15 fucking hard rounds, you did it. What about how you feel about it, what happened, fuck all that shit, you did it. Tick, tick, tick, done.
16 rounds because he fixed the time. Your photographer is there. Bailey aka Bolton the bolt.
He fucked up the time, he did 16 rounds. Yeah, he does that anyway to be honest. I know, I know, I know. So essentially you got the... but I know that's what we're doing. Yeah, yeah. But I want to see the difference. And I want Bailey to record a full round and see the punch count.
So you can know in your mind like that, 15 rounds or 400 punches a round, you just threw fucking... I can't do math. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fucking 8000 punches. You're gonna literally fucking... one round of punches.
But Bosnian time, Bosnian Park work. - He's training a different name there. But it was good to do, I think we're keeping the salad. - Bailey, I really don't know what everyone's problem is. I mean, look at me. I just had a two kilo Bosnian style barbecue, which I ate. I had a coffee, I came here. All the food mixed up. Now I've gotta go home, eat another half a kilo barbecue. And I don't know why they all so knock it. I mean, what do you mean? I mean, I take it as a compliment that they can't last with me,
- The last in the ring, number one.
- I've been focused every single day in training. I've been taking this extremely seriously. It's all I've dedicated my life to for the last four months. I have had nothing else going on, nothing else to do. As I walk to the ring, I'll be ready to fight. I will 100% be ready to fight. I know I'll be ready to fight. I've visualized it. I know how this ends. I've seen it all.
There's many different versions of the universe and it's already pre-played out. It's already pre-laid. I believe that the result of the fight is set in stone. And it's just a matter of me going through the motions and making the rest of the world understand.
I'm the heavyweight champion. I do what I want. You do what I say. If I say jump, you get in the ring. If I say dance, you dance. Just like December 20th, when I'm packing you in, I'm gonna ask you in the middle of the round, "What color is your Bugatti?" and you're gonna look me in my eyes and you're gonna say red.
Like what's coming out of your fucking nose. This new generation of people don't understand the line, and there are lines. I've never disrespected his team. I've never disrespected his coach. I've never made fun of his children, if he even has any. I don't wish him harm. I genuinely believe that this should be a sport between gentlemen. I believe we should get in there and do our best. I've had an eclectic life, and I'll tell you something. Karma is real. If you go through life operating from the wrong frame, you end up paying the price. I think he will regret saying that. Well, I know he'll regret it. I'll make him regret it.
and me. This is about me. The whole show's about me. The media's about me. The press is about me. Everyone came here to watch me. He's nothing to do with us. This is about me, me training, me getting in there, and me winning. So it could have been Chase. It could have been anyone else. It doesn't matter. I predict that I'm going to win, and I'm not going to overanalyze how that's going to happen. I'm going to be a professional. I'm going to take the opportunities that are given to me, and I'm going to wait for a mistake to be made, and I'm going to capitalize on it. I'm going to win the fight.
I am the definition of the young man that this man inspires, but it's one of those cases where it's like a full circle moment where the young generation that he inspired has to come back and unfortunately he's going to have to answer for every bit of inspiration that he instills upon me. I promise you, don't think you're going to get in there and just knock me out easily like I'm a fucking idiot. Like I'm going to go in there and I've made some mistake and I've just signed a contract and I've taken this seriously. I'm not a fucking idiot, Chase. You understand me?

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.
Yeah.
Happy birthday to Andrew!
Happy birthday to you!
Woo!
Happy birthday. Thanks. What are we doing for your birthday? Training. Chris, why didn't you sing happy birthday? To your own brother.
Chris, how dare you? I've sung happy birthday two more times than you have. That could be true. Loud. You didn't even give him a thumbs up.
39 minute round for Andrew's birthday. So as you know, Andrew is 39 years old today. So instead of doing normal pad work where you do 3 minute intervals, 1 minute break,
Andrew's gonna do a solid.
39 minute round.
On the pads. So, if you think it looks easy, you've never boxed before.
And we're all gonna stand around talking shit the whole time. Only the Midnight Superbunny's. The Midnight Superbunny's, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're here to, uh, curse in here. Don't worry, Andrew. If we give it the thumbs up power. We can fall for another rainbow. No, no, no. It's good. It's like a good run. How can you get tired when the Midnight Superbunny's are giving you thumbs up? It's impossible. It's impossible. Look, I'm even gonna do it. Exactly.
It's impossible to get tired now. We need to keep up shit-took with three. I mean, that's more of a challenge than in pads. Yeah, we're the ones working hard here. We're the ones doing the work of the program. I think I should give everyone a low kick that's working hard. 33 minutes left. You got to joke it. How are you? 32 minutes 41 seconds. One round.
It's been two rounds.
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday dear Andrew, happy birthday to you. Yeah, boy!
Nice, Luke. He looks so angry. He looks so angry.
He looks like you want to chill with it. Last minute.
This is the, maybe you work with your tires. This is the end. You're leading a choice and I might change the goal. Skyyamers. Come on Drew, let's go. 30 seconds. Go, let's go. 35 seconds. Put me down and say I'm going to go.
25 seconds.
20 seconds.
15 seconds. Four, four, four. Good, good, good. Hut, hut. Six, nine. 10 seconds. Hut, hut.
Five seconds. Hut, hut, hut. Hut, hut.
Let's go.
It might be old, but it's gold.
Andrew, at the age of 39 you officially broke a record of 21 minutes and 18 seconds. And if you remember Paul Douglas did 26 seconds and you wanted to kill him. But 39 minutes at the age of 39. Happy birthday, brother. Love you, love you. God bless you.
I need to work on my jumping left hook though. I need to work on the jumping. It look good, you know. It look really good. I like what I see on the thing. I learn from the best. It look really good. I come to you. It's a real good thing. You know, your son goes to the Andrew song.
He's the only choice to win. That's big. That's big.

so I'm very, very thankful. Fighters fight. My whole life I fought different styles. I fought MMA, I fought Thai boxing, kickboxing. There's slight differences. K1. You take the rules, you take the money on the day, back in my fight career. And I've always been a puncher, so I'm very much looking forward to it. In fact, I've actually enjoyed this boxing camp a lot more than a kickboxing camp. I haven't hurt my knees or my ankles or that kind of thing, so I'm excited for it. The camp's been fantastic. The camp went so much better than I could have imagined. If I could have seen the camp in advance before I did it, I would have been so pleasantly surprised. So what's that about?
I can't fight for you. Three days, me and you. We're all weight. We're all weight. We're all weight. We're all weight. We're all weight. What's weight you want? You want front, southpaw, backwards? What do you want? You tell me what you want. You're the top G, right? It doesn't make a difference to me. You're the top G, right? You're the top G. You get to call the shots in this promotion. The weight, the rehydration clause. All that stuff, right? You get to walk second. You get to fight for a heavyweight title at cruiserweight. All that stuff, right? How would you like me to box? How would you like me to box? Show me what you're going to hit me with. I'm really
- I'm just interested. - There's no reason he's gonna get beat up. - You with the glasses.
You and Benny are the reason this man's gonna get beat up. I heard him. I thought he was gonna hit pass. That's a weak ass smile. I can't wait. You know what that smile is? Beer. Beer. Look at that sweat. Beer. I thought he was gonna show us how to fuck. These are doing shit. Hey, this is Orthodoxy too. Switch me up, Andrew.
He's a 16 -ounce, this one. He's a 16 -ounce.
He said he was going to show us how to box it, he showed no way shit. He's all bad.
Boxster! Backsavers, mate, not once did he hit the middle of the pads. Yeah, not once did he hit the middle of the pads.
It's 2:24 in the morning. So this is the big one. So Andrew's gonna come out and he's gonna murder all of us. But we're gonna do our best to put it on him. So it should be good. I'm ready. I'm in the best shape of my life right now. In a while.
Yes, nice. Nice. Nice. Good.
I have to sit back. Now, hold on, sit back. Quick. Yes, same shot, same shot. Nice, hands up, hands up.
Press, baby. Token. Thank you, guys. Thank you.
- Wait, are you gonna angle? - Yeah.
And then pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, and he goes. One more ball out the way. I was saying, I smashed him up.
Every round. Six rounds of the pure pain with my hands touching him. And he couldn't handle it. That's what I was saying. Or he's sharp as fuck and we just got batted for six rounds. I think we got dropped three or four times each round between us. We had to keep switching on him. And I had body armor on. So I was cheating. But yeah, he's ready.
Amir has been my coach the entire way through my fight career. He's been such a massive part of my life. I wouldn't be the man I am today without him. And we love each other very much and we trust each other completely. And I'm glad he got to come with me on this journey. I would have never done it without him. Amir was as integral to this as I am. So as soon as I said I was going to do it, he dropped everything, dropped his entire life and dedicated himself to the task as did I. I wouldn't say it made me feel like my old self because I've always been a warrior.
and I've always been fighting something. I didn't have to do this. I have enough other things going on, but it reminded me that without struggle, without pain, without constant effort, without these things, life is pretty empty. And my only fear now is what's going to fill the gap after I knock this guy out. I'm not sure, but this had to be done. You have to pay the price for things in
or it's the permanent dull ache of what if, what could have been, what could I have achieved if only I was a little bit braver or a little bit more tenacious. And I would rather go through the pain of a fight camp and the risk of a fight than live the rest of my human years with a dull ache of what could I have been, what could I have done. I can't operate from that frame.
The reason why my words were so well respected is because I very much understand the world, and you can only understand the world by understanding yourself. And I understand myself because I know my limits, and I know my limits because I have tested them. I have, as a goldfish, smacked my head against a fishbowl so many times. That I have learned, through sacrifice, through suffering, through pain, exactly what I am and am not capable of.
ever taking risk, wondering what I could have been if only I tried a little bit harder. Luke's been extremely important. He's been a fresh voice for me during a fight camp. It's the first time I've ever done a fight camp with Luke, but we fought nearly two decades ago or 15 years ago, whatever, and he's a brother now. He's one of my best friends. It's amazing how fighting can do that between men. So I'm very glad that Luke was here. I'm glad he took the time. He's been extremely
emotional perspective, but also just simply getting the training done and looking at things from a fresh perspective and the fact he's so tall. So I'm really, really glad I got to go through this experience with Luke. This is something Luke and I will talk about for the rest of our lives. I believe in work and I trained as hard as I could train. So I enter with a pure heart. I believe in work. It doesn't matter if it's about making money. It doesn't matter if it's preparing for a fight. If you believe in the work you are doing and you focus on the work you're doing day at a time, the result comes.
So I believe in the work, I've done the work, I trust my coach, I trust myself, and now it's just time for me to perform. That comes in 48 hours from now, and I am sure the world will be set on fire by my flawless performance. I'm going to take this guy's fucking head off, I promise.
