Matt lenham boxing social in association with Forge Irish Stout Empire fights and freebets.com we’re here jimy Moore jimie know you got a bit of a bad back but apart from that how things big press conference today yeah mate you know what it’s uh yeah all good I’m just looking
Forward to see how it plays out today I stayed at home and watched it um on YouTube yesterday so I didn’t go down to UPS to to Scotland so um yeah it’d be interesting what did you make it yesterday um I sort of it went sort of
Kind of how I expected in the face off a little bit of a push and a pull as some people like to say um but what did you make of the press conference it felt like a proper old school Grudge Match where I know people were saying a few
People said online oh I’m sick of this you know P fake P there’s nothing fake about this no there’s not there’s not nothing fake about it and I think Eddie Eddie at the nail on the head when he said that you know it is he does have
That feel of like a real old school Grudge Match um sort of Ben new bank type feel to it and that’s what really got me into boxing to be honest so uh so yeah it it’s it’s genuine the uh they do have a a dislike for each other it’s you
Know it’s at the highest level and um and it’s great to be a part of it to be honest you know like it’s exciting the these type of fights obviously um the fighters especially you know it’s it’s tough to not get emotionally involved and invested um so my job is to sort of
Keep keep a lid on everything and keep it sort of business as usual and uh but but it’s but yeah it’s exciting I’m looking forward to it hard not to get emotionally involved because you were here for the first time around you went through the whole rig moral of after
That feeling that he went through you went through that you shared as a team and how difficult it was but how pleased are you that you’ve got that chance now to sort of write that wrong that’s in your eyes and their eyes I’m just glad for Jack that you know I said this
Earlier on like if you if if you look at it from a a purely from a career point of view You Know Jack always wanted to be fighting at you know Top Class World level he had that opportunity he was waiting three years for for the chance
Um and then what happened happened two years ago but but he’s he sort of he’s had those fights in between he’s he’s got the chance now you know he’s signed with Edie they’ve kept him active which was always an issue for him him being active is going to you know be able to
Make perform better and then so so take away the fact that it’s Josh Taylor in the history he’s just fighting at a high level again and he’s what his career deserves and his talent deserves so bringing him back into the picture then and and and it’s a fight what everyone’s
Been talking about for two years they’re the type of fights you want to be involved in so I’m just glad for Jack that his talent and his career it hasn’t you know bypassed him and gone because that some point I was thinking is it ever going to happen for him but I’m
Just glad it’s happened now for him yeah and we obviously know the the needle we know the Rivalry there um how much is this obviously your job as well to make sure that sort of emotions taken out of it cuz we know when you say out in a
Boxing Journey everyone says I want to be world world champion so to have the shot Undisputed it’s almost like a pipe dream even for the most talented of Fighters it’s always about timing so how much is it about maybe keeping a lid on the emotions and keeping this all about
Business like treat him as another fighter as this rather than thinking you store this you that so that he performs to his best want want one of the main parts of my job will be to to make sure that emotions are controlled um he fights with his his head and not his
Heart and um and and from a tactical point of view you know we we’ve got I keep seeing all these rumors about you know Taylor’s finished um he’s injured you know he’s just lost to T Fimo Lopez you know in in a in a competitive fight you know
He wasn’t close but it was a competitive fight he did well and so for for for somebody to say he’s finished is for me is insane and and you know by not by any stretch of imagination can we do a training camp hoping or assuming that we
Have to look at the Josh Taylor who fought reg’s prre in in in the world series of boxing tournament [ __ ] just bailed right over that barri then that was brilliant to see and um you know just just to we we have to sit down and expect the absolute very best Josh
Taylor and it could be a fight like this one brings out of him because you know if he ain’t going to get up and perform for a fight of this magnitude with this type of emotion involved then then when is it so so we’ve got to PR prepare for
The very best of him there was often comments from Josh about um s of made in the press conference about the the reason that maybe you didn’t get a nod is because you were negative and things like that of on your bike but it’s them that have requested a bigger ring this
Time around you surprised at that um a little um I mean Sam said Rings a ring and all that but yeah it is and whether it was tactical or whether it was just to make a point that they they’re sort of making the decisions I really don’t
Know but um I just didn’t see the point of thought 22 foot ring is insane I mean I can’t remember anyone requesting a 22 foot ring I think the last time I see him it was LX Lewis when he fought vit Klitschko so um so yeah it’s a 20 foot
Ring same as last time and um and yeah it’s a fight at the end of the day and he going such a good fight though is it a buildup Clash of Styles um you know characters temperament wise you know joshh is he’s a bit feisty and Jack’s
More laidback and but but they seems to bring the best out of each other and the best types the best parts of their personality or worst if if you if you like and um like I say like timing is everything in boxing not just about winning world tis and stuff
Like that but you have to be around at a certain time with a dance partner so to speak um and and like Sam Jones said yesterday everyone loves a good UK sort of Grudge Match and um you know everyone fell in love with the FR Groves sort of
Narrative and and and this has been created really not by The Lads been created by controversa in the decision last time and then I think the time in between has made it better I was going to say you were involving your fair share of dust ups and ones that we look
Back on and they still come up on Sky Sports in the classics and so and when you look back how good is it now especially in the UK when we’re always talking about oh who’s going to Saudi we know we’re getting the big fights and that’s great because ultimately that’s
What want at the top end best fighting the best but when we look at the UK scene it’s like right well what’s going to be left if we’re all going over over there to see this get made how much of a buzz is it for you obviously as a as a
Trainer but to be a part of SM which is it’s not um manufactured it’s not made up this has got a real narrative listen I think these these positives and negatives to everything including the stuff you know saud’s great for the for the fans but you know every sorry for
The boxers but the fans having a travel he’s not so there’s positives and negatives but and and there was talk about this fight initially maybe going over there and then it started it came to nothing and I was so glad it ended up
In the UK and and and to be what Sam M was saying me today I know he’s worked so hard over the last three months I mean this fight has nearly been made for a few quite a few times over the last few months and then it looks like it
Wasn’t going to then it has then it hasn’t so so he has put a lot of hard work in and um you know I set me out to him he’s a grafter I’m just and like I say I’m glad you know Josh Taylor gets the chance to prove everyone wrong you
Know like he said yesterday he’s been getting a lot of harassment on social media so he’s got that opportunity and Jack gets the chance to to um to write the wrongs what he felt what happened in the first fight so it’s just got a great story to it absolutely and obviously you
Guys have aspirations of winning world titles with Jack and this is obviously giv him that perfect platform to do it um look just quickly coming on to a different topic I’ll talk I’ll address this with you if you want to go into it or not I’d seen a r well don’t know if
It was rumor but something on social media regarding Chantel Cameron potentially leaving yourself obviously you spent a lot of time with her lot of hard work World titles good memories um this is absolutely Jack Cel there but I’ve got to ask from the horses mouth right than reading the rumor yeah no
Listen I don’t want to talk about it today you know it came out before in an interview but this is about Jack today and and I wanted to sort of focus on that so I’d rather not to speak about it today 100% well look Jamie um it’s always a pleasure catching up look
Forward to this press conference um it’s out like yesterday it’s going to be it’s going to be great um I’ll get down the gym soon we’ll get the rest of you boys and then yeah beig go catching up which is my national we need to think of a new advert for free bets.com

some rigorous journalism there on the Cameron split rumour.
Love it when people say they didn’t go DOWN to Scotland 😂
Jamie is such a top bloke, doesn’t fire any shots at other boxers, just has complete respect.
