Jamie Moore is adamant that Jack Catterall will be victorious over Regis Prograis in August and get the World Title shot he was denied when he fought Josh Taylor. Its jacks time and a home crowd will roar him on at the new CO-OP Live arena in Manchester.
[Music] okay this is ringwalk media and association with well therapy still hard management of barley Carter racing Mr Jamie Moore here we are in the coop live and Jack catell has got another big fight yeah thank God he’s nice and active and uh that’s what all we’ve ever wanted for him um you know it’s been difficult for the over the last sort of three or four years to keep momentum but he’s finally got it and uh he’s bringing out the best in him well I was about to say that was my first question it’s so nice now to see him with a smile on his face and he’s got the bit between his teeth cuz he is fighting yeah exactly you know he’s he’s he’s always been in the gym he’s always wanted to be active he’s just not for anybody’s fault or reason he’s just circumstances have just arose and and it’s just been not possible for him to be active and now he’s active and I feel like you’re just going to he’s just going to keep improving and getting better and better because you know you can’t possibly improve without Act and he’s been in the gym and the only reason he’s been out to perform to the to the level he has done even when he’s not been active is because of his commitment to the sport and and it’s lucky he has been because he probably would even be fighting now if he if he wasn’t so dedicated and committed but um but I really feel like you’re going to see the best of him now was up in the press conference that we just had you mentioned there were two or three options who were the other options or can you not say well no B OA was was obviously one of them which was which was public knowledge and there was a few of names knocking about which no one was would really be interested in that’s why ja wasn’t interested and um and B B would have made sense because it would have been an Eliminator um but this is is as good as an eliminated what you’re ever going to get even if it’s an unofficial one because the winner surely gets a world out shot so um so it made sense and you know it wasn’t even a money thing you know he’s probably getting paid less of this than he would have been for baros or anybody else but he wanted The Prestige of it he wanted the name because he knows and respects reg’s prog he knows how good he is and he knows that he’ll only perform to the best of his ability against people like him what did you say when you first heard the name r Regis progo what was your instant reaction brilliant I mean I mean three three four years ago we’ve been talking about this fight and we were saying I hope he gets that fight and not because I don’t know that Regis is a phenomenal fighter it’s because my my belief is in Jack catell and obviously everybody understands that different styles suited to different Fighters and I’ve always believed that Regis has got a style which would be good for Jack cell so so as soon as the name come up I was like you know we’ve always we’ve always respected him but we’ve always known that it’s a a fight that Jack would love and and could win and and as soon as it got mentioned we snapped say it and obviously you know it’s going to be a very very good fight a great occasion here at the uh the co-op live um have you been to the arena since before it’s over you not been to see a concert or anything first time I’ve been in today and uh it’s it’s a it’s a really really nice venue he smells new and um and and it’s privileged really you know when you think about the amount of big fights what are going to take place here over the next however long you know 20 30 40 50 years or whatever to to say that he was part of the first boxing event is it’s prestigious I we’ve been in we were watching Liam Gallagher last week and uh it was absolutely banging mate the atmosphere is fantastic when you go in there it’s like a an extension of the AO Arena it just goes longer and further back is a great place yeah I just I walked in I just actually walked in for for two or three minutes and uh you can sense that on Fight Night the atmosphere is going to be unbelievable so I can’t wait we can’t wait either and I think it’s a fantastic like you say a matchup where the two Styles will make a good fight um and the winner has to go along and and get a world title shot surely no fingers crossed that’s that that can happen he looks like it will you know the guys who were the champions have only just fought the themselves so Jack straight back in there he can bot and then hopefully I mean before the end of the year ideally by December time I’m I’m imagining the Champions are going to want to be fighting again and um and Jack jackob there waiting how’s how’s the gym in in in short you know you’ve got a few few things going on obviously Cameron how is he yeah he’s good he’s just turned up I’ve just seen him turned up here actually so he’s back in the gym straight away and um he’s jumping out the bit waiting for the next one I think they’re talking about him maybe boxing again in September so uh you know he’s done he’s done a 10 round uh in his fifth fight great experience against Jeff aor did well didn’t he really well yeah exactly you know considering I think a lot of people thought that by the time he got to round five and six a for he’d be right in the fight and and drag him hard down the stretch and he had a couple of rough rounds round seven round eight but came through it and and finished strong and and the experience what he gain from that fight is invaluable when when you put him in with Jeff I mean that’s a brave move for a young fighter well yeah but similar to the reasons why in in in in a situation where people might say you’re taking a risk with Jack even though I understand it’s a risk but it’s a calculated risk because I know how good Jack is for the same reason I knew Jeffery was a bit of a risk but it was a calculated RIS because I know how good Cameron is and and I knew he would drop some rounds which is good because a kid who’s in his fifth fight who’s a young you knows got the potential to go a long way needs lessons on board to make to progress and make him better and if they don’t get him early on they find themselves getting him later on against better Fighters where potentially the endings much more severe and worse so I’d rather him get him now because by the time he steps up in to a higher level he’d be better equipped to deal with it and he’ll respond better you know they’re doing very very well and it’s nice to see Cameron maturing in the right speed obviously akib he was due to fight we’re not going to go into any of the Cobblers that has gone on all I’m going to ask you is you know what actually happened process-wise on that night well it was brought to my attention that something had happened which is which is is obviously um against the the rules in in terms of betting and stuff like that I found out about it I brought it to the the guys’ attentions you know match room and the people who arranged in the event and we decided we’ve got to pull this fight we can’t go ahead so with there’s in quiety going on and you know moving forward will have to make some decision know depending on the results of the Inquirer we have to make some decisions but it was um it was a scenario which certainly I’m not um in favor of or would be any part of so that’s why we have to make sure that the fight didn’t take place well we wish both box as well because it’s a tough time regardless of the situation um and we hope akb’s okay mate you mate now listen where’s where is he because M trousers are still on and and Nat n Nigel where is he is he about he was stood at the B before but uh he’s been here all day doing interviews and you know signing autographs and um talking about 3 day dualo and all that you know the Coronation Street stuff but uh he’s doing all right he can’t wait to get in this Arena can he honestly I’ve never seen anyone’s excited in my life he’s like’s he’s like a kid at Christmas well listen very just lastly how’s your arment gym going because you opened that gym up a little while ago now in your hometown how’s it going the best thing of ever done in boxing I promise you like seeing I I I go in there as much as I can and they my kids you know every session at the end of the session they always come over and they always like say thank you and stuff like that and uh I promise you like the impact those type of places not just talking mine but all of them and to be honest with you the reason why I don’t I open my j or part of the reason why I did was because of the impact what Nigel’s had with M side um you know which is such a important gym in that area and the same impact has happened in my area and I swear to God it’s the by far the best thinging of ever done in boxing it’s unbelievable thank you for asking no M well we went down we were very lucky to be a guest of you down there a few months ago and it was buzzing mate it was great place to be I swear we have about between 80 and 90 kids off the street every time it’s open split over three classes and um and what would they be doing otherwise if that place wen’t open listen well done with that well done with getting Jack into PR gr it’s goingon to be a great stylistic fight and uh can’t wait for the uh the the O2 o O2 the co-op live to be rocking absolutely can’t wait for it it’s going to be a really good fight and um Next Step before the world title nice one mate thank you cheers
