Matt Lam for boxing social and association with Forge Irish Stout Empire fight store freebets.com we’re here Belfast um holster Hall this Saturday Jamie um a cracking card put together off the back of obviously a co-promotional show with match room for Lewis Crocker and Kurt Walker Challengers Jims

The a title on the line um just talk to me about this fight it’s a good show it’s it’s a progressive show it’s for uh forer arish boxing Belfast boxing in general the can of TR build you know we have the big NES you the big SEC NES but

These these NES grew the Next Generation to Talent through and that’s that’s what this show is it’s called the breakout because it’s could be the breakout fight for Kurt Walker which we which we’re trying to do uh James be Jr is is is a fer who’s been there and done he mixes

With the to lads and if you’re not good enough you won’t beat him but if you’re good enough then you’re right in the mix so that’s exactly what it is with one or two fights also plan for the card which which were on the same kind of wavelength Fergus Quinn against Aston

Brown but that one just which I was really that would have been a banger yeah but but we we we fill it in well with with Rudy Rudy and Connor car I think for Irish boxing and for for the growth of boxing here them can of Fates are necessary um building building

Rivalries building building divisions with Jord who’s also on the card and I exactly what what this card is is basically a good Progressive card for for bigger showes down the road I’ve only spoken to two of them so far but they’ve both spoke about obviously how

Um Irish um Irish boxing at the minute we’ve had people open the doors over the years like see yourself Michael and Katy Taylor and how important it is and the sort of that position now for someone to sort of take the ball by the horn so

That we can continue to have these big nights over here how proud are you of the work that you’ve done so far I know you’re only still in the early stages but um you know putting fast boxing on the map and really trying to give it that push there it names I’ve always

Been very vocal on on on the quality we have here in Ireland um and the quantity to go with it so now that the the broadcasters are starting to see that more and more and we’re getting more and more shows and you’re getting the UK promoters legs of matcham and Le of

Queensbury all looking at shows in in Belfast and putting Belfast on their diary to have further schedule is is a Testament of the feds that’s coming through given these feds here and opportunity to grow to get better to get the big NS to get the big S feds that’s

Kind of what what we’re here to do um to do that you need to have these uster Hall you know compact 1,500 people atmosphere yeah great but the the boxing public in the oer hall they it’s a real they know their audience they know their fights that the audience kind of are at

One with the fighters they respect even the away opponents you know you don’t really see much people getting completely booed out of the ring you know in January we had was pH he didn’t get Bo coming in but bring him back by the way yeah you know like that’s

That’s they understand a good fighter he was here in August two years prior to it against t m so they they respected and understood what he was bringing to the table F the fans here know good faires and know know what they get behind know what they’re watching so the ster Hall’s

Always been uh iconic to to to box in here in in the country and long may continue but it’s it sets the stage for the boys to get it tap the user Hall two or three times you get the the crowd behind you start to becoming a name in

The city then you can move on to the bigger stages in the S Arena when you look at the promotional scene at the minute as well there’s a lot of things happening um people working together more frequently as well but um it’s also good to come up with some Innovation as

Well and I saw yourselves with um money sponsors that prize guy who doing a lot of good lot of good things and there’s a big sort of money machine that’s coming um it’s going to get thrown around and someone’s going to be get chose to try

And win is it £2,000 yeah um this Paul from that priz guy came to his just after Christmas and he said listen I’ve got this idea I want to put the cash machine in the ring and when he said it I was like me why has no one done

This before it’s insane it’s so insane that it only can work in boxing you know because boxing is the r late District of sport and that’s where something like this works but it’s fantastic it’s free entry your ticket guarantee so a tick will be drawn out on the night and

Someone gets a chance so initially where we’re going to get the the whoever Drew take it out to get into the the machine but then we realized that throughout the night that person might be inebriated or intoxicated Let’s get someone in so I think we’ll have one of the boys in

Tyrone poy we’re trying to rap either Frampton or Mel one of them ‘s in in into to do it and yeah looking forward to it it’s bit different and live on the zone as well a bit of a coup as well obviously it’s a big weekend of boxing I

Know um in London Fabia World phas CL they go out on the Sunday but for you guys to have the Zone sort of backing you and giving you that chance to say look let’s see what you can do um you must be happy with that it’s a big it’s

Where a lot of things are happening at the minute on it is it is for a long time I was told boxing and Sport will go streaming and and the apps will take over and it seems like it is coming that way the Zone have been trying to grind

That out through your process of moving moving the the eyes from TV to the to the phone and to the app and I think they’re more or less succeeding they’re they’re they’re really cornering the boxing market now and they’re really getting in there and what they’ve done

With matchroom in the UK is is amazing it was a big risk for Edie at the time to make that jump and it seems like it’s Pro proven came off well like so to to get them to like to understand the vision to try and draw like that Irish boxing is a

Market that has been untapped for so many years that is something that can be really grown to get in at this at this stage where it’s kind of more of a Grassroots stage to get to the bigger stage to to get behind and see the building of faders to see the career

When they are 3 and0 4 and0 to give them exposure on the Zone it’s amazing it’s amazing for Irish boxing it’s amazing for every boxer on the card to finally get what I’ve been banging the drum on a chance to Showcase to showcase the talent so it should it should lift the

Levels of the fighters on the undercard and and give them an opportunity to really steal the show another big plus and and and and and feather in the C for us is no other that we’re not competing with anyone else on the night yeah you brilliant yeah yeah so eyballs will be

Driven to to the to the boxing on Saturday what’s the the step for you obviously you’ve put shows on before and we know that but obviously you’re wanting to grow the brand grow Conan boxing have you got things in the pipeline a little smidgin or something

You can sort of say what you’ve got planned or is that all got to be kept under no I think I think we’ll sit down after after this one and Kenneth we we do have h a schedule planned out for the year um both in Belfast and then around

The other parts of Ireland and then looking El were in England and trying to kind of grow the operation a bit bigger but it’s a Val stage what we’re doing we we’ll sit down assess after Saturday and enjoy the Easter break and kind of put

The plan in motion but we do have we do have venues booked in the summer we’ve do we’ve Outsider venues in terms of I know Mick had met over with Ken Casey and Boston as well about looking to do something in Boston um with with Ken and seeing if there’s opportunities that can

Be done now because of the Irish demographic in you have false park is there a chance we are we’re in discussions here with the false Park about bring that back yeah it’s we done it last year with party and I wasn’t happy of how we done it like we

Didn’t we missed out on the big stands we missed out in the that and and i’ had a meeting with Kevin and i’ said like if we’re going to do it we got to do it the real way the right way and I don’t want

To do it just by know getting bums on seats I want to make sure it looks good feels good has that atmosphere and and and we kind of keep that going forward we need the ra faders to be a part of that we are in discussions with two or

Three Fates um but we do have it in in our shades for the end of July start of August I want to just quickly talk on obviously I know you touched on Kurt earlier and said about how this is the type of fight where if you doesn’t turn

Up you know James Beach the tap will capitalize on it another one of the fighters that was on the previous show um in leis Crocker he was long talked about fighting a pad Donovan what sort of involvement or what can you tell us about that um we’re just waiting on

Announcement we’ve we’ve we’ve done a deal with crack fate in June um um he’s currently in Camp with Billy Nelson now it’s a great fate it’s a big fate M have gave him a fantastic plan I think to kind of really have his uh have his

Chance to shine and become the next big Superstar of Irish boxing he has got all the talent and one thing we were always saying he wasn’t getting the opportunity now he has the opportunity he’s he’s not going to let this one go through his hands it’s a fantastic fight next it’s a

Proper fire fight next and then I think we’re all we’re all systems go and if both boys come through with PTY Donovan and and L before the end of the year and just quickly moving away from this CAG I know you’ve got a lot of people wanting

To speak to you um big fight that’s coming up Tyson Fury Alexander usk I’ve got to touch on that with you um also get shot for not asking um Tyson looks in incredible shape obviously the first fight sort of fell out because of the injury to the eye but what’s your

Feeling coming into this now I’m intrigued um I I really I Fancy i i fancy Tason I think I think he’s got all the attributes to really make it a hor for butk is an enigma that no one has been able to really uh solve yet I think

The SES will be the big factor on this fight I think there has been some things in terms of the body shots that have registered and you can start to look you you you look at the DU fight and say you know what there was even when he was

Hitting him to the body he did keep looking at the referee as if to say you know maybe kind of thing you think he’s looking at that going well let’s let’s see well we’ve always been told a a good bigan will always be a great Litt or a

Good Litt and and that is the factor because he is a natural Cruiserweight coming up but no one has kind of solved it yet and you seen Harry AJ is big strong the athleticism in AJ and he wasn’t able to solve it I think what beats usyk is the unorthodox approach

That Fury brings how he leans on you how he he is unpredictable in his attacks he’s unpredictable in his movements and usyk relies on predictable predicting the other reads in the opponent reading the movement Fury doesn’t know sometimes what he’s actually going to do inflict

The job when he’s going to do it the body is a is is a source of weakness and and something that I think that the boys will expose outside of your current stable now just a random one for you who’s the one fighter you really enjoy

Watching or you be like you know what I’ll stay up till 4:00 a.m. and tune in have you got a couple you’re like you know what I have to see that or is it a case of you’re in boxing you’re always doing anytime you get to sort of chill

And relax you take yourself away from it but is there a particular fighter you look at and go you know what I’ll stay up and watch him for sure probably because he’s just recent I really enjoy dton Smith I thought I thought yeah I thought um I’m not stay up till 4: a.m.

But the watch but uh have when you have three kids get you sleep but dalon Smith I think yeah there’s something about D Smith that I really like I’ve always kind of seen the and like he could make it Harry went about his business last Saturday wasn’t it oh

Unreal Harry handled them first two rounds um listening to the dad I think gr Smith is probably the best coach in England very underrated him and Sean Sean um ohagen are so underrated and you know I think LS are deceive him but the boys do a fantastic job and and how they

Go about their business but you could see you could feel the intensity of a fate when you know when you’re in with a puncher and you know when the pressure is against you when you know you’re being forced to kind of probably fight an a way that you’re not used to

Fighting as in fighting on the back field the way he was and having to be very selective and cous and kg and cautious but then how how he went about his work I thought was fantastic and how he’s improving and the progression that he’s shown is been been really really

Impressive would you like to see him and Adam AIM now yes yeah I think he beats Adam aim um can you understand why maybe um I know Ben alluded to the fact that it’s down to um Shane and their team to decide what they do next Etc could you

See M wa maybe why Adam aim who was only x amount of fights he still a young man um I know he’s been fast tracked to the European level but could you see why they’d maybe say look that fight will happen but we’ll wait or do you say why

Not just roll the dice now no listen she and and the MCG are very smart one thing they know is her to to bring a fighter along and to to take the fights at the right time when it suits them more than a than a 50/50 me as a general boxing

Fan obviously want to see it as a neutral but if you’re in the camp of Adam MIM you think why you know you’re building a fantastic profile himself on Sky he’s got a great following you know there is a a bit of momentum building behind him you kind of you can you can

Set it your own path he doesn’t necessarily need Dalton boxon needs it boxing needs the fats to come together but if they’re in one Camp it doesn’t suit them right um finally um is it going to be a sellout on Saturday you think yeah I think we’re already sold

Out I think we’re done yeah I think we’re we to go around check with the the aler hall but yeah um it was there was about 64 tickets left at the start of the 46 tickets left at the start of the week and they’ll be gone so I think um

We’re du to head round after this and and sit down but I think we’re all we’re all do it we’re probably on outside tomorrow magic well Lu if you can’t get down to the hall live on the Zone a terrific night of boxing and obviously bit of a warmup as well for what’s

Coming on Sunday a great weekend of boxing Jamie Conan appreciate your time thanks for talking to boxing social catch up soon cheers man thanks for coming
