mmanews. tk:
On May 8th, at the Tachi Palace Hotel and Casino you were scheduled to take on Mickey "D" Martinez. This was going to be a awesome fight. Tell us about why this fight was cancelled and if it is going to be rescheduled?

Hit Boy:
Ill keep it short and simple, Sept 25th has been the date set for me to send Mickey "D" Martinez into retirement infront of his hometown!!


mmanews. tk:
you said you were weighing 270 at 1 time . What was your weight when you took the fight with Mickey "D" and would you have made 175 in time for the fight?

Hitboy:
I would of made "170lbs" with no problem, a high calf and bicep injury had prevented me to train at a high level for over a month and a half, my team had no idea I was injured, I tried to hide it as much as I could for fear of the fight being pulled, it was at the advice of my conditioning/boxing coach a good friend of mine James Fanshier that convinced me it would be in my best interest to post pone the fight to a later date.


mmanews. tk:
what is your current health and physical condition?

Hit Boy:
Since the fight has been re-scheduled I have taken the last 2 weeks off of camp to re-focus and allow my body to heal. My diet has actually improved and I am eating better than I was while I was training for the fight.


mmanews. tk:
You were also scheduled to fight for Gladiator Challenge on My 18th. Has that fight been cancelled also?


Hit Boy:
To be honest I had the toughest time securing that fight, I gave them over 3 months to send me a contract/confirm details, and to this date I have not gotten any confirmation/guarantee that my opponent was willing to step up and fight me. I wanted to fight one person and one person only PALIKA DRUMMONDO!! that fight was scheduled to take place at a catch weight of 175-180lbs. "PALIKA IF YOUR OUT THERE? STEP UP MY FRIEND AND LETS GET THIS THING GOING! PICK AN ORGANIZATION AND ILL MEET U IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING/CAGE!!" ( I would like to add that out of respect for the PFC and having to reschedule the May 8th fight, I decided that I would not fight on May 18th for Gladiator Challenge)


mmanews. tk
You will be on mmanews. tk live talk radio online Sunday April 27 @ 8pm pt For a LIVE listener call in show. Would you like it if Mickey "D" called in to the show?

Hit Boy:
Mickey got his 15 seconds of fame at the last PFC boxing show. For some reason Mickey got the bright idea to bad mouth me infront of over 2,000 fans? That was a joke! So to tell you the truth, if he were to call in id hang up on him, the only time I want to say anything to him is when I offer a toast at his retirement party!!



mmanews. tk
Is there anything you would like to say in closing?

Hit Boy:
All I want to say is I am here, I aint going anywhere for a very long time, so get used to it! If you dont like to hear the truth "TO BAD"!!!!


I also want to thank mmanews. tk for allowing me the opportunity to be heard
