Good stuff. I see Calzaghe recently admitted or was busted (one of the two) snorting coke in retirement.

Good to see Joe is keeping the weight off

 

Jeff can you tell us about your memories of your win over Bobby Joe Young on the Dokes-Coetzee card?

Young had a huge reputation as a puncher and would later stop the great Aaron Pryor so he's a fair scalp to have.

 

Yes it was a very big night for me. I was contracted to Don King who had just about every 140lb fighter in the division. Bobby Joe had just knocked out Kronk boxer Darrel Chambers on tv and was keen to have Don promote him. Dons son Carl who was my manager came to the training camp and asked would I fight him. I told him what he wanted to hear. Bobby Joe was a big puncher but my defence was spot on. He hardly touched me all night and I scored a knock down on the way. After the fight both Don and Carl wanted me to stay but I decided to come home. I thought I was going to be young forever.

 

I don't like music in the gym.What about these guys that have their ipods on. You can't give em instructions.

 

Choc keeps fit all the time. All the Mundines have always been fanatical trainers. He leaves for America this weekend and I know he will train most of the time hes there. My job is mainly the technical side of his preparation so I will come in probably 6 or 7 weeks before he fights. Last fight he moved into one of his houses to get away. We stayed there until the fight. Going into camp is always enjoyable. His groin worries me because coming back to soon could cause permanent damage. I preach that to him all the time so I hope he takes it in.

 

How come you are not going to America Jeffrey?

Also who was the last Aussie before you to post a century?

 

I am not going as I am a personal trainer here and I not only lose money by leaving the country for a month I lose clients. The last aussie to win 100 fights before me is a good question. I have no idea who it is.

 

Ash, I have never thought of anyone else reaching 100 wins. Maybe Flamengo or yourself can check up and see who was the last aussie before me. Its made me curious.

 

Give me 2 years and 100 argentinian cab drivers and I'll be there

(BTW im not saying that you fought that kind of opposition btw. Just suggesting thats what I would need )

 

Flash,

Not sure if you've been asked this one here or not, but has Anthony given up running in those bloody work boots yet mate?

If not, FFS hit some sponsor up for a pair of runners for him!

 

You mentioned earlier you are a Muslim. How long have you been - were you introduced to the religion by Choc?
