this year is Oscar Bev for The Stomping Ground powered by while hydrating available on his own look who it is Bo Main Event himself Mr Danny arens um really good to see you mate promoted to Main Event a couple of days into fight week now you must be loving life mate I'm buzzing man to to be given this opportunity is unbelievable it's a blessing man and I won't take it for granted yeah fighting Danny Simpson a Premier League winner in 2016 which I believe you would have been around 13 14 I would have been a young young boy that is I would have been a young boy yeah he's crazy it's it's weird to think about really but hey it's it's going to be an experience obviously is there's an age difference is it there's a big age difference but I think it's going to be fun I think it's going to be a very very fun experience talk to me about the timeline from when bivo pulled out of the fight to how we landed with honestly man it was looking it was looking bad bivo dropped out I don't know why there was no like uh backup opponent or whatever but it was it was weeks of don't know if we can find someone oh Danny we found someone um was like okay cool let's do it oh they've just told me actually they're not ready it was a lot of like oh these people want to fight then they get off of it and they're like oh actually maybe not so I have to literally say fair play to Danny Simpson he's had the same like offer as everybody else and he's taken it so I can't really how can I Trash Talk someone that has taken a fight on five weeks notice to just to save me you know what I mean cuz if it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't be fighting so I have to I have to I have to say thank you yeah no Absol absolutely credit to Danny Simpson I've got to ask can you name names of who turned down the fight cuz the opportunity to be main event on Misfit I'm surprised people turned it down I am what I'll say is they're big names and I won't say anything because they might be future fights okay so I'm doing Ms a solid cuz hopefully next uh next time I fight it will be one of the names that weren't ready you know can we play a game where if I get the name then you give me a slow wink so if I just go Ed Matthews cool cuz he is running around saying he wants the fight I just wonder if it was something was no it was uh I don't no I'm not ruining it I'm not ruining you see I just I'm I don't like what I've done for a lot of this is tell everyone before it gets announced they're like yeah cool we kind of knew that so I want them to I want it to be announced and then they'll be like oh wow actually be genuinely surprised you know so I'm going to keep it lowkey no I like that and then see what happens after Saturday of course um you got asked up there what you thought of Danny Simpson at the open workout you said tried to keep it nice and respectful but then he was like now you're change sh like and he drew something out of you and you said you thought he looked a little bit slow he look for for me like pads and all that it's not really an indication you can look sick on pads be awful you can look awful on pads and be sick it's not an indication I was asked a question and I said no he was and then he started trying [ __ ] I'm like look I'm just trying to That's my boy yeah that's my boy but you're good yeah um yeah so I was just like look I didn't I didn't want to say anything bad he was like oh know you CH [ __ ] no I'm not I wasn't I was just trying to be nice but he he he got the out with me mate well I was going to say considering it's probably one of the most if not the most exciting fight on the car it was the only fight that perhaps lacked a little bit of bad blood yeah there's some serious heat on that stage today oh mate that that press conference I've face off as well oh the face I was I was warned extremely much not to do anything the other people did I wasn't going to do it anyway of course but that was for me the most like entertaining press conference maybe cuz I would sat up there but I think as the audience they would have loved that I mean I know you're used to having millions of people watch what you do granted a lot of time through a computer or a phone um but being up there being in front of the cameras doing interviews this week how have you taken to the other side of boxing that isn't just getting in the ring and training mate I love like this is the easy part for me that the challenge will be stepping in the ring and fighting a man I've not done that before I've stood in front of a camera thousands of times you know what I mean so this is all fun press conference uh open workout this is all my element you know um the r test is Saturday night you know I'm looking forward to when there is a fight that you're in Beyond Saturday I know that's the focus but when there is a fight where we have to see a little bit of [ __ ] you a little bit of a it has to be like look I believe I'm a nice guy you know what I mean I will I will I will be nice and polite and respectful to everyone but in a ring I can't I'm not asking how your day is in the ring you know what I mean like it's I have to flick the switch Saturday night we'll do that what are you expecting from the first minute of the fight the first minute of your boxing debut what we going to get I'm expecting I'm expecting pressure from from Simpson I think if he's smart he applies pressure um and I expect myself to handle that pressure and get the W yeah I know you're very intent on saying that Misfits is where you want to be you want to stay in the influence of boxing scene this isn't a oneoff um are you looking around plotting a little hit list if you win this already even after one fight you're quite a Capt Misfit so are you looking around big fight big fight big fight mate I want to I don't necessarily want sells if that makes sense I don't want oh what's going to do the most pay-per-views what's going to do the most views or whatever I want what makes sense to me and what I would personally want to like train for and like you know proper work for for me this is the storyline uh a FIFA Player FIFA YouTuber fighting a guy that's on FIFA or used to be on FIFA it's just a sick storyline so I want to do these fights where it Mak sense not necessarily the the most uh back and forth between the two like no disrespect but I wanted do the fights that uh that entice me yeah well you're even talking like a boxer H hey come come on Boss come on Boss come baby What's happen sorry you left to share a mic no no I don't I asked you this at the open market how far can this man go in the misfit scene from the bottom of my heart uh inshallah and I mean it's from the bottom of my heart 11 Bel 11 Bel if if if like I said and you always have to say this right because all what we've seen so far is what's in the gym as far as what he's doing in the gym is concerned and as far as how he's sparring that guy turns up right then someone please tell KSI that we have found his replacement and the replacement is suitable you know what I mean well there we go we found ksi's replacement according to H we all can't wait to see what ksi's replacement looks like on his debut um final one to you Danny will you knock out Premier League winner Danny Simpson yes full stop
