What would you say to anyone else that's thinking about doing a fight? And how has it changed your life and how will it change their life? You have to do it. Even if you don't want to do it. Even if it's like your biggest fear, because you learn so much about yourself on the way, you might just surprise yourself. You might just be more in there than you think. In the end, it leaves you with this feeling that you can't buy, you can't get anywhere else. Fight simulation, four rounds. That's going to cool out to me how we fight this fight. Set up a minute's rest, we have a 30 seconds rest. Test out the new 10-ounce gloves. Have a jolly good old time. Let's go. You touch gloves. Head movement, you're defending. Head movement, keep the rolls going. One, two, roll, then one, two. Nice.
Sit. Hit, hit, hit. Now he's away. Now keep throwing the jab. Keep him away. Keep him away. Keep him away. Hit, hit, hit. Hit, hit. Nice. Now he's on the inside now. So grab it closer. Some bodies, some uppers. Hit, hit, hit. Hands up when you're doing that. Hit, hit. Yes, keep your hands on your chin. Hit, hit, hit. Now jab to get out again. You have to get away from him. Now cut the ring. Think about where he is. Getting back to the corner. Sit. Keep that head movement. Be hard to hit. Yes. Yes. Yes. Slip then jab. Slip then jab. Yes. Ah. You're down again. Jab again. When you try to keep him away from you. Keep him away from you. Yes. Because he walks the inside. He's way shorter than you. Yes. Keep your reach. Oh, and he's throwing it. Well, when you're walking around, you're moving. Because he's throwing it yet. That's it. This is Paris, let's roll. And then throw it back. This is it. I think he's done good.
Is that a good check? I've worked very, very good. So very proud of the work. Fitness is up, especially technique is up, which wasn't that good after his first fight. But I think we did a great job in reprogramming him all his subconscious programs. Now he moves good. He has his strategy. He understands where to hit, when to hit. So I think Jack is coming for a knockout. I think his opponent will not last more than three rounds. So I think it will be quick and painful. Good luck. That's what we want. Is it feel good now, you know your opponent? Yeah, it feels nice. And who is it? Professional, professional fighter. You see, we wanted to do a pro fight, my last fight was pro in Thailand, which means it goes on something called box wreck, which is where all professional boxes get wrecked. So my current record is O1-1, which is terrible. That just means one loss and no wins. So if I thought amateur this time, if I didn't fight a professional, then I wouldn't be able to fix that record. So all of the guys that wanted to fight and the guys that we trained for, that were leading up to this,
the guys that wanted to find me, other influencers that dropped out, we were trying to get them professional licenses, left it too late, and now we just have to fight a professional with who already has a license. So that's what we're doing. We don't know much about him. We've seen one of his fights, and that's about it. And then we just start really trained for anyone. You've got four days. Yeah, five days. What did you do last time in the four days? And what would you do differently this time? I can't remember. I can't remember. I can't remember a fucking last time. But you said last time that you didn't enjoy it. You said that you'd stress yourself out so much. What are you gonna do? What's the plan for the next four days to make sure you just relax and enjoy it? I think that's why I can't remember it. So I was so stressed out and in my head. I was just so hung up on the fat like, you can't lose, you can't lose, you can't lose. So this is why I'm going to win. I know that I'm gonna win. Even the idea of losing in my head is that it doesn't come into my brain, but even if I was to lose this fight, it doesn't matter.
It's like you've trained your heart out, you fight your heart out. If you end up losing, you're such, so much proud of yourself, you're just getting in there anyway. So I've kind of reduced the magnitude of oh my god, I'll lose and be embarrassed. That doesn't really bother me. Which I think makes me able to handle nerves a lot better this time round. I'm not as nervous, I'm just enjoying it. So the best thing ever, me and the boys are training every day. All we have to think about is boxing right now. We're not doing any other work. Just hanging out and boxing. And we get to all go in and not fucking track suits. All our stuff on and just fucking box someone's head off. You kid of me, my friends and family watching. How did it change your mindset? Being around other guys that are all going to the same thing. I think it just, you're not special. And that's good for me, because everyone's going through the same thing. So you can't ask for any fucking princess treatment or like no one else is going through it. Everyone's going through it. So you just get on with it and you enjoy it. And this time I just didn't think of it as a hard thing or thought. It was a fun thing. Do you think it made you train harder
having the competition? I want to be the best in the room. I always like being the best. I love competition. I'm naturally a competitive person. For me to train my brothers around me is a godsend. How'd you feel your baby appearance in the ring is going? I can't wait. That's like a 10x power up. That's a goblin gun for a pack of punch for me. That is an absolute fucking, that's a regular gun. That's a regular gun. That's a regular gun packed out of the box. That's all that is. Yeah, for me having my parents there is not nerve racking. It's just power. That's all it is. You've seen the fucking hard work. The blood, the sweat, no tears obviously, because I don't cry because I'm not fucking pussy. But you've seen the blood and the sweat. Go and buy the stream underneath and watch the fight, support the fight, support Fabian, support the fighters, and come and watch if you're winded by the ticket to buy in person tickets to be underneath and the stream link will be underneath. It would mean a lot to me. It's not a lot. It's 26 bucks. We chain the fucking high out for it.
If you want to support the fight, watch us live. Check it out beyond the third of December. And then the next video you'll see from us will be a full breakdown of me behind the scenes on the fight, the fight, the wind, the knockout, the glory, the Rolex, everything. But yeah, guys, thanks for the support and let's go do this. Let's go perform. I'm really looking forward to it. What about? Oh yeah. What about?
