CITY OF DREAMS

Posted By Treasure / April, 9, 2014 / 0 comments

The stage is set at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, with just four weeks to go until the biggest boxing event of the year happens.

Floyd Mayweather vs Marcos Maidana, Amir Khan vs Lou Collazo, Adrien Broner vs Carlos Molina, JLeon Love vs Periban and of course, yours truly. It will be the biggest and ‘baddest’ show on the planet this year by far.

Another hard week’s training completed. The ‘Doghouse’, (which is what the Mayweather Boxing Club is known as) is full of talented fighters. Sparring is always intense and can lead to much soul searching! If you can’t improve and up your game among such talented fighters, you are in the wrong profession.

The Money Team have been in training camp for five weeks now. The pounds are dropping off as we train hard in the unforgiving Las Vegas heat. All our fitness levels are increasing in these high altitude conditions.

This city is well known for being full of sin, but it is also full of dreams. I’m living my dream, and whilst being out here, the dream has gotten bigger. The pressure has become seriously intense, but I really believe in my dream. I believe in myself. The doubters come towards you, especially when big dreams are close to becoming reality, but proving people wrong and transforming non-believers into believers, is what I have come to do best.

I give my all and I lay it all on the line, as Mike Tyson famously said “Destroy or be destroyed” and Marvin Hagler stated “Destruct and destroy”. You can’t play at boxing. We are Spartans, barbarians, gladiators, warriors – all rolled into one. We risk our lives for glory and monetary gain. Many ask is it really worth it? I definitely believe so!

This week I completed my physical, blood work and eye test for my Nevada State Athletic commission license. I passed with flying colours!

So much goes into preparing for a fight and making the big fights happen. Boxing fans and boxing writers will never truly know how it all comes together. Being part of the world’s number one boxer’s team, I am privileged and blessed with the added knowledge and thinking of Floyd Mayweather. He generously shares how he breaks down the business, and how we as fighters can achieve the highest heights in and outside of the boxing ring. Thank you Floyd!

Floyd wants us to be the greatest that we can all be. Being the British representative in Mayweather Promotions; it is an honour and a privilege to represent The Money Team and Great Britain on the biggest stage in the world. I’m benefitting from being backed by a powerful and supportive team.

The stakes are high but hey, we are in Las Vegas. It’s the gambler’s paradise; so it’s all about rolling the dice and taking the chances as they appear.

Let the games begin!

I was born ready for these great days.

IRON MIKE

Posted By Treasure / April, 1, 2014 / 0 comments


It was Saturday 22nd November 1986, when an extremely young and defiant fighter called Mike Tyson, became the youngest heavyweight champion of the world in the history of the sport of boxing. He won the crown in Las Vegas at the Hilton Hotel. Tyson was the self-proclaimed “baddest man on the planet”. After witnessing the demolition – no-one would dare argue with him.

A six year old kid in London was spellbound and mesmerised watching Mike Tyson explosively knock out Trevor Berbick.

28 years later that same kid is about to have his second fight in Las Vegas, on the undercard of the Floyd Mayweather vs Marcos Maidana extravaganza at the MGM Grand Hotel.

Journeys have no definitive timeline. Do the right things and continue to work hard and harder still, and you will get closer to the outcome you dream of.

It’s all about the big picture. Setbacks will happen along the way, all successful people have learnt that nothing is straight forward. Many scientists, politicians, lawyers and doctors have all experienced setbacks on their path to achieving their ultimate goal. Boxing is no different. It takes time, focus and a good few years to achieve “The Dream”.

Amir Khan against Lou Collazo is the recently announced chief support to Floyd’s fight. I’ve sparred Collazo a couple times, and I’m on very good terms with his team as they tried to sign me last June. I graciously turned down their offer, as the number one boxer and highest paid sportsman in the world, Floyd Mayweather had promised me the fights I crave against the world’s best. And anyone who knows Floyd, knows he’s a man of his word. I will now have been on two of the biggest boxing events in the last nine months. That is something to be very proud of, and believe you me, I’m very proud of my achievements so far, but much more to do and much further to go. It’s a long way from London to Las Vegas, but it is sure worth it, I’ve got the number one boxer in the game, backing my name.

Adrien Broner will also be on the show, with JLeon Love opening the PPV telecast.

It will be a great weekend of boxing in Las Vegas with Ishe Smith fighting against Lara for the WBA Junior Middleweight championship at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, the day before ‘The Moment’.

It has been another week of hard work and dedication in Las Vegas. There are 5 tough weeks left until I fight at the MGM Grand again. Week in, week out, the aim is to be better than the week before, and in better shape and closer to my fight weight. Mountain runs, track work, boxing drills and strength conditioning. I can see why very few fighters get to this level. It is easier said than done, especially given the sacrifices you have to make, the torture you have to put your body through and the mental focus you need. It is not at all easy.

Finding faults is the easy bit, finding the remedy is what champions are made of.
