Shannon Briggs

And so many others, Zab Judah and all these other names.

Daniel Jacobs and, you know, Riddick Bowe, you know, Shannon Briggs.

But it was you, for some reason you, the newest Brooklyn champion, caused a whole neighborhood, a whole borough, a whole city to come together to form a parade in Brownsville.

Tell us about that.

It was wild.

I heard you guys found out because Mike Tyson was there.

You know what I'm saying? All of these guys, Shannon Briggs was there.

Daniel Jacobs was there.

You're going to sleep, champ.

And I'm like, did you bring Shannon Briggs with you? Like, what's going on here? And, you know, at this ceremonial weigh-ins, his hype man guy looks at me while I'm on stage and I lock eyes with him and he goes...

And then like, does the gravedigger like Tito Ortiz? I'm like, dude, you're so corny.

It's unbelievable.

So I just think that he needs to say, I'm a free agent who wants me, rather than starting his own thing.

um i think that's too much i think that he needs to build his career up because it's taken a severe beating with this um particularly people stepping in and and saying i'll fight you you know shannon briggs and um and you know that kind of thing

i would almost venture to guess that that was part of the release I would almost venture to guess that part of him getting his release was possibly conditional.

Would you do this, Steve? I'll give you your release because you're starting your own promotional company, not because you're going to sign with Eddie Hearn.

Riddick Bowe.

Shannon Briggs.

[laughs]

Andrew Dice Clay.

So it was really difficult.

and then so i go get married and we try and call out i remember we called it jamil decline we were trying to get al said call out jamil decline or call out shannon briggs because that's once you go through them two once you go through them you're on the next stage so that's right where i was i was right ready to go through that door and then i got married uh came back so now i'm sitting they didn't take the fight i'm sitting there And I'm always looking at England like, oh, my God, how England bloody got me.

And then Danny Williams was meant to be fighting Matt Skelton.

It's like six weeks notice.

...

Shannon Briggs.

Shannon Briggs is a good shout.

I just, yeah, that's correct.

Ooh, struggling now.

And this is the second time, um, some shady shit happened to me in boxing.

I was supposed to fight, uh, Shannon Briggs.

I don't know if you know him.

I do know.

I don't remember who this was.

Was it Shannon Briggs? No, I don't know.

This just popped into my head.

It was an old boxing story.
