00:00Alexander, you've cleaned out the cruiserweight division, you've cleaned out the heavyweight

00:21division, you've beat Fury twice, you've beat AJ twice, you've beat Dubois already.

00:29Why do you still box?

00:33Because Jesus has given me the opportunity, I think this, now my cell road, it's free time

00:46undisputed.

00:47Listen, I love boxing, I love training, I love hard training.

00:57I guess it's to last my fight with Dubois next, I don't know who, I talk to you it's

01:05after this fight, it's my life.

01:11Going back to Poland, the first fight with Daniel, there was obviously a bit of controversy

01:16and a lot of noise about whether the shot was illegal or legal.

01:22But I want to ask you, and I think I know the answer, if the referee starts to count, one,

01:28two, three, do you get up?

01:30If the referee starts to count, one, two, three, I wake up, it's not a problem for me.

01:40Listen, it was in the past, for me I live now, present.

01:46And what about Daniel's performance that night, what did you think of it?

01:52First fight?

01:52Yeah.

01:53It was good, it was good.

01:55I think Daniel is a good athlete, a boxer, good, have good skills.

02:05Daniel's last three fights, great win, yeah, it's Horgovic, Miller, and then Joshua, he's

02:16a great fighter.

02:17I think after his fight against you, the run after that has been very, very good.

02:23Do you think he's a better fighter now than he was the first time you fought?

02:26Maybe, yeah, maybe, because a lot of years, two, three, yeah, yeah.

02:35Now I think Daniel will grow, like a boxer, like a man.

02:42Yeah.

02:42Does he deserve this opportunity, or is there someone else more deserving?

02:46Drew Parker maybe, or does Daniel deserve his shot?

02:49Yeah, I think Daniel deserves, because Daniel is from UK,

02:56it's interesting for all people.

02:59And people have labelled him and called him a quitter.

03:02They've seen what happened in the Joyce fight.

03:05Even against Drew, he finished the fight on his knee.

03:09Does he have a weakness?

03:11Little bit, yes.

03:12Little bit, yes, because maybe it's a younger guy, maybe, I don't know.

03:19Yeah, but Daniel is a little bit afraid.

03:23I'm two, but my afraid is different.

03:28Everybody has weaknesses, right?

03:30Everybody, nobody is perfect.

03:32What are your weaknesses?

03:35My weakness, I love people.

03:40I love my opponent.

03:43Only one of my opponents I don't love, it's Marco Hook.

03:46Marco Hook?

03:48Yeah.

03:49No?

03:49Not a nice guy?

03:50Yeah, not a good, bad guy, because this man say bad words for my mama.

03:57Listen, it's, it's bad.

04:01But all my British rivals, it's great people.

04:10Listen, first, George Joyce.

04:13Second.

04:15Joyce was WSB?

04:16Yeah, WSB six round, but first, for me, great test, it's Tony Bellio.

04:25It's a great man.

04:27Yeah.

04:27Tony gave me opportunity after fight in Tony, I go to up in the UK.

04:33Then it's Derek Chisora.

04:39Great man.

04:41For me, it's all big test for heavyweight.

04:45Then it's two-time Anthony Joshua.

04:49Thank you so much for this guy.

04:52Then it's my, my friend, Greedy Belli.

04:56Yeah.

04:59Big man.

05:00Now we will be boxing a second time with Dubois.

05:07Listen, I love UK.

05:09I love UK people and my opponents.

05:13We can call you the Brett Beicher.

05:16Brett Beicher?

05:17Brett Beicher.

05:18You beige the Brits.

05:20I love my British opponents.

05:24Yeah, a little bit.

05:26Which one gave you the hardest fight?

05:31I think it's the first fight for Tyson Fury.

05:36Because it's a big man, yeah, it's a great fighter.

05:41I think it's the first fight for Tyson Fury.

05:45Considering you've beaten so many British fighters, you have a massive fan base in Britain.

05:50People, people love you.

05:52I have a feeling that the atmosphere in Wembley won't be for Daniel Dubois.

05:57I think a lot of people will be there to cheer you on.

06:01How does that make you feel?

06:02You're coming to his backyard and you may be more supportive than him.

06:05For me, it doesn't matter because I go to the ring, it's my work.

06:14A lot of people will support Daniel Dubois.

06:19It's good because Daniel is from UK.

06:22I think it's great.

06:24Listen, this is the ring.

06:26For me, it's people.

06:28It's just a show.

06:30My work in the ring.

06:33So on July 19th, what happens?

06:36How do you win the fight?

06:39I win.

06:40Hi.

06:42Wonderful.

06:44Good man.

06:46Thanks, Alexander.
