3:58
talent from brooklyn and just
4:00
never never you know never amounted to
4:03
none because they depended on their
4:05
talent
4:05
they didn't know they didn't know what
4:06
was hard work you know and that's
4:08
something that you know
4:10

4:11
hard for it yeah you know it's not going

4:27
you put that together man i feel like
4:29
you you become a superstar
4:32
you like that horse that man i like so
4:35
right now what's your what's the weight
4:36
that you fight comfortably at right now
4:38
is it 160 or 168 that you feel like
4:40
that's your actual comfortable weight
4:42
that you fight yeah um you know right
4:43
now um
4:44
i moved i just recently moved up in july
4:46
you know my july 21st fight
4:48
my first fight at the bubble you know
4:50
i'm with tom you know i i'm an mgm grand
4:53
um
4:53
i moved up to 168 you know the pandemic
4:56
head and stuff i blew up but i feel like
4:57
i don't
4:58
know not also that but i feel like i
5:00
really got a good rest so i feel like my
5:02
body grew
5:04
you know during them that that whole you
5:06
know the quarantine pandemic stuff that
5:08
we were stuck on
5:09
you know i was just home all day just
5:11
resting man just resting on my body so i
5:13
felt like i grew i grew bigger
5:15
my legs got bigger my arms everything i
5:17
started i felt like i hate i hate
5:18
i was hitting more harder and i just
5:20
felt comfortable you know i'm 23 years
5:22
old so it's not good to be and i 160 i
5:24
was killing myself
5:25
like bad bad i was killing myself you
5:27
know that's not healthy for you because
5:29
at the end of the day if i go into a
5:31
fight i'm not hydrated while i get hit
5:32
with a shot
5:33
it's over come on man we got eb right
5:36
here the super middleweight champion of
5:38
the world
5:39
now the reason why i'm saying this
5:41
because when you manifest it
5:43
you could say that swaying big horse
5:45
from bridge business was the first to
5:47
say that
5:47
all right oh yo i used to always watch
5:50
you man i used to be like i'm gonna get
5:51
on i'm gonna see suede soon
5:53
everybody that's out there that was big
5:55
i would say i'm gonna see all these guys
5:57
soon man and look
5:58
yo they look down happy you know and
6:01
that's a part of that manifestation
6:03
um that that she was that we're talking
6:06
about i heard you once say that you
6:07
manifested
6:08
everything that's happening but the
6:10
crazy part eb
6:11
and i want you to talk to your critics
6:13
man they not giving these knockouts of
6:16
the credit that that they deserve you
6:18
know
6:19
they're not giving you the credit that
6:21
you deserve they say you ain't coming
6:22
out that first round
6:24
they don't i guess they're not
6:25
considering your amateur career
6:27
your growth your transition from just
6:29
from being a boxer to a boxing puncher
6:31
man talk to your critics man they don't
6:34
believe yeah you know
6:35
it's already getting sickening you know
6:37
but at the end of the day i know i'm
6:38
gonna prove them wrong
6:39
you know and at the end of the day like
6:40
what fat joe told me you know
6:43
you know i could curse right a little
6:44
bit yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah go ahead
6:45
you know fat joe told me that they have
6:47
to write right
6:48
right literally right after my fight
6:49
facetime he said oh [ __ ] the critics
6:51
he said nobody could do what you do man
6:53
he said cause everybody if everybody
6:54
could do what you do
6:57
if it was that easy everybody would be
6:59
doing it
7:00
you know what i'm saying is jacob
7:01
stevenson my brother that was main event
7:04
we was in a room after the fight he was
7:05
like yo e
7:07
i ain't gonna front i fought 12 rounds
7:09
[ __ ] but i wish i had your power
7:12
i wish he told me straight
7:22
oh my god you know so right there goes
7:24
to show you that
7:25
a lot of people who who don't want to
7:28
who don't want them to get a first
7:29
vernacular or third or third round not
7:30
gonna go home early you don't get paid
7:32
over time
7:34
listen sway they go and they give me a
7:36
step up or they
7:37
they they put somebody in there or they
7:41
or
7:41
they um they put somebody in there
7:42
that's durable you know take me rounds
7:45
this last duel was in camp with andre
7:47
ward
7:48
canelo alvarez the charlo brothers
7:51
sergey kovalev
7:52
he was just in camp for my fight he was
7:55
he was just he was just he was just a
7:57
camera he was just a camp for my fight
7:59
with
7:59
hamiltia you know what i'm saying so
8:02
right there is like
8:03
it's it's like a fruitful like i he got
8:06
experience that's what i thought i said
8:07
he got experience
8:08
probably he couldn't know how to move on
8:09
over his way out to the first round
8:11
you know because if i'm safe i'm
8:13
sparring all these guys on the board
8:14
canelo alvarez all these top guys my
8:17
mindset is going to go on a different
8:19
level
8:19
because it happened to me yeah yeah man
8:22
that that's uh
8:23
man that's crazy me and horse was
8:25
talking about that too right or
8:26
horse yeah so since you're like 16 you
8:29
know right i'll be looking at it saying
8:30
hey
8:31
won't you start fighting some of these
8:32
rank fighters like you know the the
8:34
the six ring fighter the fifth ranked
8:37
fighter so you know
8:38
tell your camp to reach out to them you
8:39
know because you know these big dogs
8:41
they're gonna be scared to fight you
8:42
are doing a dude right now that got the
8:44
belt right now you think you want to
8:46
fight a dude that's walking in there
8:47
knocking somebody out in the first round
8:49
that's a lot of work man that's that's
8:50
that's true
8:51
i'd rather go dance with somebody for 12
8:53
rounds maybe knock them out
8:55
you're you're a monster you're running
8:56
in there saying you're a monster you
8:58
understand coming from that's the end
8:59
what you got so i you know i look at it
9:02
and say won't you go for
9:04
different belts like in that class like
9:06
go for the you know everybody want you
9:07
know
9:08
canelo and everybody want this that
9:09
third but you could rack up all them
9:10
belts so you could be the ghost
9:12
the sea guy you know because people want
9:13
to be undisputed so they got to see you
9:15
so you might as well just take all the
9:16
little crumbs on the belt so they come
9:18
see you no matter what
9:19
yeah you know like if you look at my
9:21
first 16 fights right
9:23
and you look at canelo alvarez's first
9:25
16 fights or you look at mike tyson's
9:26
first 16 fights
9:28
the wreck the the opponents that i got
9:32
is a lot better than what these guys was
9:34
facing their first 16 fights you know
9:35
what i'm saying
9:36
it's just you know what it is sway i'm
9:38
knocking them out in the first round so
9:40
i'm making it
9:41
i'm making the [ __ ] look so easy you
9:43
know what i'm saying i'm making it look
9:44
so easy
9:45
and it's not easy it's hard work sweet
9:48
you
9:49
hey you getting rid of them too quick
9:51
though eb it looks easy
9:52
man i know
9:55
is that the is that the goal going there
9:58
no overtime knock this [ __ ] out let's
10:00
get the money let's get out of here real
10:01
fast
10:02
yeah you know like i just pack them up
10:03
but i think the day i do it was i do it
10:05
with skill you know i use my jack
10:06
but it's like yo i got heavy hands if i
10:09
land listen yo
10:12
tell me if you're in the ring with
10:13
somebody and you hit somebody
10:15
boom and they or their eyes change and
10:18
their eyes go crisscross
10:19
what are you doing i'm gonna play with
10:21
the [ __ ] you're going are you gonna
10:22
take them out
10:23
don't think about it we're gonna take
10:25
them out it's not my fault
10:26
that the last dude for all these guys he
10:29
was gonna bring all these with all these
10:30
champions
10:31
and i just hit harder than all of these
10:33
guys you know i'm saying it's not my
10:34
fault
10:34
you know i just talked to god i asked
10:36
him why he blessed me with that power
10:38
any of the fights that you had did
10:40
anybody ever catch you with something
10:41
like oh
10:42
okay okay did anybody ever get you was
10:44
like you ain't got to name no names
10:47
in my fourth fight yeah like i got cobra
10:49
when i got hit i responded so quick like
10:51
i got hit
10:53
and i responded like five seconds later
10:55
i already had him on the floor
10:56
literally yeah like it woke me up you
11:00
know what you know my thing is my thing
11:01
is this it seems like
11:03
the pressure of keeping these first
11:04
round knockouts you know keep it going
11:07
you know keep consistent like if i was
11:08
your next contender right i'd be like
11:10
you know what
11:11
i'ma hold this dude i'ma tangle him up
11:13
for the first round imma frustrate him
11:15
imma see what he could do for the second
11:16
round
11:17
because maybe if you lose that streak
11:19
maybe it might throw you off your game
11:20
plan
11:21
you know maybe maybe you might want it
11:23
even you know you want you more hungry
11:25
to knock him out the second round do you
11:26
ever think like yo you know what
11:28
i'll go to the gym let me work on a
11:29
little couple of things because i know
11:30
there's got to be a couple opponents
11:31
that you fight that you'll be like
11:33
oh i know i can knock them out real
11:34
quick but i need some work you know what
11:36
i mean let me let me know
11:37
you ever feel like that in your mind
11:38
like let me get a little working
11:40
yeah um you know for this last fight
11:43
that i fought i was gonna i was
11:44
i really was gonna let i was gonna let
11:46
it go to the second round
11:47
but the [ __ ] was talking so much
11:50
[ __ ] man that i was like
11:52
nah i can't let this dude he was talking
11:54
too much i'm gonna get him out of here
11:57

14:04
um we were having a conversation that
14:05
was the first time i met him
14:07
and he was asking me before the fight
14:10
hey sway what do you think i should do
14:12
after the fight should i do a flip
14:14
should i do this dance step should i you
14:16
know i was like man why are you even
14:18
focused on that you ain't even had to
14:20
fight
14:20
right and he said nah man i'm confident
14:23
i'ma win but when i win i got to do this
14:25
i said why
14:26
he said cuz it could go viral and that's
14:28
the name of the game right now you got
14:30
to bring attention to your name so when
14:31
you look at ryan garcia
14:33
and how many followers he has teal
14:35
female who actually playing to that
14:37
playing to social media i like what you
14:40
do too i see you go on your live a lot i
14:43
see you talking to people
14:44
i love that you share your experiences
14:46
you're hanging out with
14:48
snoop dogg tracy morgan you know lil
14:51
wayne is hitting you up on your uh
14:53
on your face time man i know it's a
14:56
surreal experience
14:57
what do you find that all of those
14:59
people all of those successful people
15:01
have in common
15:02
and do you have anything in common with
15:04
them that's a good question
15:07
you know um that's a real good question
15:11
man
15:12
you know just for the simple fact that
15:14
it's different industries
15:16
you know but i i feel like one thing
15:19
that
15:21
we have we can have in common and that
15:23
we do have in common
15:25
is is is is the focus and and and not
15:28
get distracted you know because remember
15:30
you got snoop dogg that he's a rapper so
15:32
it's a different industry
15:33
you know you got tracy morgan he's a
15:36
comedian
15:37
you know but i felt like a lot of things
15:40
that that
15:41
that we are um that we're
15:44
like um the same at is uh the focus
15:48
on on one thing that you want and you're
15:50
gonna have to go and get that
15:52
you know and i feel like fat joe did it
15:54
that's how he did it
15:55
that's how tracy did it that's how snoop
15:57
did it that's how all these guys did it
15:59
was the amount of focus that they had to
16:01
get to where they want to get to
16:03
you know in the discipline that they
16:04
needed to get to where they wanted to
16:06
you know and the hard work as in the day
16:08
they all worked hard tracy had
16:10
i heard tracy's story you know how he
16:13
came up and he went into dev jam
16:16
and four months into being on def jam
16:18
whatever he became that's how he became
16:20
famous you know but he worked hard you
16:21
know he had to put himself in that
16:23
position fat joe had to work hard
16:25
and put himself in that position so i
16:26
just feel like you know it's like the
16:28
focus
16:29
the discipline and hard work that's what
16:31
it is man i like that
16:33
and then let's talk about the money
16:35
aspect
16:36
real quick because i know you got a plan
16:39
i know you about this money game i see
16:41
you in your cars
16:44
i see your rounds come on eb i see your
16:46
rims okay
16:47
um but money you know money is an
16:50
interesting thing
16:51
you know people worship money sometimes
16:53
and it and they take them down the
16:54
lonely road
16:55
you know you see people crash and burn
16:57
over money you see a lot of boxers a lot
16:59
of athletes make a lot of money
17:01
and at the end of the career they don't
17:02
have them
17:04
so now i like this question right here
17:06
you know where i'm going with it come on
17:08
i know you i know you're gay i know you
17:10
gave the mandate to top rank that man we
17:12
gonna break the bank
17:14
we gonna break the bank your question is
17:17
eb once you break the bank and you get
17:19
the money what are your plans to do with
17:21
it
17:22
so now i love this question i love when
17:24
people ask me this question because
17:26
you know i'm 23 years old but my mind is
17:28
on another level
17:29

rich but wealthy people that has big big
17:35
investments
17:36
you know um
17:40
investments you know like don't let the
17:43
money control you you got to control the
17:45
money
17:46
you got to use the money as a tool to
17:48
make more money
17:50
you know at the end of the day i want to
17:51
this is for my family so i want to help
