For 12 years I trained 5 hours per day, six days per week,
and I was motivated to train probably 25% of the time. The rest of the time I went because I am disciplined.

Most of you have never shadow-boxed 10 rounds in a 200-degree sauna while listening to Tyrese as your workout music.
Then you have the audacity to wonder why you don’t get any pussy.
205
If I love you, I don’t care about the consequences that come with that love.
If I suffer - then I’ll suffer.
Because love comes first.

“A lotta people out here working hard for nothing. They’ll never be rich. Never be anybody.
You’re goddam sure to make it boy.
Most of these people don’t stand a chance.
Make people smile when you can”
I agreed. And shook Dad’s hand. Time to go separate ways.
208
At the end of the event, I signed to WKN, a fight in 6 months time.
We were all FLAT FLAT broke.
We sat around the airport without water. I was flying to England. Dad to Switzerland to play chess.
“We tipped our last money away. Because we’re TATES. And we respect hard work”
209
I said to Dad “Is that why you didn’t spend the last 40 euros in the casino? Just to tip for our free meals”
Dad said:
“I ain’t scared of being broke son.
But I’m scared of not having any class”

The next day we were eating with our meal tickets.
Laughing and joking about how one day when I become world champion we won’t be poor anymore.
“Son! Nobody can beat you in a fight but ME! And I kinda like you”
At the end of the meal, Dad took 10 euros from our 40 and tipped.
211
Blackjack is a son of a bitch.
Hit hit hit hit 21!
How the dealer does it, nobody knows.
Across 20 mins Dad played perfect strategy - but the math was against him.
400 euros gone. We had 40 euros left between us when we decided to leave.
212
Dad said “There’s a casino across the road.
We either get rich or we stay broke. I’m a professional. I can’t do in-betweens”
As we finished dinner we counted up all our money. 450 euro.
Dad left a 10 euro tip with our free meal.
440 in hand. We went to the casino.
213
“Well shit son! We ain’t rich enough for this place! Mudafuckin water is 7 euros!”
I looked at the menu. He was right.
This was the first time in my life I saw money. 7 euros for WATER! Everyone around with bottles and bottles.
My mind was legit blown. By fucking Perrier!
214
By the time we all got to France. We had a combined pool of 500 bucks.
We went to a place called POINT Bar. The minimum spend was 500 dollars to get a table.
We had food and beds but that was ALL our money. So we left for a free meal and Dad said to me…
215
As a kickboxer I was just paying the rent.
As a world-level chess player my dad would travel America playing by Greyhound to play in tournaments & sleep in hotels.
Hustle chess in parks for money.
He’d bet $500 against $100. Give them 5 mins against his 1 min
And destroy them
216
They booked Tristan, my dad, and me a hotel right on the beach in Deauville France where they were having a fight event.
We arrived and checked in.
We were given meal vouchers for 3 meals a day and told to enjoy the show.
We had food and somewhere to sleep.
And that’s it.
217
When I was 23, I was the hottest kickboxing prospect in the UK.
National champion - 85% KO ratio - I was invited by WKN to France to discuss signing for their promotion along with Jerome Lebanner.
Dad still lived in the USA but agreed to meet me there to help negotiate.

Do you think the largest tree grew so tall amongst many if it didn’t fight?

I could never stop fighting even if I lost 100 fights because I’m not built to live a normal existence.
