So I just want to go back to just taking more risks, being fun, being a highlight, dude, like I was. Did it get less fun as you had the belt longer and longer? Certain fights. There was one, Marvin Vittori part two, when I was in there, maybe round three, and you hear, I don't know if it's on the fight, but I heard Twister, one of my coaches, was like, Don't get bored, Izzy. Don't get bored.
And I caught myself like, oh, yeah. But again, I didn't realize it because I'm in the fight. But he saw it in my eyes and my demeanor.
Yeah. But he could see it, though. Maybe around three or four, he could just see it. I was just like, this is boring for him.
There's no way, like he's gotta know who you are. That's why he pulled up on me. So I had a great morning training. Yeah, yeah, what's the story?
Matt was, I think he was in Thailand at the time. Okay. So I had good morning training, vibes was on, went to K Road to get this pie, like a famous pie on there. And I was just like, vibes was on, just chilling. And then this guy, I think because he saw my car, so he doubled back and just like, look at me like, yo, Izzy, one outs.
And in New Zealand, that's like one outs is like, you and me, one on one, let's go. What?
What? Then I started laughing and I was thinking like, the fuck? And people who were taking photos with me and stuff were like, the fuck? And I just kept on walking. And then the bit where it pissed him off, because he was at the green light, everyone going around him, honking their horns like, this fucking guy. Yeah. And then I went, I just grabbed my car door and I went...
And that pissed him off. So he just came in front of my car. And I said, bro, I'm not going to fucking whoop you off for free.
No, but then he pulled up and then, like, tried to, like, talk all this rash to me. And at one point, I even tried to defuse it because I was like, bro, I don't know you.
When I said, bro, I fight for millions. I don't fucking fight. I'm not going to knock your ass out for free. And he goes, nah, I fight for free. I fight for the streets, for my pride. And I was thinking, you're fucking stupid. You're stupid. Was he a white guy? Nah, a Maori guy. He was brown, yeah. See, that's the problem I had when I first moved to New Zealand.
I couldn't tell the difference between all of them. It wasn't because of racism.
But then in the end, I just as when I spat at him was when I was kind of like hoping try something. Oh, OK. That's at the end. You see me spit at him. He just looks down like and then I realize you're not going to do shit. But also because of our boy, like you remember the movie when our boy got knocked out? Yeah. Street violence. And I just realized if I drop this guy right now.
Boom. They're going to fucking put me through the ring.
Oh, yeah. They're being weapons. So for me, I was just like, nah. And again, we started a charity, Walk Without Fear, to help with this kind of sinless street violence. Because a lot of these guys, the boys that killed my boy, they did home detention for, I think, a year and a half. And during that year and a half, we all had lockdown for six months. in that time. So again, we all did it together.
So what's the, and now they're around free with their family.
Yeah, exactly. So again, we're trying to change the laws with that charity. And this video, I believe, will help because it shows the discipline of someone like me. Do that to Dan Hooker.
dan is like danza is a beast and dan would probably act differently and maybe maybe not knock him out but just put him to sleep hang him out yeah but still how does the video end because it's like it just seems like it was still going on if you go to the end you'll see me just spit at him and then when i slammed my car door down and i was kind of just like that that's when you were yeah that's when you got pissed yeah but when i was driving off he had a shirt off and he was still flexing and again
People, only one person, like when I said, can you call the cops? One person helped me. Everyone else just had the camera off at this moment. So you see me spit at him, there he looks down. And I got angry. Now what's happening right now? He just didn't do shit.
I was like, spat at you on your leg. If he spat back at me, then it's on. But again, I'm glad I had a good day. And I don't like street fights. I don't like confrontation. But if you bring the problem, then I'm going to solve the problem.
the range, because I'm within my rights and he's within range. I was just thinking of a fall. I was just like, man, if he hits his head, because it's downhill, it's more gravity, boom, and he's going to bleed out. And I probably wouldn't be here right now.
