He was known for showing up at press conferences and walking to the ring with a boa constrictor around his neck. He brought a “voodoo witch doctor” to a Mancini press conference. He taunted and tested his opponents. He was often roundly booed.

This lively interview with the Rastafarian champ is follows a conversation with trainer Max Garcia about his 20-year-old sensation, undefeated featherweight Ruben Villa, and our opening segment with expert analysts Travis Hartman, Rizwaan Zahid and John J. Raspanti, during which we break down the upcoming World Boxing Super Series cruiserweight and super middleweight tournaments.
