How He Met Tyson Fury

January 16, 202600:53
00:00:00
Israelis, what's your relationship with
00:00:01
him first?
00:00:01
>> I wouldn't say I've taught him boxing,
00:00:03
but this is quite a cool story actually.
00:00:04
So, he's bald, he's drunk, talking like
00:00:06
the most [ __ ] the entire car ride. And
00:00:09
then, what do you guys do? I box. I went
00:00:11
to Cor Games, won a gold med. How old
00:00:13
are you? 18. Real recognized real. This
00:00:15
is 2014. Fast forward, he's made it onto
00:00:18
the UFC scene. They were looking for
00:00:19
striking sparring for their upcoming
00:00:21
fight against Anderson Silva. I was
00:00:23
like, "Yeah, I'll do it." And they're
00:00:24
like, "The only issue is Anderson Silva
00:00:25
is a southpaw. You can spar southball,
00:00:27
right?" And I was like, "Uh, yeah." Fast
00:00:29
forward, he comes and watches my fight.
00:00:31
Tyson Fury's happened to be at the same
00:00:33
fight. I fought that fight as a
00:00:34
left-handed fighter. And Tyson Furies,
00:00:36
remember one thing he said to me, and I
00:00:38
thought this is hilarious. Someone in
00:00:39
the gym was saying, "So, you can fight
00:00:40
south?" And Tyson yells out, he goes,
00:00:42
"Dave thought that Southball was a
00:00:44
flavor of ice cream." I was like, "Oh,
00:00:45
you motherfucker." And now he's calling
00:00:47
me into camp to spar as a southpaw for
00:00:49
an upcoming bout. That's the biggest
00:00:50
clash in recent boxing
