Kassim got hurt and Verno Phillips got the title but it is his time and he was going to take it then and he is going to take it now. We all worked hard and he deserves to win the championship. All three of us have input in it, and Kassim is very happy about that. With all three of us putting our team work together we are doing it as team, and we got him feeling comfortable about what is going on, it’s a dream team. All he needed was a little bit more help and now he is there. We got a good team, we got experience and he is a determined dude. Kassim is in shape and he is coming to take his title. Verno knew he was fighting, but the thing is we have Me, Johnny Bumpus, and Fred (Muteweta) putting our heads together because we want to win this title. TW: I watched the last fight with him and Kassim, and he made the excuse about not having enough time to prepare, when Kassim was the one that didn’t really have but ten days to get ready. RC: Why don’t you give us your thoughts on Verno Phillips, Kassim’s opponent this weekend? We worked with a lot of other fighters also. TW: He worked with these Russian guys, he worked with Yusef Mack 16-0-2(10) one time, he worked with Terrance Cauthen 26-2. RC: Who are some of the fighters Kassim sparred with in preparation for this fight? We were going over hitting the pads, smarting up things, intelligent things, a little more boxing and stuff like that. Up there in Philly, he was getting good boxing. He boxed a lot up north in Philly, he boxed here in Florida. We trained through the hurricane and all that stuff. TW: Good, he is in good shape, we are training hard man. RC: How did training go with Kassim for his first attempt at a world title?.
