Love Greenland forever. The nicest, most welcoming people I’ve ever met. Absolutely unconscionable that any government would try to impose themselves on a peaceful nation.

4 best things I ate on my Midwest road trip: A Reuben sandwich at Crescent Moon in Omaha; rib eye steak from Jackson Street Tavern in Omaha; burnt ends sandwich from LC’s BBQ in Kansas City; donuts from Drive-In Donuts in St. Louis

Kansas City is really beautiful, seems very livable with lots to do and little traffic. Maybe one of the most underrated American cities I’ve ever visited.

When I visited Greenland a year ago, the people welcomed us with open arms. We had a true diplomatic experience, sharing our boxing skills with the Greenlandic boxers. They love Americans, but no one loves imperialistic bullies. You gotta be a scumbag to not be welcomed by them.

Found a fountain of what looks like a little boy pissing in a frog’s mouth in Kansas City

Spent my birthday in St. Louis watching the Cardinals season-opener. Nothing more relaxing than an afternoon watching baseball.

Just arrived in St. Louis, first stop: Ted Drewes, home of the iconic frozen custard concretes! Ordered the Cardinal Sin because it’s Cardinals season opener

I’m basically the boxing Forrest Gump, just showing up anywhere and everywhere

Had a great time out in Puerto Rico. Never thought I’d find myself out in San Juan with a fighter boxing against a former world champion, but life is random like that.

Marked out for Orange Cassidy’s entrance at AEW Full Gear 2024

As a native of New Jersey, I can confidently state that the most authentic depiction of life in the Garden State is Artie Lange’s Beer League (2006). It’s basically a documentary about living in small town Jersey.

Had a fun time tonight at AEW Full Gear at Prudential Center. Was really hoping Orange Cassidy would have won the title here but we all know that was never happening. Fun show overall

One of the most educational things I had ever observed was when I was 13 or 14, seeing a teacher who moonlighted as a waitress on the weekends at a restaurant I was a busboy at in Hoboken doing bumps of coke in the kitchen. Confirmed to me that not all authority figures make awesome decisions.

Had a fun time up in Salem, Mass., the town is infamous for the Salem Witch Trials of 1692, but it’s a really cool New England town with a nice food scene (try the roast beef sandwiches). Got to see the Hocus Pocus house and the Bewitched statue.

Hiram’s in Fort Lee, NJ is one of the few instances where the blue collar, no frills New Jersey I grew up in still exists. They don’t take cards here, birch beer is on tap and the sauerkraut is always on the burner

Super proud of my boxer Sebastian, we’ve been working on showing his skills and defense and last night he put on a clinic with his jab.

Part of my interview discussing the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight tonight on Scripps News. Do you agree that this is a circus?

Boxing is my ministry. There is a reason why I've dedicated most of my life to it. It's because boxing saved my life, it gave me purpose, direction, self esteem. I know what it can do for someone. I respect it enough to know the dangers as well.

Me and my boxing crew at training today at DORCA Boxing in Newark, NJ. We were remarking how weird our lives are, we just travel all over the place and punch people and then go home like nothing happened
