Here is what Yahu “Rock” Blackwell had to say during an interview with a reporter:
Hey champ, it’s a pleasure to meet you and chat with you for a min. How are you feeling about August 20th? Any predictions?
Yahu Rock Blackwell replied:
“It’s a pleasure meeting you as well. August 20th is going to be a great night of boxing, we’ve been working hard and preparing for this moment, we are prepared to fight.”
Sounds great man, I’ll be in attendance that night. Looking forward to seeing you get it on. Do you think the fight will go all the rounds?
Yahu: “No I don’t, but boxing is the theater of the unexpected so we will see what happens August 20th.”
Take me threw a day of training, what does Yahu’s training days consist of?
“Normally we run in the morning, eat, rest a little. Then head out for strength and conditioning, eat again, then head to the boxing gym later that night. Everyday isn’t the same because the body needs rest, but that’s pretty much the normal routine.”
I hear that your a machine, your work ethic is insane. Is there any one you would like to shout out or acknowledge?
Yahu adds:
“Yes, shout out to Josh, Trea, Coach Goody, Andrew, Airloop, Coach John, and everyone who have supported and believed in me.”
Fantastic champ! The future is bright for you, many predict you’ll be one of the big faces of your division soon. Where can the fan’s find you?
Yahu concludes:
“Thanks bro, working hard every single day. Everyone can follow me on Instagram @yahu_rockblackwell. Thanks”
We are looking forward to the upcoming fight…are you?
