Speaker 1 (00:00):
I know a lot of people are excited about what's
coming up here this weekend, Saturday night. Roy Jones Junior
presents Fight Nights at the Gillespie that's at four twenty
one West Main Street. It wasn't long ago I was
talking to a young fighter who happens to be headlining
in this event, this black tie event coming up. He's
from Radcliffe. His name is Price Sparrow and he's back
(00:20):
in my studio now. Price. Is good to see you again.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yes, good to see you.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Training going well?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yes, their is going great, training going good.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
You know, I talked to your dad when you guys
were in here a few days ago, and he started
to tell me the story about how this was so
great because Roy Jones Junior sort of saw you fighting
or sparring or practicing somewhere and then it was like
I heard that you kind of caught his eye. And
guess what, Roy Jones Junior is in the studio with
us now with hen my brother. It is great to
(00:49):
see you.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Great to see you, my man, my friend.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
You have done amazing things in your own right in
your career.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Didn you win in four different categories. We diven divisions
that's that's incredible. First off, how are you?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I'm great, man, I'm great. God is good all the time.
So I'm great.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Well, it's just you know, obviously it's a it's a
tough sport, of course, but you you mastered it. I
mean you you won in all these different divisions. You
You've had these high profile pay per view fights. I'm
paid to watch you fight.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I appreciate that. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
And so you're you're doing well still? I know you run.
Do you run a gym or Pensacola, Florida? And to
please tell me how you first learned about Price Sparrow
from Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Got a friend me. He and his father's share a
mutual friend. My mutual friend told me, hey, my friend
has a son. You should look at him. He wants
you to look at him and see what you think
about him. So they bought him down and got him
the gym, got some work in with him, and I
like what I saw, and I got a chance to
watch them spar a little bit, and I was very
impressed with the maturity level that he has for eighteen
(01:55):
year old kid, you know what I mean. He looked
like he's twenty seven years old, but he on the eighteen.
So having that viewpoint makes you realize, Wow, he's already
doing things that you want him doing at twenty seven
at eighteen, right, So if you can add to what
he's doing, now, this guy's a limit.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
He's wise beyond his years, he.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Is and patient beyond his years, mature beyond his years.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I sensed that too when I met you Price, and
you know a lot of people have talked me after
that said I really like that young man you had
on there because it sounded like there's a lot of
structure in his life. Is that the right word to use?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
It is structure?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
And so here you are on this fight card on
Saturday night. This is pretty exciting and Roy, this is
a black tie event, so I know this is really
going to be special.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
For folks, very specially for people get it. You know
what with the conduct Derby coming up, we may as
we do it the right way.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Something.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
If you're going to operate around the time anywhere close
to the conducut Derby, you may as well make it
selling worth people's wow. So you make it a back
tie event, people take it more serious, and he is
something serious, so it's something that they should take serious
because if the fans come out of support like they
should do, then I expect to have him back here
over and over and over again.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Awesome. What do you see in price, because obviously you've
seen hundreds of fighters, if not thousands of them, thousands,
What do you see? How do you project about where
he could be in five seven years?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Like I said, the biggest thing for me is when
you see a kid in the ring at eighteen and
you think, dang, he looks he does more than some
guys who are twenty five twenty seven years old, and
he has more poise than some of these people have.
That's the biggest thing. Cost to be able to box,
but relax while you're doing it. Most guys can't get
I got some guys two twenty four years old. They
(03:44):
can't do what he do right now?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Tell me, I don't you know? I'm not a fighter.
So how does someone relax while they're in the middle
of a battle.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Well, if you watch duron Enis last weekend, Jeronius, fuck
this guy named Stanions standing Unis does not know how
to relax. Everything he does is wide open. You understand me.
And why I like teaching boxing is because boxing. The
way I teach it relates some kind of way to
everyday life. Almost every time. If you get in your
car and push it at one hundred miles now on Interstate,
(04:12):
you're gonna go for about an hour. It's gonna be
out of gas. Get in the same car and drive
between seventy Between fifty five and seventy, you might be
on the road for four hours because you're not gonna
bring your gas so fast. Now you're gonna be have time.
You can accelerate and pass cars, But you want to
use that when necessary. That's because that's called being economical.
That's way you gotta learn how to relax and use
(04:33):
what you need when you need it, but only when
you need it. You shouldn't be out there wide open
all the time, or you're never gonna relax.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Price. Where did you learn that technique?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I just came with it. You know. Pops always told
me to be patient in life and in the ring,
you know, be patient, wait for them to make a mistake.
Then when they do, capitalize on it. So it's really
just how I been my whole boxing career.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I forgot you call your dad Pops because it makes
it sound like he's ninety years old, but he looks
like he's your big brother. You don't mind that. So
you guys, are you talking the game every day or
do you give him a rest from it now and
again just to get his brain somewhere else.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yeah, we definitely have downtime. You know, we can't just
sort of how Roy just gave that whole display about speed.
You can't just always be on one speed. You got
to find a way to fine tune things in life
and with price. And that's which should be with any fighter.
You can't just feed and beat them boxing, beat them training,
you know what I mean. You got to find those
times where you relax. It's time to work, time to relax,
(05:40):
time to rest, things of that nature.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
So he's very well prepared.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
And you know, also with the legendary and this of ROYD.
Jones Jr. You know what I mean, we're gonna stamp
at every stamp to approve of everything.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Roory.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
What should be going into his ear as he walks
into this first professional fight. Are we going to treat
this like it's just another thing?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Treated likes another thing. It's just that we got to
remember that there's no headgear and the gloves are smaller,
so that means we can wait for him to make
the mistake. But when he makes the mistake, we definitely
gotta make him pay. We can't play around with it
because headbudd, elbow, all of those things are dangerous now,
but here you're on the higg kind of saves you
(06:21):
from those things. Now everything's I.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Open smaller gloves, which means price you have to your
reach has to obviously that the extension has to be
a little bit more, or you just have to get closer.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Not in said the extension, the explosion, the change of speed.
When you're gett an opportunity, you gotta jump on it.
If you don't, you might not get the opportunity again.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
How you feeling?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
I feel good. I'm a little nervous, but you know,
all the train that I put into it, it's gonna
go in my favor in a good way.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
You've heard this man's voice in your ear your whole life.
You know Roy now well enough to you're to be
able to hear what they say too. That's helpful, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yes, sir, for sure?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
You know all I'm say Relax and have fun, That's
all I say. It feels relax and have fun because
you knew how to fight. Of course, you know how
to do what You've been doing this a long time.
That's why I'm here, because you knew how to fight.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Well, you know, I know. It's a full fight card
that comes up. The doors open six o'clock on Saturday.
The first bouts at seven pm. We'll see you later
in the evening. And I know that you're you're happy
to bring a whole fight card here Tolleyville. This is
going to be, we hope a regular thing.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I hope so too. If people come out and support it,
then we're gonna keep bringing it back.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
All right, Well, I guess you would go to Louisville
sports dot org. Is that where we buy tickets or
is it an event? Right then? You told me it
was an event right there.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Roy Jones j Presents.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Roy Jones Junior Presents Fight Night. You can find that
on event night because we want to see you on
Saturday night. I think this is really cool black tie
event celebrating your launch into professionalism. And tell me about
your first professional fight. Roy.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Well, you know, it's like I spoke with his father,
and I like the way that the father received what
I told him. Because this kid has over one hundred
amateur fights, A four round fight is just another amateur fight,
but a six round fight properly introduces him to the
professional ranks. So this didn't start with six rounds. I
started with eight, but I was an Olympian, so I
(08:26):
was a little different. But he good enough to he
can start eight too if you wanted to. But six,
I think is comfortable. Six I think won't make me
and his dad to be too nervous too long. I
think get the job. None your favorite. But I didn't
want to do four because he has, like I said
in the ring, his maturity is out of this world.
(08:47):
So four rounds are not going to do him any good. Now,
it's not a problem that he gonna go past one round,
but unless at least have him ready for six so
that he knows if the guy gets away one round.
I gotta pace myself to go to these six rounds
and then be crazy, right, pace myself. But you teach
them in the avery aspect of the game, and fight
by fight, you gotta learn each time. If you don't
(09:08):
learn each time, it doesn't it's no good to push
you right.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
If you're running a marathon versus a half marathon. It's
a different mindset. Mile eleven and a half marathon you're
feeling pretty good exactly, but a mile eleven and a
full marathon you're not even halfway home yet. Just thought
you're just yeah. So it's a portioning out your energy
and like you said, using it in an explosive way
(09:31):
when it's necessary. There you go, boom, the window opens.
I see you're making a lot of appearances too. I'm
glad to see this. Kids need to see you.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah, to share what God gave me with the world.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Tomorrow you're at West End School two thirty to three
thirty and then Shawnee Boys and Girls Club. I love that.
And then the Public Way in is Friday five to
six pm and we're going to do that at Derby
City Gaming. That's right down near where you're going to
hold these fights. So are people invited to the public
cities Public Way in? Okay, Derby City Gaming. That sounds fantastic.
(10:08):
That's five to six pm at the new facility downtown
Derby City Gaming on Friday. Then Saturday full fight card
doors opened six pm. First about seven pm Price Sparrow.
We're all looking forward to seeing this new phase of
your life.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yes, so I appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
And I know it's gonna be fun for you to
walk up And you couldn't have a better guy as
a mentor and a tutor as the Roy Jones Cher.
I mean, this is, this is powerful. We're just glad
to get you here. And Roy, you know what boxing
means in this city. This is what this is. We
feel like it's a cradle for this game because.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
It's the reason I started boxing. It one for the
great Mohamma Daddy. I may have never picked up a boxing.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Do you remember the first time you saw him?
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Think of in nineteen seventy four. I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I think Frazier seventy four.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Yeah, first time I saw it and I looked at it,
and in my mind, he was just mentally playing games
with the guy he was he got, pissing him off,
making him do crazy stuff while he takes advantage of it.
I said, wow, I can't do that, because nobody ever
gonna make me mad. I'm too slick fittingboy to make
me mad. So if somebody just got a punch, I
can do that. And I was right, that's right, because
(11:16):
I did it.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
The name of that street right there is Muhammad Ali Boulevard.
I would love it if we had a Price Sparrow
Boulevard over on this side.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Down the road.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Let's go get him and have a great career. I'm
so glad you stopped by here. Price, good luck okay.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
And shouts out to my man Ed Kenan who came,
who's my partner with the promotion. Shouts out to missus
Sparrow over there for helping us get this thing going.
And I just hope the fans turn out and support him.
And they support him, then we're gonna keep bringing him
back and keep moving him.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
We'll see you on Saturday night. Looking forward to Roy
Jones you and you're great to meet you, and congratulations
on your runs. Just unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Thank you, great to meet you.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
And then and the pay per views for worth it.

it's not a problem that he gonna go past one round,
but unless at least have him ready for six so
that he knows if the guy gets away one round.
I gotta pace myself to go to these six rounds
and then be crazy, right, pace myself. But you teach
them in the avery aspect of the game, and fight
by fight, you gotta learn each time. If you don't
(09:08):
learn each time, it doesn't it's no good to push
you right.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
If you're running a marathon versus a half marathon. It's
a different mindset. Mile eleven and a half marathon you're
feeling pretty good exactly, but a mile eleven and a
full marathon you're not even halfway home yet. Just thought
you're just yeah. So it's a portioning out your energy
and like you said, using it in an explosive way
(09:31):
when it's necessary. There you go, boom, the window opens.
I see you're making a lot of appearances too. I'm
glad to see this. Kids need to see you.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah, to share what God gave me with the world.

Tomorrow you're at West End School two thirty to three
thirty and then Shawnee Boys and Girls Club. I love that.

six pm and we're going to do that at Derby
City Gaming. That's right down near where you're going to
hold these fights. So are people invited to the public
cities Public Way in? Okay, Derby City Gaming. That sounds fantastic.
(10:08):

Speaker 1 (10:25):
And I know it's gonna be fun for you to
walk up And you couldn't have a better guy as
a mentor and a tutor as the Roy Jones Cher.
I mean, this is, this is powerful. We're just glad
to get you here. And Roy, you know what boxing
means in this city. This is what this is. We
feel like it's a cradle for this game because.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
It's the reason I started boxing. It one for the
great Mohamma Daddy. I may have never picked up a boxing.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Do you remember the first time you saw him?
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Think of in nineteen seventy four. I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I think Frazier seventy four.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Yeah, first time I saw it and I looked at it,
and in my mind, he was just mentally playing games
with the guy he was he got, pissing him off,
making him do crazy stuff while he takes advantage of it.
I said, wow, I can't do that, because nobody ever
gonna make me mad. I'm too slick fittingboy to make
me mad. So if somebody just got a punch, I
can do that. And I was right, that's right, because
(11:16):
I did it.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
The name of that street right there is Muhammad Ali Boulevard.
I would love it if we had a Price Sparrow
Boulevard over on this side.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Down the road.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Let's go get him and have a great career. I'm
so glad you stopped by here. Price, good luck okay.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
And shouts out to my man Ed Kenan who came,
who's my partner with the promotion. Shouts out to missus
Sparrow over there for helping us get this thing going.
And I just hope the fans turn out and support him.
And they support him, then we're gonna keep bringing him
back and keep moving him.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
We'll see you on Saturday night. Looking forward to Roy
Jones you and you're great to meet you, and congratulations
on your runs. Just unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Thank you, great to meet you.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
And then and the pay per views for worth it.
