Tristan Hamm made fast work in his boxing debut and now he desires to see how far he can take it.
Hamm, also called Mr. Journey on social media with over two million Instagram followers, had his boxing debut in January on the Misfits card. He scored a fast knockout win, and though he’s solely been boxing for six months, Hamm says being a part of the influencer boxing was one thing he had been excited about.
“I’m a diehard boxing fan, so I feel each true man has that dream of being Rocky Balboa. I’ve been lurking within the scene, seeing how all the things will develop,” Hamm mentioned on Just Scrap Radio on BJPENN.com. “Threw my progress in social media, I’ve had so many provides by varied influencer boxer promotions, everywhere in the world and a few fairly important provides. I didn’t wish to take any supply, as I wished to ensure it made sense long-term, as you possibly can’t play boxing. Misfits is a really severe promotion, issues are hitting up there, I prefer to say it’s a mixture of WWE and UFC however for boxing and actual fights.”
After Hamm’s knockout win over Not Logan Paul, he started campaigning to try to safe a boxing match with former NFL operating again Le’Veon Bell.
Hamm had been vocal calling out Bell and he’ll get his want as the 2 will field at Misfits 15 on Could 25.
“You possibly can’t play boxing, and boxing is a really completely different sport than the NFL or the journey stuff I do. On the skilled facet of issues, I feel he’s an unbelievable athlete, I feel he’s extraordinarily robust, he’s with out a query the hardest man in Misfits. There’s a Misfits match, he’s the hardest man, I’m not afraid of a tricky man. He has extra boxing expertise, however I don’t assume he has been in there with somebody who has the grit that I do,” Hamm mentioned.
Though Le’Veon Bell has extra expertise than Tristan Hamm, the Canadian influencer has full confidence in his abilities. Hamm trains below BJ Flores, who’s the previous coach of Jake Paul, which provides him confidence. With that, he expects to get one other KO win over Le’Veon Bell and ship an announcement to the remainder of Misfits.
“I positively assume you devour who you knockout. I positively assume I’m going to win the title in Misfits. I’m going to win the cruiserweight title, and that was KSI’s title, so I hope he comes again for it. There might be lots of people who’re speaking smack after I win it although,” Hamm mentioned.
Ought to Hamm get the KO win he’s after, he’ll end the Misfits match for the cruiserweight belt. However, after that, he hopes he can get a battle with Logan Paul, KSI, or Dillon Danis.
“I need all the largest names and the hardest competitors. I’m not calling anybody out, however combating Logan Paul can be legit, however I don’t know if he’s retired. If KSI desires to present me the chance, I’d like to, however I’ve a lot respect for him for giving me the chance with Misfits. There may be no one specifically who I bear in mind aside from Dillon Danis. The job didn’t get achieved correctly, I feel that may be an entertaining battle,” Hamm concluded.
