00:00 You know, I'm not thinking about to have a fight against Canelo.
00:03 I'm thinking about to have a fight for another belt.
00:06 I beat him once and I like my position.
00:09 I'm a winner now.
00:10 Why I have to want to fight him again?
00:14 What's up, GQ?
00:19 I'm Dmitry Bevel and this is my 10 essentials.
00:29 This is my training stuff.
00:31 Usually, even if I have 3-4 days trip,
00:35 I try to take with me my shoes and my clothes for running.
00:39 I don't usually take my gloves if I have a short trip,
00:43 but sometimes if I have a short trip and my coach with me,
00:48 I could use my gloves.
00:50 But shoes and stuff for running I take.
00:52 I like to make my body sweat, you know.
00:55 It's kind of a praying for me when I go to the gym and I run.
00:59 Even just 30 minutes I have training and I feel myself much better.
01:03 I feel my mind more clean.
01:05 If it's possible to run outside, of course I prefer to run outside.
01:09 I like it more because I could see the area where I am.
01:13 This is one of my watches.
01:15 I don't like accessories at all.
01:20 I like only watches.
01:21 I never use some bracelets, rings.
01:24 Only watch on my body.
01:26 I like watches.
01:27 The only accessories you like are watches, jammies, and belts.
01:31 Yeah, belts of course.
01:34 I don't have a big collection.
01:35 I have maybe 4-5 watches.
01:37 This is Hublot.
01:38 I don't have favorite watches, you know.
01:42 They are different.
01:43 It depends how I'm wearing.
01:46 This is my hair wax.
01:49 I use it.
01:50 Why?
01:50 Because I have a short haircut.
01:53 Just 7 days and my haircut is ruined.
01:57 I don't make a new one.
01:59 I just use my hair wax.
02:02 It makes me a little bit more fresh or better.
02:08 I don't like spray.
02:09 I don't like gel.
02:10 I like this one.
02:12 It's like bubble gum, I think.
02:14 The texture, you know.
02:16 Do you style your hair before a fight?
02:18 Before a fight?
02:19 Before a fight, I don't care about my haircut, to be honest.
02:23 I have vitamin C and I have melatonin.
02:29 I'm taking vitamin C, you know.
02:31 Sometimes it's just multivitamins or another supplement.
02:35 Melatonin is the tablet which I use a lot.
02:38 I travel a lot and time is different.
02:41 Just an example.
02:42 I came here yesterday from Dubai to get sleep.
02:47 Of course, I took melatonin.
02:49 It's important to feel healthy.
02:52 It's important to feel that you slept enough,
02:55 that you ate the right food, that you're recovering enough.
03:00 Because if you're not recovering,
03:02 your next day will be terrible.
03:04 I like to use this mat.
03:08 I think we could put it in the same category
03:10 with the vitamin C and the melatonin.
03:13 It makes my body more relaxed before sleep.
03:17 I just use it low back to my mind, you know.
03:21 Of course, it hurts in the beginning.
03:23 If you are not relaxed and you try to lay on this mat,
03:27 it's hurting you.
03:28 You relax your muscles, your body, and it will not hurt you.
03:32 This one is kind of the highest level.
03:35 This is the sharpest one with the metal needles.
03:38 You know, it's like a drug.
03:40 The plastic dosage doesn't make me high anymore.
03:44 I need to use the metal one.
03:47 Okay, this is my pen.
03:51 Usually, I try to have my pen with me
03:54 because sometimes you are flying somewhere
03:57 and you need to add some information.
04:00 I have my pen, my own pen.
04:02 This is my power bank.
04:05 I bought it and I like it
04:07 because I don't need to use a cable.
04:09 It's magnetic.
04:10 And of course, my AirPods.
04:12 I like to listen to music when I'm flying,
04:15 when I'm running,
04:16 if there's noise somewhere, I just use it.
04:18 My favorite music is the music of the 80s, to be honest.
04:22 It reminds me of my childhood.
04:24 We have, maybe you don't know these bands,
04:27 but on the East, they are famous.
04:29 It's Modern Talking, Bonnie M.
04:32 Maybe you've heard about them, but no.
04:35 This is my eye drops.
04:37 Usually, I wear it with me
04:39 because sometimes I tell you about I'm traveling,
04:42 I didn't sleep enough on the plane.
04:45 When you travel a lot, my eyes get red
04:48 and this helps me to make it more white.
04:51 Simple, you know.
04:53 This is my book, which I start reading.
04:58 Usually, when I go somewhere,
05:00 I should have something to read.
05:02 This is my new book.
05:03 Usually, I'm reading from the phone.
05:05 Sometimes, I just like to read novels.
05:08 This time, I just want to read some psychology.
05:13 It's about being egoistic, you know.
05:16 To think about yourself
05:18 and to think about the time when you are now.
05:22 Don't grab for your past
05:25 and don't think too much about your future.
05:29 Try to enjoy the moment when you are staying now.
05:33 This book teaches these things.
05:36 And of course, in my boxing trips,
05:38 I think this is the main important thing.
05:40 It's my team.
05:41 This is my manager.
05:43 His name is Vadim.
05:44 Hello, Vadim.
05:46 A couple of years ago,
05:50 Vadim was my translator
05:52 because I didn't know English well.
05:54 He's our brain,
05:56 the brain of our team.
05:58 How we should move,
05:59 what about our plan,
06:01 our plans, what about our fights.
06:03 All questions to Vadim.
06:05 And then, he will think about it.
06:07 He will...
06:08 Not answer directly.
06:10 Thank you, GQ, for checking my essentials.
06:14 See you next time.
06:15 Bye.
