00:25You are a busy, busy guy, like there are so many different mediums that you're touching
00:30and like doing different stuff within it, what do you want to talk about, what's the
00:32one that we should be celebrating the most you reckon, what are the highlights?
00:36I mean all of them, how long have we got?
00:41Well I mean obviously with me performing that's probably going to be a huge part of it, I
00:47haven't really released too much music this year, if any at all, so I'm really sick of
00:54it and I'm also going to be releasing a song, another song this month, but yeah it's been
01:00nice to dip back into the music, I feel like I've gone very boxing heavy the past few years
01:07and you know it doesn't mean I'm stopping with the boxing, I've got another fight lined
01:11up next year, Q1, but it's exciting times for that, music, I'm going to be releasing
01:19more and more music, maybe even do an album next year, we'll see, Britain's Got Talent
01:24was sick, like a really good time and I can't wait for people to see that, some crazy moments,
01:31some viral moments I can already tell, maybe at my expense as well, but I mean, so I could
01:38go on, I was going to say like, also I've got a group, Sidemen, we're releasing Inside
01:45Season 2 on Netflix, that's going to be really, really sick and yeah man, just more and more
01:52exciting things.
01:53Hey, I understand, yes, you are sitting in on Britain's Got Talent in place of Bruno,
01:58was it?
01:59Yes, in place of Bruno.
02:00So please tell me, what's your interaction with Simon Cowell, like how would you bounce
02:03off of him, are you guys best mates, are you enemies now, are you boxing him?
02:06Boxing him?
02:07Yeah.
02:08No, no, no, no, we kind of align quite well because he just, he buzzes quite a lot, I buzz
02:14quite a lot, I'm a guy that, I've seen a lot because of the internet, so I'm not going
02:20to really waste my time and try to just be super nice to everyone, so if I'm there like,
02:25I'm bored, because I've done it, you know, just online as well, I've done various talent
02:32show things where I'm a judge, so yeah, it was just like Dr. Water, honestly, it felt
02:38so natural, felt so easy, it was so much fun and I'd love to do it again.
02:44Nice, I have two final questions for you, one, we're at the National Lottery Big Bash,
02:47what's the biggest bash you've been to this year, what's the best party you've been to
02:50in 24?
02:53That you can tell us about.
02:55I mean, the thing is, I don't really party that much, I don't drink, so I'm like, people
03:01call me boring, but I don't know, I like being boring, especially because my life is quite
03:05crazy, so it's nice to have just a bit of chill time whenever I can, but I guess the
03:12coolest thing was, I'd say last week, I came back from Qatar, we were there for Misfits,
03:18it's a boxing event, no, I run, and with one of the days, we had this cool dinner, I brought
03:26my mum with me and a couple of friends, and I brought my trainers as well, and there was
03:33a lot of other celebrities in there, a lot of footballers, ex-footballers, etc, and after
03:40the dinner, we had 50 Cent perform, yeah, so I got to see 50 Cent, bro was just smashing
03:48it, bro, I didn't know how many bangers he had, he's just rolling it off, I take it to
03:52that candy shop, da-da-da-da, bro, it was nuts, man, it was one of the sickest shows,
03:57and it was crazy, cos he's there, like, staring in your eyes, and there's times where I don't
04:03know the lyrics, so I'm like, yeah, yeah, bro, yeah, so I don't look awkward, so that
04:10was quite cool.
04:12You were coy about that, but I've asked a few people, that's the best answer to the
04:14biggest battle so far, yeah.
04:15That's the best answer?
04:16Oh, okay.
04:17And finally from me, can you please complete this sentence, 2025 is the year of bats.
04:21Oh, man.
04:22Take it any way you want, yeah.
04:252025 is the year I take over.
04:29If you haven't already, come on.
04:30Yeah, yeah, take over more, man, I don't know, you're going to be sick of me on this one.
