Check it out!
PC: How is everything going, man?
BJ: I'm good, man. I'm good with the hands still (laughing).
PC: And due to all of the injuries, hopefully we get to see you put them to work soon. You have publicly said you would fight Klitschko or Mitchell.
BJ: Yeah, I don't know what's up with all of that. I just think they are looking for a better way out. I won't even say they ducking; they just looking for a better way out.
PC: Are you in the gym staying prepared or would you need a little bit of a notice?
BJ: I live in the gym, but a little notice would always be better. I'm in a situation where I'm always about 2 weeks away from being ready for a fight. Even when I'm chilling and all that, I'm good; can't nothing stop me.
PC: Do you have a preference as to which fight you would like between Klitschko or Mitchell if one was to become available?
BJ: Shit, the world title would be the best preference for me.
PC: I checked you out on 106&Park with Mike Tyson. I'm sure he is someone you followed growing up. What was that like, sharing a stage with him?
BJ: It was good to be on the set with Mike because Mike always has a ton of people watching him, so people were definitely tuned in. I was on there with him, so it was definitely a good thing. Just to be in the presence of someoneÂ…just to be sitting down at the same table with him was like, "Damn!" I went from sitting at the table with a bunch of people trying to make it to sitting at the table with someone who actually been there before.
PC: Off-set, did he offer any advice to you?
BJ: We didn't get a chance to really talk like that, but I'm quite sure if we would have, he would gave me some tips on a few things. Mike really knows boxing.
PC: If the two fights that you are hoping to get because of injuries don't come to fruition, is it still looking like March for you as far as a ring return?
BJ: Yeah! They have certain fights, like the winner out of some fights, but other than that, a world title shot and that's about it.
PC: If anyone from the Seth Mitchell camp or the Wladimir Klitschko camp is reading this interview, what do you say to them?
BJ: I'm always ready for whatever, so don't ever slack up or slip up because you gonna see me one day.
PC: What are your goals for this year?
BJ: This year I want to break on the scene and capitalize on my career, both financially and my place in the division inside of the ring also.
PC: Is there any name in particular you would want to get in there with next?
BJ: No. I just want to fight international opponents and better competition where I can step forward in my career and I can be labeled as the best because I can't be the best if I'm not fighting the best. I can't accomplish that, so I need those guys to get me there.
PC: Are you willing, if given the opportunity, to go to Russia or one of these foreign countries to accomplish your goals of becoming a world champion or would you prefer to do it over here?
BJ: Yeah, I think that's gonna be the only way to do it. You just gotta do what you gotta do.
PC: I hope you land one of these big fights soon. Is there anything else you want to add?
BJ: They can find me on Twitter and Instagram @BYJennings. I want to let the world know that a star is born and the heavyweight division is not dead and Bryant Jennings is here to keep it alive.
