"I ain't never heard of him. The only thing I know is he is a bum of the month for the Klitschko SistersÂ…excuse me, I mean the Bitchko Sisters. This is a travesty. They are ruining the legacy of the heavyweight division and the heavyweight championshipÂ…now Albert whatever-his-name-is will fight him. How are you going to get a title shot when you only had three 10-round fights? If you look at his damn record, you are not going to know none of them names. They were all taxicab drivers and prostitutesÂ…These fighters don't want to fight and I like tough fights; one after another," stated IBA heavyweight champion and future Hall of Famer James "Lights Out" Toney as he talked more about his disgust at Vitali Klitschko's latest opponent. You don't want to miss what he had to say about his promoter, Dan Goossen, and the reason why he's having a difficult time finding someone willing to face him. Check it out!
PC: Albert Sosnowski is the opponent that replaced your name in the quest to fight Vitali Klitschko. Have you ever heard of him and what are your thoughts?
JT: I ain't never heard of him. The only thing I know is he is a bum of the month for the Klitschko SistersÂ…excuse me, I mean the Bitchko Sisters. This is a travesty. They are ruining the legacy of the heavyweight division and the heavyweight championship by doing shit like this, you know what I'm saying? And these fans and media still think it's all about the belts? What has this bum done? But that's alright though because I'm taking on any comers for my IBA heavyweight belt and let everyone see the real heavyweight champ, which is James Toney, because I'm the only one still willing to fight anybody. Everybody in America knows that and I can't believe we have so-called American patriots representing these guys. Shelly Finkel and Tom Loeffler ought to be ashamed of themselves. They go only where the money is; they don't give a fuck about the game of boxing.
PC: The problem is there are not enough boxing people in the sport of boxing.
JT: They don't know shit about boxing and these two, Shelly Finkel and Tom Loeffler, ain't never put on a boxing glove in their life except for to try it on and to get it autographed.
PC: Sadly, I understand Sosnowski is getting a 7-figure payday for this fight.
JT: He better spend it wisely over there in Poland or wherever the fuck he's from, Albert Snowsowski, or whatever his name is, because much like every other Bitchko opponent, he will disappear after this fight. Everybody in America knows that James Toney is the true and only heavyweight champion out there, period! I will fight any and everybody. They just have to pay me and don't delay me. These motherfucking imposters and frauds impersonating fighters, the Bitchko Sisters, and they are letting them do what they want. That's why the WBC, WBA and IBF are losing respect because they letting these motherfuckers do the shit and get away with it; the WBO and the IBO. They letting them get away with it. I know you seen the video of the Bitchkos running on the beach like some fags. Shelly Finkel was probably right behind themÂ…naked.
PC: Everyone in boxing is letting them get away with it, writers included.
JT: The writers must be getting paid to shut up because they should be pissed off too.
PC: It's not that we are hating on the Klitschko brothers, or any fighters for that matter, but their fights are all starting to look the same because they are fighting guys that, after a few rounds, they decide they don't want to be there anymore. No fault of their own, but they know exactly what they are getting.
JT: Exactly! And then these promoters are too worried, saying, "We don't want to upset the WBC or WBA." Man, fuck them motherfuckers; they ain't nobody. I have the only heavyweight championship that's based in America. I got the only American-based heavyweight title and that's the only one that counts, the International Boxing Association with President Dean Chance, former great baseball player.
PC: It has to be frustrating because you were in line for the Vitali fight and you were actually being a good guy and stayed quiet about the negotiations and then they pulled this on you.
JT: They told Dan Goosen if the Valuev fight feel through, they gonna let me fight him. Next thing you know, when the Valuev fight fell off, they talked about fighting Solis. What the fuck? The dude only has 15 fights and now Albert whatever-his-name-is will fight him. How are you going to get a title shot when you only had three 10-round fights? If you look at his damn record, you are not going to know none of them names. They were all taxicab drivers and prostitutes.
PC: What are they telling you the reason for these guys not fighting you?
JT: Dan telling me they say I'm too dangerous. Dan telling me his hands tied, but his hands ain't tied with Arreola and Eddie Chambers. They all making excuses, "He's short, he's fat and is going to come in out of shape." Don't worry about it! Just sign the contract! Everybody making excuses about the WBC. I'm not worried about the Would Be Crooks or the Would Be Asking or the damn International Butt Fuckers; The WB Oh my goodness; The WBOgus. I'm the People's Champ! I'm the real heavyweight champion. If any promoter wants to get their promotional company off the ground, I can do that for you like I did with Goossen Tutor. Nobody knew who Goossen Tutor was until I came and fought Jirov. I brought that company from the bottom up and this is how they repay me? It's okay! It's all good because now, if anybody else want to hollaÂ…I'm still cool with Dan, but Dan gotta step his game up and I'm going to step my game up. I have been loyal to this man. I ain't went nowhere because I think that's one thing boxing lacks is loyalty from the fighters and the promoters; both sides. The promoters gotta be loyal to their fighter, you know what I'm saying? Pacquiao has been loyal to Bob Arum and look what's happening.
PC: They are trying to put you on an Andre Ward undercard, but you've done that favor already in your last fight.
JT: I ain't doing that again. No, no! It ain't going to happen!
PC: So the offer to fight on the Ward-Green undercard and the ESPN Tony Thompson offer is the only ones that have been brought to you?
JT: None! I keep telling Dan let me defend my IBA title. He says, "You know how I feel about that." That means he don't want to do it because he's afraid what the WBC and WBA is going to do. I ain't never seen a man so scared of an organization from out of the country before in my life. Granted, I have had some mishaps in the past, but that's the past. Let the past be the past; hell, they had some mishaps with me before in the past and I stayed loyal. These fighters don't want to fight and I like tough fights; one after another.
PC: You would think with the way the division is, it wouldn't be tough to sell the mouthiest heavyweight in the world, even if people want to see you get shutup.
JT: Exactly, but you know what? Dan isn't trying hard enough. The man backing Goossen, Ron, is one of the richest men in the world and they can put the money up to make it happen. We can defend the IBA belt and make it bigger than the WBC and WBA belt for the simple fact that it's got my name behind it.
PC: A lot of people forget that Larry Holmes left the WBC to go to the IBF and people called him crazy. It worked out pretty good for him though.
JT: Yep, exactly. No one knows what belt Pacquiao and Clottey fighting for or Mosley and Mayweather. They can look it up, but it's the name attached to these belts, not the belts.
PC: People see you have made a move to the UFC. I know you don't have to train boxing for MMA because you have that aspect down, but how are you splitting up your training?
JT: I'm doing both at the same time. I'm shuffling both games and MMA is actually helping my boxing get better.
PC: Well, you know call me anytime you have something to say and we're going to get it up for you.
JT: Hell yeah. Well, Percy get with your boys and pump James Toney, the IBA world heavyweight champion. That's the only American heavyweight champion. That's what you do and that's how you get these motherfucker's attention.
