I: We spoke just before your fight with Shannon Briggs and you were very confident about that, very slow start I think you had a lot of people worried around 1 and 2.

L.L: Yeah, I mean the ref tripped me and he punched me in the back of the head, that�s a good excuse.

I: You were being beaten up by a Lightweight!

L.L: No, I was off balance and it made it seem like it was a punch that knocked me off balance and you know it was a exciting fight and I like those kind of fights.

I: What turned it around for you, because after the second round you really went to work on Shannon Briggs.

L.L: Yeah, it was a situation when he came out real strong you know He had nothing to lose really and he basically busted his bubble and couldn�t really stay with the heat in the kitchen.

I: You�ve got a mandatory defense coming up against Mavrovic is that set now, do you know where you�re going to fight or do you when you�re going to fight?

L.L: I don�t know where I�m going to fight, I know that I�m fighting him, were trying to get a date we�re looking at July early August.

I: On this side of the Atlantic, are you going over there to fight him?

L.L: No, this one is going to be in Britain.

I: Oh! Okay that�s good for the home folks.

L.L: Yeah, he�s from Croatia and he�s got a big fan of people there that want to see him fight.

I: Are we going to see you fight Evander?

L.L: This is the question that�s been eluding me for a while, I imagine so, I imagine so because he�s fighting Henry Akinwande I don�t think anybody is going to give him any respect for that because I�ve already beaten Henry Akinwande, they don�t want to see that again. I think it�s only a matter of time, really.

I: Around the ring last night, we were talking about any big fights for Evander and we can think of two really good paydays for him: We can think of Tyson, we can think of you! I mean either than that Evader doesn�t really need the money but for him at this point, I can�t see anybody for him that�s going to make a decent amount of cabbage.

L.L: He�s waiting for Tyson, but he doesn�t realize that the time�s moving on. He�s 36 now, and he needs to get in the ring with the right guys. Emanuel Steward is training Henry Akinwande privately so, hopefully he can get something out of him.

I: What do you think of Billy Irwin�s return to the ring?

L.L: I think he�s looking good. I wish the best of Billy and I think he�s a great guy and boxer. And he definitely wants to make it in boxing and he�s doing a great job so far.
