Undefeated heavyweight Calvin Brock (24-0-20KO) spoke to ********** about his recent TKO victory over Clifford Etienne and his desire to bring a heavyweight world championship back to America. Brock also wanted to let everyone know who he’s looking to face next…former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson! You don’t want to miss it.

BT: Calvin, congrats on your impressive TKO win over Clifford Etienne. What is next for Calvin Brock?

Calvin Brock: Mike Tyson... I want Mike Tyson, I have always had a dream to fight Mike Tyson. I am motivated to fight him above and beyond anyone else in the heavyweight division, I want Mike Tyson... I can take him... I can beat him.

BT: Calvin, so you want Mike Tyson next... in your opinion what makes the most sense about a Calvin Brock/Mike Tyson matchup?

Calvin Brock: Well, a lot of things make sense about it. On my part it will be an explosive fight, I am the one of the hottest up and coming heavyweights the press. He is looking for a fight to regain some respect, I am a guy he can fight to do that. I am willing to take on this challenge, and be a man about it, and I would like to see him be a man and step up to the plate and take my challenge. It's nothing personal, it's just we are both in the same weightclass, and I want to take on the toughest challenge out there, and I think Mike Tyson is the toughest challenge.

BT: Calvin, there is no doubt that you are one of the fastest rising heavyweights in the division, are you looking to fight Mike Tyson this year?

Calvin Brock: Yes, I am looking to fight Mike Tyson my very next fight! April? May? very next fight... I can do it in March ... If I need to I can go right back training.

BT: Calvin, so there it is... you are announcing right here on **********.com first that you want Mike Tyson, and you want him next?

Calvin Brock: No doubt about it Brad.. I want Mike Tyson, and I want him now.

BT: Calvin, let's move on a little bit for now, and we will get back to Tyson in a few. Calvin, with your first nationally televised fight you fought Terry Smith and you also fought a bout of the stomach flu at the same time. With your recent impressive knockout win over Clifford Ettiene on ESPN 2, do you feel you got some redemption now?

Calvin Brock: Yes definitely, and it feels good... now all of those that were trying to be critics are now turning and becoming advocates. Now they are saying to look out for Calvin Brock, and that he has the potential of becoming the heavyweight champion of the world. That makes me feel good, and that goes in line with what I am saying about my working so hard for the past 17 years, when I first walked into the boxing gym. They saw a big improvement from my debut appearance on national television on NBC, to my appearance on Jan 21st on ESPN2 against Clifford Ettiene. They saw a much more impressive Calvin Brock, and they will see an even more impressive Calvin Brock next time they see me on national television, because I get better with every boxing match. I am hungry as I can possibly be now....

BT: Calvin, a few years ago the television gods didn't bat an eye at you. You were a 2000 Olympian, and yet you still did not get any television time. Things are now taking a turn for the better for you, talk a little more about that.

Calvin Brock: It's Brock time, it's The Boxing Banker time... it's now time for the world to see that Calvin Brock will be the heavyweight champion of the world. God's been blessing me.... that's what is all about, 2005 is the year for Calvin Brock to shine, and I am going to shine.

BT: Calvin, talk a little bit about your team. A lot of the time the guys behind the scene do not get the recognition that they deserve. Talk about Team Brock for a minute.

Calvin Brock: Well first and foremost Team Brock is run by Jesus Christ, my Lord and saviour. God is the most influential and most important person on my team. Then, I have a great mother and a great father that support me. In my corner I have Pops Anderson, and my great trainer Tom Yankello, I have been with him for the past 2 1/2 Years....he has increased my game tremendously.. I have a great cut man, and I have Main Events... I have the best in the world.. If you don't have the best in the world, you can't be heavyweight champion (laughing)

Brad Coone: Calvin, let's get back to Mike Tyson for a minute....Let's say that this fight happens, and you beat Mike Tyson.. would you say that this will put you in a position for a world title shot?

Calvin Brock: Most definitely, and after I beat Mike Tyson I want Klitschko.. and then I am going to beat Klitschko.. and then I am going to unify the title. Chris Byrd, Ruiz.. whoever is the title holder at that time.

Brad Cooney: Calvin, it's been a long time since an American has had the Heavyweight Championship, how important would that be for you to bring the belt back home to America, back to the American people?

Calvin Brock: It would be very important to me, because nobody has done it since Tyson and Holyfield... I am bringing it back man.. just give me a little time and I will be the people's champ.

BT: Calvin, your fan base is growing.. You have announced tonight that you want Mike Tyson. Talk a little bit more to your fans about what they can expect from Calvin Brock for the rest of this year.

Calvin Brock: My fans can expect to see Calvin Brock back on national television doing his best to win, and to win impressively. They will see a dignified Calvin Brock, a person that will carry the title around with pride and class.

BT: Calvin, you mention pride and class, and I want you to elaborate on that. Boxing has had its share of black eyes in the past, but there are some pretty classy guys in boxing just the same, guys like Robert " Ghost " Guerrero, Jessie James Leija, Manfredo Jr etc...

Calvin Brock: Yeah definitely, when I looked at the tape of my fight against Etienne on ESPN the other day, they were mentioning guys in boxing who are college graduates like myself, and Juan Diaz being in school, and Billy Irwin, and Etienne was on the deans list in his college. It makes me feel good that I can contribute and bring boxing into a different light as opposed to the past.

BT: Calvin, I appreciate the time.

Calvin Brock: Thanks Brad.

Brock just showed how weak he really is by calling out Tyson. I'm sure Hopkins had a dream of fighting Hagler and you don't see him calling out Hagler.

What a bum, first what does it prove a win prove against mike tyson nowadays second he will lose he's terribly slow, and third i just think he wants a payday nothing more nothing less, and people will get to know his name if he fights mike tyson and he will make some big money if he wins.

forgot i pick mike by KO 1 or 2

Exactly,he's 30yrs old and his nickname is "The Boxing Banker",so atleast he's not hiding it....lol

why does he not fight Audley Harrison or his stablemate Samuel Peter, or Wladmir but why on earth call out a man who is 38 years and lost his last fight and besides Tyson beat Etinne in one round look how long it took Brock

why does he not fight Audley Harrison or his stablemate Samuel Peter, or Wladmir but why on earth call out a man who is 38 years and lost his last fight and besides Tyson beat Etinne in one round look how long it took Brock
because of the reason's i just told, the fame, people will talk about him, he will make good money and if he wins wich he won't but if he will get a title shot, and make great money.

Tyson may not be the same but he will ko this kid in round 1 i would bet all my points on it.

He thinks by beating tyson he deserves a shot at the title!! What a clown, Any champ would school tysons old ass right now. This bum just wants a payday by beating up an old man

brock has no defense, is slow, and doesnt hit hard enought to kayo mike, tyson with one punch kayo in 1 round

Even with all the negativity in reply's, I would love to see this fight.

Even with all the negativity in reply's, I would love to see this fight.

I'd love to see this just soo Tyson would shut him up. Brock in my opinion sucks. I saw his fight against Etienne and he won because Etienne sucks even more with his glass jaw. Brock doesn't cover up well enough to withstand a shot from Tyson.

Calvin Brock's spot on the US Olympic Team shows how weak the US Amateur system is. His KO of Ettienne means as much as Tapia's recent SD win.

Brock, and Peter, seem to be the future, of the Heaveyweight division.

The problem with tyson is he beats himself it's not the fighters that beat him, he beats himself, by not training, by not being motivated, and just by not focussing on a fight 100% if he can do those things he can make a lot of noise in the division. first he should fight williams to prove he can beat him and just to win a rematch for once, after that he can fight ruiz or lamon brewster, it doesn't matter in wich order, if he can do that then we will see what he can do.

The difference is you can see Danny Williams wants to win his fights, I sometimes question that about Brock. I saw his fight with that guy on NBC, and he did his best Dominick Guinn impersonation and went into cruise control. FYI, Tyson won the rematch with Razor Ruddock.

Right now any heavyweight will fight Tyson. He is a huge payday for not all that much risk.

If Brock can make as much money losing to Tyson as he made in his entire career up to that point, then he should be calling out Tyson.

Tyson KO2, even now. Brock got hit with too many punches with the Rhino, and Tyson hits harder.

By the way, Tyson still sucks.

If Tyson doesn't KO Brock by the second round.....Tyson will suffer another humiliating loss.

For the money, I'd fight Tyson right now.

I hope theyt do fight and watch Tyson lose again just to hear all the Tyson scrotum sailors excuses. He tore his knee, he didn't train properly, he's too old, he was busy rapping lil chinese girls the night b4, but he's still gonna be champ before it's all over.
:LMFAO :o

god forbid Tyson wins, could you imagine what his delusional fans will be sayin!!! :eek:

To them, it would be Ali-Foreman.

That's a lot of talking, he reminds me of Toney a little bit. Give me this, give me that, I'll knock them all out, blah blah blah. I hope Tyson answers his call and shuts him up for good.

with remind me on toney you mean the trashtalking and not the skills right, i hope tyson doesn't awnser his call, he doesn't deserve the payday and the attention he will receive for fighting tyson.

you're just hating, tyson still p4p best in the world? he just has really really bad luck, like when his knee blew out to williams, and holyfield headbutted and was on steroids both fights. and buster douglas had a godam horseshoe in his right glove. and lewis paid tyson to lose so he could cement his legacy, Tyson still undisputed heavyweight champ!!!!!!!!1 he never lost

Admit it.....you're not being sarcastic with that post.

Admit it.....you're not being sarcastic with that post.

who said i was?

let's face it....

If Tyson studied a little, got his mind into shape, & got himself the right teacher.....he'd KO cancer, AIDS, & Lou Gherig's disease - no prob.

who said i was?
you should be sarcastic, or people will really start to question your knowlege on the sport of boxing.

shannonsweeney knows shes just kiddin around Tyson is as washed up as Ali is. Matter of fact I bet Ali diaper wearing, spit drooling, gimped up ass could still KTFO tin mike :o

let's face it....

If Tyson studied a little, got his mind into shape, & got himself the right teacher.....he'd KO cancer, AIDS, & Lou Gherig's disease - no prob.
And athlete's foot.

you should be sarcastic, or people will really start to question your knowlege on the sport of boxing.

ofcourse im kidding, i am still a fan of tyson, but he is way past it, ill still watch his fights though, for the first 2 rounds he is still the most exciting heavyweight out there

let's face it....

If Tyson studied a little, got his mind into shape, & got himself the right teacher.....he'd KO cancer, AIDS, & Lou Gherig's disease - no prob.

I don't think he could KO Martha Stewart though...she'd win on points.

I don't think he could KO Martha Stewart though...she'd win on points.
Atleast he'd have the balls to fight her. She's hard now that she went to jail.

Atleast he'd have the balls to fight her. She's hard now that she went to jail.
Hey asian you never answered my previous question. Yo bro do you knoww if the Bell/Davis fight is on the Judah/Spinks undercards Feb 5th? :(

Hey asian you never answered my previous question. Yo bro do you knoww if the Bell/Davis fight is on the Judah/Spinks undercards Feb 5th? :(
Oh yeah it is.

Hey asian you never answered my previous question. Yo bro do you knoww if the Bell/Davis fight is on the Judah/Spinks undercards Feb 5th? :(
What about my question? Why is The Prince so cool?

Mike Tyson won't even need a round to destroy this guy,
This has got to be some kind of a joke
It is a joke.....right?

What about my question? Why is The Prince so cool?
I have to admit I used to thimk his entrances were awsome! ;)

mike will knock him out.

Calling out the 38 year old, semi-retired, one legged Mike Tyson. This Calvin Brock is a real ballsy guy.

Tyson TKO2

Calvin just wants to get KO'd for some quick cash.

Mike at 55 would have a chance at knocking him out. He is pretty damn slow, and does not avoid many punches. Clifford Ettienne caught Brock with numerous shots, its just he lacked the power for those shots to make any impact. Tyson on the other hand, will most definately make impact.

Calvin just wants to get KO'd for some quick cash.
That's what it looks like.

Brock doesn't cover up well enough to withstand a shot from Tyson.

I don't think it would matter if he covered up or not lol, he didn't look very strong, either, despite his opinion of himself being "like He-Man in there" lol, he could cover up, and Tyson would still KO his sorry ass. And yes, I want to see it happen, Mike, please take the fight!

hmmm looks like the concensus is that everyone hates calvin brock lol

hmmm looks like the concensus is that everyone hates calvin brock lol


I don't hate him, I just don't think he has done enough to be saying the things he said. Calling Tyson out? That's just unrealistic, even at this stage of Tyson's career, he'd be a fool to think he could beat Tyson fighting the way he did against Etienne.

At this point in the game you have to think that Iron Mike is all done. I truly do not believe he could beat a guy like Brock. He like Holyfield should be retired.

Everyone wants a big payday..

Its pretty sad he tries to call out Tyson now. Everyone knows what a prime Tyson would do to him. He needs to focus on some prime fighters.

That's a lot of talking, he reminds me of Toney a little bit. Give me this, give me that, I'll knock them all out, blah blah blah. I hope Tyson answers his call and shuts him up for good.


Toney is funny. Brock is not.

toney vs brock :)

tyson get knock off in 3rd

Lets face it
Tyson is over
and no one cares about Brock

I've never seen this guy fight, but I think if Tyson is as motivated to come back as many think he is, he'll put up a pretty decent fight. I'd love to see Tyson come back and knock out some ****y young punk like that.

i think tysonw woudl kill this kid,no joke here..i think he would actully hurt this kid bad...someone tell him to shut up...it easy to say u can dodge traffic,it a big difference getting hit by a truck...basically,it easy calling tyson out,harder to wait him out while his stamina goes down

tyson has no chance

tyson has no chance

Why would bump a 3 year old thread u cunt.

He wants to bring a a belt back to the USA he says. The HW top 10 seems lacking on that front, few yanks at the top. His answer is to fight a fellow american whom is old and way past he prime. Slightly flawed given the circumstances. No American is really towards the top in your division, you need to fight ppl from elsewhere, basic stuff really.

did you realise that this interview was 3 years old? haha

no one seems to think much of Brock at this point and time. I never understood why people thought he was anything good...
sad he had to retire because of that eye problem though.

Yeah that was sad. Never really achieved his potential - he was a decent ish fighter.

Calvin Brock: Mike Tyson... I want Mike Tyson, I have always had a dream to fight Mike Tyson. I am motivated to fight him above and beyond anyone else in the heavyweight division, I want Mike Tyson... I can take him... I can beat him.

BT: Calvin, so you want Mike Tyson next... in your opinion what makes the most sense about a Calvin Brock/Mike Tyson matchup?

Calvin Brock: Well, a lot of things make sense about it. On my part it will be an explosive fight, I am the one of the hottest up and coming heavyweights the press. He is looking for a fight to regain some respect, I am a guy he can fight to do that. I am willing to take on this challenge, and be a man about it, and I would like to see him be a man and step up to the plate and take my challenge. It's nothing personal, it's just we are both in the same weightclass, and I want to take on the toughest challenge out there, and I think Mike Tyson is the toughest challenge.

BT: Calvin, there is no doubt that you are one of the fastest rising heavyweights in the division, are you looking to fight Mike Tyson this year?

Calvin Brock: Yes, I am looking to fight Mike Tyson my very next fight! April? May? very next fight... I can do it in March ... If I need to I can go right back training.

BT: Calvin, so there it is... you are announcing right here on **********.com first that you want Mike Tyson, and you want him next?

Calvin Brock: No doubt about it Brad.. I want Mike Tyson, and I want him now.

BT: Calvin, let's move on a little bit for now, and we will get back to Tyson in a few. Calvin, with your first nationally televised fight you fought Terry Smith and you also fought a bout of the stomach flu at the same time. With your recent impressive knockout win over Clifford Ettiene on ESPN 2, do you feel you got some redemption now?

Calvin Brock: Yes definitely, and it feels good... now all of those that were trying to be critics are now turning and becoming advocates. Now they are saying to look out for Calvin Brock, and that he has the potential of becoming the heavyweight champion of the world. That makes me feel good, and that goes in line with what I am saying about my working so hard for the past 17 years, when I first walked into the boxing gym. They saw a big improvement from my debut appearance on national television on NBC, to my appearance on Jan 21st on ESPN2 against Clifford Ettiene. They saw a much more impressive Calvin Brock, and they will see an even more impressive Calvin Brock next time they see me on national television, because I get better with every boxing match. I am hungry as I can possibly be now....

BT: Calvin, a few years ago the television gods didn't bat an eye at you. You were a 2000 Olympian, and yet you still did not get any television time. Things are now taking a turn for the better for you, talk a little more about that.

Calvin Brock: It's Brock time, it's The Boxing Banker time... it's now time for the world to see that Calvin Brock will be the heavyweight champion of the world. God's been blessing me.... that's what is all about, 2005 is the year for Calvin Brock to shine, and I am going to shine.

BT: Calvin, talk a little bit about your team. A lot of the time the guys behind the scene do not get the recognition that they deserve. Talk about Team Brock for a minute.

Calvin Brock: Well first and foremost Team Brock is run by Jesus Christ, my Lord and saviour. God is the most influential and most important person on my team. Then, I have a great mother and a great father that support me. In my corner I have Pops Anderson, and my great trainer Tom Yankello, I have been with him for the past 2 1/2 Years....he has increased my game tremendously.. I have a great cut man, and I have Main Events... I have the best in the world.. If you don't have the best in the world, you can't be heavyweight champion (laughing)

Brad Coone: Calvin, let's get back to Mike Tyson for a minute....Let's say that this fight happens, and you beat Mike Tyson.. would you say that this will put you in a position for a world title shot?

Calvin Brock: Most definitely, and after I beat Mike Tyson I want Klitschko.. and then I am going to beat Klitschko.. and then I am going to unify the title. Chris Byrd, Ruiz.. whoever is the title holder at that time.

Brad Cooney: Calvin, it's been a long time since an American has had the Heavyweight Championship, how important would that be for you to bring the belt back home to America, back to the American people?

Calvin Brock: It would be very important to me, because nobody has done it since Tyson and Holyfield... I am bringing it back man.. just give me a little time and I will be the people's champ.

BT: Calvin, your fan base is growing.. You have announced tonight that you want Mike Tyson. Talk a little bit more to your fans about what they can expect from Calvin Brock for the rest of this year.

Calvin Brock: My fans can expect to see Calvin Brock back on national television doing his best to win, and to win impressively. They will see a dignified Calvin Brock, a person that will carry the title around with pride and class.

BT: Calvin, you mention pride and class, and I want you to elaborate on that. Boxing has had its share of black eyes in the past, but there are some pretty classy guys in boxing just the same, guys like Robert " Ghost " Guerrero, Jessie James Leija, Manfredo Jr etc...

Calvin Brock: Yeah definitely, when I looked at the tape of my fight against Etienne on ESPN the other day, they were mentioning guys in boxing who are college graduates like myself, and Juan Diaz being in school, and Billy Irwin, and Etienne was on the deans list in his college. It makes me feel good that I can contribute and bring boxing into a different light as opposed to the past.

BT: Calvin, I appreciate the time.

Calvin Brock: Thanks Brad.
what a jerk, why doesn't he call-out a re-match with wlad ????

lol, keep getting caught out with all these old threads being bumped.:tapedshut

it does throw you off, doesnt it?
Yeah that was sad. Never really achieved his potential - he was a decent ish fighter. yea, a shame. but thats the risk of boxing, I guess. obviously he has a way to live after boxing though since he has a degree in accounting I believe, so thats good.

I never thought much of the guy and I dont really think he could have done much more in boxing...you saw what happened to him against Chambers. I wouldnt have minded seeing him against some of the other semi-top guys at heavy though, so its too bad.
