Staying alongside actor Martial artist Chuck Zito mr. Zito has your weekend going my weekend is going great. Just be another year Sifu Ellen Goldberg’s Academy Award of Martial arts right here, of course action Martial arts Hall of Fame. So, we’re here again, that is a badass key, my friend every year I see one of these things. You’re looking at younger and younger you haven’t aged a day. What’s your secret. Well, actually, I lost thirty pounds recently. So I guess it made me look a little younger. How did you do that basically let me tell you something you don’t have to Train diet diet, I haven’t been in a gym.

It’s just diet. And I used to be junk food junkie hate everything cookies doughnuts mallomars soda. And I cut out all that. And I just, you know, I have a chicken soup a day and coffee I lost 30 pounds in four months? Well, you certainly look fantastic. And I think that’s advice that people people will definitely take now we’re here on behalf of Alan Goldberg’s bullion. We’re kicking it organization you talk a little bit about Martial arts and now it’s positively impacted your life. And kept you out of trouble. Well, I know if you kept me out of trouble. But I’ve been in the Martial arts I started boxing when I went to first grew up my father was professional boxer.

So, he told me how to box. I became an amateur fight. It was in the Golden Gloves four times in New York City and then of course after seeing Bruce Lee and the Green Hornet on TV. I wanted to be like Bruce. So I went to Aaron bank’s karate academy in New York City and started training in white crane and Tiger Claw kungfu on the master chin and then went on to issue karate Chiquita jiu-jitsu Committee Rudy Jitsu viernes Shih Tzu. And I trained with hands. Oh Gracie and Gracie Jiu Jitsu one hell of a background. Now, before now, before we let you go, we talked a couple years ago about McGregor Mayweather which you correctly predicted that fight went down.

I feel like the last couple of years boxing’s really made a comeback being on national TV, more often and then the big fight with fury and wilder Pacquiao Mayweather may fight again. What’s your outlook on boxing for 2019. Well, boxing, you know, there’s only a few few guys out there who are people who know across Mayweather and he’s semi-retired. He’s fighting again, he just went to Japan and beat that kickboxer who was a great. You know, he’s the best boxer out there in his time. It’s definitely changed from years ago, you know, he’s no more alleys and phrases and guys like that Tommy Hearns and Sugar Ray Leonard’s but you know, they think now is the UFC.

I mean a lot of people turn towards that, but Brock sees coming back. I mean, you have the triple G, who’s had and have fought Canelo and they’re fighting a third time. I think, but it’s picking up. I mean boxing went down a lot and that’s why a lot of people tune into the UFC and before we let you go, where can fans find you online and what have you got going on for this year. I’ve got three movies coming out this summer one called long amongst men I’m doing two TV series right now one called paper Empire in Miami I’m working with Mike Tyson in LA called the Tyson Ranch and just I’m sorry starting erupt is that Tyson Ranch the marijuana Ranch he’s working on.

Absolutely. Absolutely has owned my marijuana Ranch now and Mike’s awesome guy know Mike over 30 years he’s and he’s an awesome guy and but they do a TV series on him and I’m involved in it. So I play his bodyguard because I was his bodyguard in real life, you know, to some events and I walked him in a ring a few times and we’d be we would be closed for a long long time I was at the Tyson brawl with Lennox Lewis you saw me when I was in a club when I was angel you saw my back patch getting in the mix of the fray.

And so me might go back a long time, you know, and now he’s got his own marijuana Ranch. Yeah, you guys have had one hell of a life. Thank you so much Chuck Zito, thank you so much.
