AN INTERVIEW WITH THE CHAMP. 

Peter "The Barberian" Potter

JJ: So champ you just had the best win of your young career what's next ?

Potter: You're right JJ, beating Dum was my biggest success so far.

I'm the new 170 lbs division champion and I feel so proud.

It was always my dream.

What's next? I guess I should ask you that question!

I'm waiting for my first title defence.

People say that winning the belt is hard but defending it is even harder.

They might be right.

Now I'll be fighting the best of the best. I guess the winner of  Jerry Johnson vs Jake Belcher will be next in the line.

But it isn't my call.  I believe I can beat everyone in  division right now.                                                                                  

I'm waiting for an offer.

JJ: You have not renewed with IFC yet  are you going to stay with IFC?

Potter: I believe I will. I feel great here, especially now when I am the champion. My manager suggested me not to renew the contract too early.

He believes that if I'll be able to win next fights I shall get a really lucrative offer.

It's nothing personal JJ. It's just business.

My current contract isn't ending soon. I've got couple more fight and I think we can talk about renewing after my next fight.

Right Now I'm focusing on my first title defence.

JJ: Unlike a lot of other guys on the island you did not take one qfc fight all 5 of your wins are in the IFC.in reason why you chose not to do a QFC fight ?

Potter: It was also my manager decision. He suggested me to start fighting in the IFC without any QFC fight.

I wasn't sure if that's a good call but I trust my manager. Now I know he was right.

JJ: Don't get me wrong i am happy you started out with the org but you did not even do a test fight .

Potter: Honestly I doubt if QFC verifies skills. You have no idea who you gonna fight in QFC, so there's no way to prepare.

It means the luck is main factor. I faced guys who were successful in QFC and I was a true verification of their skills...

JJ: When i say the name Heimdal The Destroyer what is the first thing you think of champ?

Potter: This dude is scary! The first thing that was on my mind when I heard I'll be fighting him was "Oh my God!".

He was 5-0 before fighting me. He won most of his fights by KO/TKO in the first round and his name...

Heimdal The Destroyer.

JJ: Do you see a rematch with Tweedle Dum at some point?

Potter: We'll definitely meet once again. Dum is a tough guy. He beat the previous champion with an ease.

He gave me a hard fight and he left some damage on my handsome face.

He's the top of the division for sure.

JJ: One last thing champ i know you are a busy man what's your thoughts on 185 lbs and the champion 185 Rick James ?

Potter: Rick James is top class athlete. He's 8-0 right now. James destroys every opponent on his way.

None of his fights was ended by decision. Rick has heavy hands and perfect clinch game.

I see a lot of similarity between me and him. I am a bit taller and a way more handsome but the rest is virtually identical.

J.J: Is that fight in your future ? or is that something you would be willing to look at?

Potter: I know that fans love the super fights. I'm willing to take such a challenge. I'm #2 P4P in whole Island right now.

I would fight both 185 lbs and 155 lbs. But I believe such matches make sense when divisions are cleared by champions.

I'm not sure if other champions have cleared their divisions, I know my still need cleaning.

JJ:Thanks for your time champ

Potter: Thanks JJ. Hope we'll meet once again after my first title defence.

And there you have it a interview  with the champ.
