Javon Wright holds the BKB Police Gazette welterweight championship, which will be defended in the co-main event of BKB 54’s Mayhem in Manchester offering on May 16th. Wright will clash with Dan Gittens in a bout that was cancelled in January. When speaking to the timeline piece of this fight finally coming to fruition after tensions have been mounting throughout the calendar year, Javon Wright said [viaBare Knuckle Bowker],

“Right. I’m looking forward to it too, my man. Like I said, dude been running his mouth a lot since January. So, I’m hoping he gonna back up all that little stuff he was talking come Saturday. Ending my career and all of this. So, let’s hope he can back it up.”

When asked if there was an uncharacteristic bit of bad blood heading into this Gittens clash, Javon Wright stated [viaBare Knuckle Bowker],

“Oh, yeah. I’mma smack the s**t out of him for real. Cuz like I say, you can run your mouth. He been crying like a little girl since since August for real. So he been crying about this title fight for a while and I said I unexpectedly got hurt a week before the fight. I had to unexpectedly pull out. Like I said, he been crying. He been crying to the promoters and everybody who had listened to him since then. So since he want to run his mouth, I’mma make sure he backs up everything he was saying come Saturday.”

When asked if he was feeling like his opponent for Saturday was doubting the legitimacy of his injury or something of that persuasion, Javon Wright quipped [viaBare Knuckle Bowker],

“Yeah, he definitely was. But like you said, I mean, people gonna run their mouth and talk. But I mean, I know I was injured and my camp know I was injured. So that’s all that really matters.”

The BKB kingpin believes what makes him a champion is being a good father. How winning a world title is one thing, but that it doesn’t mean anything if you can’t share it with your babies. As he espoused the pride he takes in being a fighting father, Javon Wright said [viaBare Knuckle Bowker],

“Yes, I definitely do because my daughters, they’re usually at the gym with me most of the time when I’m working out. Whenever they’re with me, they’re usually at the gym with me, watching me, or trying to do what I’m doing, working out, hitting the bag, and everything. I was actually talking to them like right before I got here and she was asking me questions like, “Who [are] you fighting? What’s his name?” She’s like, “Well, daddy, you better not lose.” All this [laughs]. So, I definitely got to do what I can not to lose so my daughters don’t talk stuff when I get back home.”

When it was mentioned how it sounds like his daughters have talked a little smack to dad if he’s taken an L and that a precedent is set for that, Javon Wright stated [viaBare Knuckle Bowker],

“Oh, yeah. Yeah, they are definitely gonna let me hear. They definitely gonna let me hear it. So, I mean, I got to do everything I can so I don’t hear it.”
