How did it happen that you started to compete in Poland and what do you think of Poland?

I am a youth football coach and this year’s date makes it possible to come to Poland, I love Poland!!

Is Nemiroff World Cup a tournament comparable to the Golden Bear, or is it better and what does the start at Nemiroff World Cup mean for you?

No doubt the Zloty is the most prestigious event in the world, I’m excited and very happy to be invited!

Do you prefer to compete in regular tournaments, or in the Armfight system (multi-round)? 
I enjoy both styles as an armwrestler, but as a promoter I lean towards main draw events!

 How do you perceive the sports level of European competitors today?

I am not blown away by the competition in Europe, as a North American Super Heavyweight I compete at a very high level all the time!!

Why haven’t we seen you in Europe since few years?

Cause my Youth football coaching season conflicts with this event! I teach a crossfit kids class year "www.crossfit.com" around along with coaching an elite American youth football team from August till December!! My involvement is what kept me from participating in Zolty for a number of years! (Crossfit - Forging Elite Fitness. CrossFit is a core strength and conditioning program. We have designed our program to elicit as broad adaptation response as possible. The CrossFit Program was developed to enhance an individual's competency at all physical tasks.

Our athletes are trained to perform successfully at multiple, diverse, and randomized physical challenges. )

Do you remember fighting with Alexey Semerenko? What has happened there?

The match with Semerenko was very dark and regretful day in my life, I had very bad manners, and hope never to be in such a situation again!

It is often heard that you have won many things in your life. Is this true? What is the most expensive prize you won? Can you sum up a little all of your awards?

I won a few Harley Davidson's, a few $10,000 prizes, and a couple extended armwrestling contracts, armwrestling has been very good to me!

Do you intend to fight with Denis Cyplenkov and how would you rate this competitor?

Dennis is the big reason to come to Poland, and I’ll fight with LEFT hand to prove once and for all that I am the best!!! I think it will be the hardest fight of my life, and I am very prepared!

Do you drink alcohol? What kind of? 
I drink very little, mostly Budwieser (or BUDDEISEL as I like to call it)

Where do you work and what you do every day? 
I work for Crossfit, and I train all day everyday!!!

What car do you drive? Do you have a motorcycle? 
No Motorcycle, I pimp a BMW 850

Are you a recognized person in the United States? 
Because of American TV, I do get recognized as a professional armwrestler all the time!

Do you have children? If so, do they wrestle like you? 
My kids are Tyson 11, Ezra 6, and Diem 3, all are armwrestlers and very good athletes

Have you ever thought of ending your career?

I really don't think of it as a career, I will armwrestle forever, it is a part of me!!!

At what tournaments will we be able to see you in 2011?
2011 I will be competing only with the NAL Nov 19th and for sure Nemiroff 2011 in Warsaw!
