When and why did you start training to be a Slap Fighter? I was given the opportunity to participate in Season 3 of Power Slap: Road to the Title, and I seized it. Back in high school, my wrestling coach would slap me in the face before matches to pump me up, which helped me win in seconds. I always received a slap before competition. I even have a video on YouTube where I get slapped right before I successfully bench 435 pounds. I recently started training to become a slap fighter during Season 3, and I’ve learned a lot that I now apply to my everyday life.

What does fighting in Power Slap mean for you and your career? It means everything to me. This platform allows me to showcase my skills and personality while promoting my successful bodyguard business in Atlanta. I’ve built a client base of over 30 NFL clients and have invested ten years into my bodyguard work. My business is the top choice in the South for NFL clients.

What are your ultimate goals in fighting? My goals are not only to climb the rankings but also to perfect my craft and eventually become the Power Slap Heavyweight Champion. I would love to bring that belt to Atlanta, where I can serve as a great ambassador for the sport. Atlanta is like Black Hollywood, with many rappers and celebrities calling it home. Introducing Power Slap into that space would be phenomenal, and the support I would receive from the Atlanta community could bring substantial viewership to the sport.

What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done? In football, I once hit someone so hard that the screws came loose from their helmet, sending them to the hospital. That’s why they call me “Boom!”

What’s the best thing you’ve ever done? I’m proud of benching 475 pounds in college. Additionally, I’ve provided bodyguard services for Gervonta “Tank” Davis and did background acting for the TV show *The Game*.

Is there anyone you’d like to slap fight against? I’d love to face Bronson Steiner, aka Bron Breakker from WWE, or Randy Orton.

Occupation/past occupation(s): I’m a bodyguard for athletes, including those in the NFL, NBA, and boxing. I also worked as a welder for four years.
