One on One with the UCA Heavyweight Champion Mike Frazier – Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department
It has been said once you become a champion you become a better fighter. Do you feel you are a better fighter physically or mentally now that you are a champion?
Despite not training and fighting for some time now, I still feel I am much better fighter. For several years, I trained with some of the best fighters in law enforcement and have one of the best coaches (Retired Sgt. Mike Young)
Do you feel that you have to workout & train even harder now that you are the champion and everyone is gunning for you?
This is a tough question. As it pertains to training, aside from spending time with my family and my demanding work schedule, I never had the opportunity to train as hard as I would like to. I usually train just enough to get the job done.
If you could call anyone out to test your skills against who would it be?
I would not call any fighters out, but if someone wanted a shot at beating the champ, it would be too hard to turn a fight down. Especially, if the fighter is an up and coming future or former UCA champ or on my department (LASD).
When will you be back in the ring?
That is only a question I could answer after I start training. Right now I am a bit rusty.
