Ray J has officially redeemed himself as an amateur boxer as he defeats Orlando Brown during fight night in Atlanta. After his redemptive bout, Ray told Hollywood Unlocked how “emotional” the experience was, he talked about walking out to the ring with his sister Brandy, and he called out professional boxer Jake Paul for his next fight.
On Saturday night (August 15), Ray beat Orlando by unanimous decision on the Zeus Network undercard of Claressa Shields vs. Kaye Scott at State Farm Arena. However, Ray experienced his first career loss a few months back after a defeat by Supah Hot Fire during Adin Ross’ MMA event on May 24.
While speaking about his redemptive win in the ring, Ray J said, “It was dope. I mean the dopest thing was that my kids was watching. We all having fun, but it’s always good to win.” When asked who his next fight is with, Ray said, “They said Jake Paul.”
When asked if he fully believes the fight will happen, he explained:
“I gotta go back to the drawing board. But, I think if I do train and I work hard, I think I can beat him. I think I can f**k him up really bad. But, I just gotta figure out how much time do we have. But, we’ll see.”
Ray J Talks Walking Out To Boxing Ring With Brandy And His ‘Emotional’ Defeat Over Orlando Brown
Ray J also spoke on atmosphere at State Farm Arena and watching boxing legends and champions pull up. The evening saw Floyd Mayweather Jr., Terence Crawford, Shane Mosley, Shakur Stevenson, Richardson Hitchins, and more. Ray J said:
“Everybody showed me love and at least said, ‘What’s up.’ I mean, they’re on another caliber, training wise and skill wise, but for them to just see me in there trying, and then actually getting to win, was emotional. And then I talked to my son and daughter and they were just in tears. And that’s what really did it for me. So, now, I’m not even hanging out tonight. I’m about to go just chill, take a bath, and watch TV.”
We also asked Ray J how it felt walking out into the arena with his sister Brandy. He smiled and shared:
“Man, it was so emotional. Well, the fact that I won? Man, nothing can beat that. My mom was watching. I mean, we didn’t win the Super Bowl, but we won something like that. It was something emotional about that, even just for people that was rooting for me. So, I’m excited, man. Thank you.”
