\"\"<\/a>Exclusive Interview by Marc Anthony<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was beyond satisfying because my boxing career was held on by a string. If I would have lost that fight the string would have been cut. I had to win.\u201d \u2014 Tony Jeter<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Tony \u201cMo Better\u201d Jeter, 13-3, 9 KO\u2019s, was scheduled to fight Jimmy Lange but Jimmy suffered a training injury that has nixed the event. The fight may still happen since it\u2019s between two popular fighters in that area at a later date but, for now, Tony chats with RSR on his last win and what it meant for him and his upcoming plans. <\/p>\n

Tony is set to fight on June 23rd at USMC Base, Arlington, Virginia\u2026 We will keep RSR readers up to date on this upcoming Boxing Card.<\/p>\n

MA: Your last fight was a revenge match up against Jose Felix. How satisfying was that win?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was beyond satisfying because my boxing career was held on by a string. If I would have lost that fight, the string would have been cut. I had to win. I was happy that he was as prepared as he could have been\u2026he had plenty of time. I was getting the best Jose Felix that could have been. I was prepared. I knew I was going to win. It wasn\u2019t something where maybe I was going win\u2026I knew I was going to win. That\u2019s how prepared and motivated I was.<\/p>\n

MA: Some of your sparring partners that helped you prepare at Club One?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I sparred with George Armenta and Sherman Artis. We have so many people that train at the gym that it\u2019s like a who\u2019s who of the northern east coast area. The roster starting with Paul Williams\u2026he has been here for over a year now. Then Brandon Quarles, Dushane Crooks, Phillip Jackson, Sherman Artis, Nick Kisner: the list goes on and on and on.<\/p>\n

MA: Would you say it\u2019s a like a shark tank at Club One?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s beyond a shark tank and it\u2019s throughout the day, not just one time. You can go anytime of the day and Seth Mitchell stops by, Dominic Wade been in there\u2026it\u2019s a who\u2019s who of this area of fighters that come through the doors. It\u2019s a good thing and its very helpful preparing for a bout.<\/p>\n

MA: How do you feel about the fight being cancelled against Jimmy Lange?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Disappointed is an understatement. I was so motivated to have this fight and go out there and compete and win. I know boxing! I have been in boxing a long time and have been on both sides\u2026. I know things like this happen. Johnny Lange called me and it\u2019s a guarantee going forward so I am going hold him to it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a fight that this area needs. It\u2019s a good showdown. It will be a real fight. I am not some blown up lightweight. I am a full-fledged middleweight. Am I the greatest fighter? No\u2026 but I think we match up well and it will be a fight that the people who paid money will get their money\u2019s worth.<\/p>\n

MA: I wanted to see this one live, so I can\u2019t wait when it does go down.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know a lot of people are disappointed. I know a lot of people locally are disappointed. Taking nothing away from Jimmy Lange, like I told you every single time we have talked. I respect that guy. That being said, I was coming to kick the shit out of him. I respect him to the fullest. I like him, I like his style. I like everything about him but in this situation I can\u2019t go into a fight thinking I am not going to win: full optimistic about my chances and know that I put all the work in.<\/p>\n

I would have been ready for Jimmy Lange. They\u2019re saying when he gets better we are going do it and Jimmy wants to do it. So, that\u2019s cool. Jimmy is a standup guy and he wants to give the fans a good fight and I want to give the fans a good fight. Now we just have to wait for him to get better.<\/p>\n

MA: In the meantime, any fights?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am still going to fight on the same day at the USMC Base, Arlington, Virginia, that\u2019s where I had lost to Jose Felix, the place is phenomenal and I had a great time up until the \u201cL\u201d. So I am making a return there on June 23rd on a Richard Ashby card. I think Todd Wilson is going be on it, Brandon Quarles and myself. It\u2019s going be a good card.<\/p>\n
