Interview Conducted by Dominic Welles
DW: 8 months ago some boxing pundits were calling you a club fighter with no chance of becoming anything but a journeyman in the ring….were you offended?
JT: No, writers are going to write whatever they feel like writing…My job is to fight.
DW: Your record is 7-0-1 with 7 knockouts…would you be getting more press if you were an American fighting out of Chicago. After all, Canada isn’t the boxing capitol of the world!
JT: I don’t have any control over that stuff..I’m Canadian…do you want to see my birth certificate?
DW: Can I take a rain check? I hear rumors that you want to win a world title and then leave boxing….Is that true?
JT: I love boxing but I don’t want to lie to myself…If I can’t win a world title, I won’t hang round and pretend!
DW: Why didn’t you turn pro immediately after a winning amateur career?
JT: Politics and betrayal!…enough said.
DW: You called out highly touted Adam Trupish and he responded with some vicious expletives…will you guys square off and settle the question of who is the best light middleweight in Canada?
JT: I have already said yes. Our PR guy tells me Fan Base Promotions gets emails every day asking… when?..I’m not convinced Adam wants to fight me…maybe he will do for Canada. and the many boxing fans we have!
DW: What if I told you that there is a circulating rumor that Trotter VS Trupish will happen on Friday 13th in January 2012 at Desperado’s Night Club in Calgary ..what would your reaction be?
JT: I don’t pay attention to rumors..show me a signed contract; then I’ll react!
