Undefeated lightweight boxing sensation Frank “The Ghost” Martin (15-0-11KOs) sent shock waves throughout boxing in January 2022 with a highlight knockout victory against Romero Duno — making him a fight-to-watch of 2022 in a division that includes recognizable boxing superstars Gervonta Davis, Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia.

The Ghost is the latest boxing star in Derrick James’s stable, already home to two undisputed champions in Errol Spence Jr and Jermell Charlo. Ahead of his upcoming fight this Saturday (July 9) in San Antonio, the 27-year-old southpaw spoke with The Source’s Bryson “Boom” Paul about a variety of topics, including training with Errol Spence Jr, the pros and cons of knockouts, mental health, rankings, if he is the “scariest” fighter in the lightweight division and so much more. Watch the full interview above.

Martin is scheduled to fight Jackson Martinez on the Magsayo vs Vargas undercard at the Alamode in San Antonio, Texas, and airing on Showtime Championship Boxing-Premier Boxing Champions. Martin was originally slated to fight Ricardo Nunez before the last-minute replacement in Martinez. Martin vs. Martinez will open this weekend’s Showtime/PBC event.

Martinez is coming off a loss and marks Martin’s third TV appearance. “I’m looking to establish myself and this will be the third time on TV and I think people are getting to know who I am,” Martin told Ring Magazine. “I wanted to fight when I was young, but my mom (Erica) wouldn’t let me, so I played football and wrestled. When I first told my mom I wanted to box, I was 11 or 12 and she wasn’t for it. There was no pestering my mom about it, but I was always fighting as a kid outside of boxing. My mom wanted me to do something else, because I was at that age when I was fighting in the streets.”

Lions are on the hunt for the most prestigious title in Boxing Saturday night.

Heading into his undisputed rematch with Brian Castaño (17-0-2), unified Junior Welterweight Champion Jermell Charlo (34-1-1) talks to The Source’s Bryson “Boom” Paul about preparing for his upcoming rematch, discussions with his twin brother, and fellow champion Jermall Charlo, future outside of boxing, the best advice he’s received from manager Al Haymon, and, of course, Houston hip hop. You may watch the full interview right below.

Charlo and Castaño fought to a draw last July. Remember the night, Charlo credits the draw to multiple reasons, ranging from lower back issues to giving away too many rounds to just simply not being his “best night.” He told Bad Left Hook’s Will Esco in May, “… I didn’t have my best night, I got a draw — I’m not worried about losing a 0 because I’ve already been down that road before, so right now it’s just stepping up into the ring to be the Jermell Charlo that I know I should be, and possess a different type of talent, be very talented, be very athletic and smart. With that alone, he can’t fuck with me.”

On what adjustments he’s made for the rematch, Charlo says in the same interview: “I feel like I’m gonna make some improvements just like he’s gonna make some improvements. I’m excited to be in there again, ready to do it again, ready to go, and I just know I want to get the fuckin’ knockout. I want to knock this motherfucker out ‘cause I’m 154 lb champion and I’ve been 154 lb champion, and I’ve been knocking motherfuckers out. Now I’m going back to that.”

Should Jermell win on Saturday night, he will be crowned the undisputed Junior Welterweight champion as holder of all four belts (WBC, WBO, WBA, IBF) within the division. On the other hand, Castaño has the opportunity to strip Charlo of all three titles, the WBC, IBF, WBA, currently in his possession on Saturday night. It all goes down Saturday night.

Watch Charlo vs. Castaño 2 Saturday night (May 13) on Showtime starting at 9PM ET/6PM PT.

Flo Milli Serves Several Looks In Her New ‘PBC’ Video

by

In her latest video, “PBC,” rapper Flo Milli channels her inner supermodel, rocking various fashions and delivering confident walks on floating runways. Directed by Amber Park, “PBC,” which stands for “pretty, Black, cute,” is a next-level visual, showcasing Milli’s ability to deliver fire bars while looking spectacular in a variety of clothes.

Some of her looks include a black and white one-piece garment with long leather gloves and matching pumps, a red pearl snap shirt with matching pants and a long wig, and a cut green leather suit with a tight hood encasing her head.

In a recent interview with NME, Milli admitted that her 2020 debut mixtape, Ho, Why Is You Here? didn’t showcase the best of her ability. She revealed that her upcoming debut album will give listeners “100 percent.”

“I’m always shooting for bigger,” Milli said, “so if I had a goal then, it’s bigger now. I try not to focus on the stuff I have already done because I am always trying to reinvent myself, and once I’m done with something, I move on to the next because I can’t be married to something. I have to keep coming up with new stuff”.

Check out “PBC” above.

Flo Milli’s debut album is out later this spring via RCA.

Flo Milli Releases New Single "PBC (Pretty Black Cute)"

Flo Milli, Alabama’s very own princess of rap, releases her new single “PBC” (Pretty Black Cute) to close out Black History Month. The song, like Flo’s earlier songs, is about self-confidence and black female empowerment.

On February 10th, Flo Milli debuted the YoungFyre-produced track while walking the runway at Tia Adeola’s NYFW show.

The artwork for the accompanying track is inspired by legendary black periodicals that have been popular for decades.

Flo Milli Makes It Clear That Her Beauty Isn’t Up For Debate On ‘PBC’

This summer will mark two years since Flo Milli made her splash in the rap world with her debut project Ho, Why Is You Here? The 12-song effort came with no features and saw the Alabama rapper shine brightly thanks to her infectious attitude and her impressive lyricism. We’ve yet to receive a follow-up project from Flo Milli, but she has continued to impress with singles and guest features. Today marks an example of the former as she returns with her new song “PBC.”

Flo Milli’s new record, which stands as an abbreviation for “Pretty Black Cute,” finds setting the record straight on her beauty. She makes it clear that there are no asterisks or footnotes to her looks and everything should be taken as is. “Pretty for what? / Pretty for who?” she raps. “I’m really like that / Who are you?” The song was initially previewed during Tia Adeola’s fashion show during this month’s New York Fashion Week. According to OkayPlayer, Flo Milli said the song is about “Black women finding their power, wearing their natural hair, everything that makes you pretty, Black and cute.”

The new song comes after Flo Milli and Rico Nasty joined forces for “Money” last year. During 2021, she also dropped solo singles like “Roaring 20s” and “Ice Baby” during a year that also saw her get selected to the 2021 XXL Freshman Class.

You can listen to “PBC” and enjoy a skit from Flo Milli that strikes as a hilarious flip of a viral clip from America’s Next Top Model in the videos above.
