Anthony sits on a stage as a bunch of eyes are on him during a sit down interview. Ever since he won two weeks ago he's been up and down for media obligations. When he lost he was able to say no, now it's back to the way it was.

There's pros and cons to winning. When he lost he didn't have the pressure of certain things. Once again the millions of questions about the undisputed fight, Deontay Wilder, and Tyson Fury are all topics in his interviews again.

He can't lie, he's a burnt out and needs rest.

Between all his business responsibilities he also had to go to Texas for Tylon's funeral last week. That in itself was draining. Mourning the life of a 17 year old who was senselessly killed. He went from the high of winning to back on a low.

The funeral was paid entirely by the Mobisson family and Anthony. It was no problem because they have the money, but it was sad in the grand scheme of things.

His foster family couldn't afford it even if they wanted to. After Tylon's death social workers looked into his foster family realizing they were very neglectful. All their foster children were taken, which meant their source of income was gone.

The state wasn't going to pay for his funeral either. They said it's not their duty and they would then send any fees to his birth parents... As if Tylon's mother isn't dead or his father isn't in prison. It's a fucked up system.

That's when they stepped in paying for everything from the casket, the headstone, the service, embalming fluid, flowers, you name it.

Tylon didn't have any blood relatives at his funeral. His so-called Foster parents didn't show up either because they were afraid of judgmental stares. The stares would be rightfully deserved because in life they didn't actually love and care for him.

Even though Tylon didn't have any blood family at his funeral it didn't matter. Good or bad Tylon made an impact with his outgoing personality and his jokes. Which when you look at it, him joking caused his death because someone's ego couldn't take it.
