WATCH: Absolutely mental boxer interview means you’ll never forget the name “Cam Awesome”

We hope the medical checks at the Pan Am Games are up to scratch.

Because either Cam Awesome (real name Lenroy Thompson) is concussed or he is the biggest character that has ever stepped into a boxing ring. The heavyweight had just lost to Cuba’s Lenier Pero in the semi-final of the tournament when he delivered a post-fight interview for the ages. Not only does he suggest that he just might be "the Taylor Swift of boxing" but he goes on to drop the sound bite "freedom beats communism" before he confirmed that he does, in fact, "do sit-ups." It's genius and we know how to deal with trolls from now on... "We're not saying we're the Taylor Swift of sports writing but we're also not saying that we're not the Taylor Swift of sports writing." https://youtu.be/o8RbDgjJ0BA H/t to Mashable
