Pearl Boxing Club takes over the studio

Two undefeated heavyweight pros from Pearl Boxing Club — Keyshawn “Big Baby” Davis (11-0, 11 KOs, going for 12-0) and firefighter Paul John Hogan (3-0, going for 4-0) — plus assistant coach Ernie Hillard and his 8-year-old son Buddy join Clay live.

 

They promote their fights this Saturday (Nov 29, 2025) on a card in Lafayette, Louisiana, talk training camps, and give their takes on the current boxing landscape (love the massive Saudi-backed fights, mixed feelings on Jake Paul spectacle fights, but agree the huge undercards on Netflix are growing the sport).

 

Clay and the coaches emphasize the real mission of Pearl Boxing Club: $50/month (sign-up fee covers first three months), open to kids 7+, teens, adults, and fitness-only members who never want to spar. Multiple stories of kids gaining confidence, getting off ADHD meds, improving grades, and parents seeing dramatic behavioral turnarounds. Clay floats the idea of listener-sponsored “scholarships” to cover dues for kids whose families can’t afford it — coaches immediately say they’ll never turn anyone away and are happy to work something out.
