Take one.
Pop it!
Pop it, there you go. [claps]
What's up, GQ?
This is Errol Spence Jr.,
the IBF welterweight champion of the world.
And these are my 10 essentials.
[warm hip hop music]
- Cheese!
Errol Spence!
- The first essential to me,
the most important essential to me is my daughters.
This is Ivy, she's the oldest.
She's three years old.
[banging]
And wandering around here somewhere--
C'mere, Violet!
You wanna get on TV?
There you go.
My two daughters.
The most important thing to me is family.
Can't survive without 'em,
I need 'em, they're my motivation,
they're the reason why I grind,
the reason why I box.
[babytalk]
Oh, you need your glasses?
Here, you wanna put 'em on?
You look cool, girl.
Everything I do, I do for these two.
[smooching]
[rhythmic hip hop music]
All right, next up, my number two thing
that I always carry with me, my essential, is my watch.
And, you know, Skeleton Face,
and I also, got some more here.
This one's really my dream watch.
I always have a watch on me at all times.
- [Producer] You a big watch guy?
- Yeah, a little bit.
I like, I think you're supposed to have a watch,
especially when you dress up,
when you goin' places and things like that.
So, my next watch is gonna be a Richard Mille.
You know, it's kinda like Jordans or something,
it's like, every year a new watch come out
and you like, you see everybody wearin' it,
and you like, man, I watch that watch too,
that watch nice, so, you know,
a Richard Mille costs like $200, $300,000,
so, but that's the watch that I want.
I gotta take care of business, September 28th,
with Shawn Porter, after that, I can go cop a new watch.
[funky rhythmic music]
Next up, we got the candy I always have.
This candy is really, is vegan.
It's kosher, I can eat it all through camp.
I eat outside of camp.
And it's just a candy that I travel with all the time,
I eat even doing training camp,
it can be a day before the fight
and I'm eating the candy.
These right here, man, these.
For me, this is like the best candy on the market
'cause it don't give me a tummy ache
and it's plant-based too.
It's plant-based, it's kosher, it's high in fiber,
so, I mean, my coach see me eatin' it
and he can't really say nothing
'cause I mean, it's good for me,
so, you know, this is the type of candy I eat all the time,
even after dinner, before dinner.
Sometimes even after breakfast, so,
Smart Sweets.
[rhythmic hip hop music]
My next essential is my sponge.
Thanks.
This sponge, I gotta take it everywhere.
You know, I just put it in my pocket,
I have one in my car.
Got like 40, there, one at home.
You know, it's for my hair, it's gonna get--
I don't have a regular afro,
this is a drop fade, for people who don't know.
It's the hairstyle that's in style
and you basically twist your hair up.
So I keep these everywhere, you know,
like, a woman keep a comb in they purse,
I keep this in my car, at home,
in my pocket, you know,
everywhere I go, I keep one of these.
I probably got one in the locker room in the gym, too.
For groomin', sponging is essential.
[whistles]
[rhythmic electronic music]
My next essential is actually on my feet.
My custom Crocs, they're actually, you know,
I have a lot to do with my amateur career.
Man Down, I have my kids on 'em,
strap season, my motto,
and my fight record on there, '90s baby, also Texas.
And, you know, basically,
these are my shoes of choice.
I wear 'em at the airport,
I wear 'em when I'm going to the gym.
When I'm going to a training session, these are probably,
I'm wearing these before I go to the training session,
so, if I'm not going anywhere that I need to dress up
or if I'm not going anywhere that, you know,
I need to wear pants or, you know, a dress-up shirt,
I'm probably gonna wear Crocs.
So, if Crocs see that, holla at me,
get an endorsement, maybe get something going.
But these are my custom Crocs.
- [Producer] What do you have to say to people
who say that Crocs are not fashionable?
- I think the person makes fashion.
You know, a lot of people say a lot of things
aren't fashion 'til somebody start wearin' 'em
and then next thing you do, you got five,
10 other people wearing 'em.
So, Russell Westbrook, when he dresses weird in the NBA,
everybody's sayin' that's not fashionable, I mean,
you gotta do what Dwayne Wade doing,
then you got James Harden doing it
and nobody everybody dressin' like Russell Westbrook.
So, I mean, that's unfashionable until somebody does it
and then it becomes a new trendsetter, so,
I'm gonna be the trendsetter,
I'm gonna be the guy that's gonna rock the Crocs
and have everybody else rock the Crocs.
[funky rhythmic music]
As you guys have seen, I'm always on the go,
so I always keep a portable charger with me.
I have three phones, so it's easy to charge.
I mean, it holds battery in, you know,
especially when I'm in a airport or runnin' around,
I'm always out of town and I don't have a lot of plugs,
so this is what I carry with me
to keep all three of my phones charged up the whole day.
And I love they're stayin' in there.
So, I always gotta keep this wherever I go.
[rhythmic hip hop music]
My next top essential is my mouthpiece.
I always keep my mouthpiece on me
just because I like to travel.
And a lot of times I travel to like Vegas and California,
and I try to get in some fights,
and I'm always lookin' to spar with somebody.
And actually, the last time I went to Las Vegas,
I had my mouthpiece, and I was gonna spar a heavyweight,
and he was like 15 and oh,
and I'm out trying to spar with him,
but he didn't wanna spar,
so I always keep my mouthpiece on me
'cause there's always somebody talkin' noise
over the internet or boxers talkin' noise
on my comments on Instagram and Twitter.
And I keep it on me just in case I run into 'em
and I ask 'em, do they wanna spar.
I got a bunch of custom ones,
I got probably about 15 mouthpieces.
- [Producer] What does this one say?
- Oh, this one say the truth on it.
- [Producer] Why truth?
- Oh, I got the truth because that's my nickname.
I'm the Truth, and basically,
I got named that as an amateur
and I've been runnin' with it ever since.
[smooth hip hop music]
This cologne right here,
this top of the line cologne right here,
this is Maison Francis Kurkdjian pears.
And this is, I think,
every man should have cologne,
especially, you know, on them,
because, for one, women love cologne.
[laughs]
And, you know, basically, you wanna smell good,
so I think every man should have cologne.
I always have top cologne,
I always have cologne with me.
I am a collector of cologne, I love cologne,
and, you know, it just make you smell good.
When you smell good, you feel good.
So, this my top cologne right here.
- [Producer] What's your application technique?
Is it the wrists and the neck?
Or do you spray?
[laughing]
- Oh, it just depend.
Sometimes, I might spray it on my hand
and just do like this.
Or I'm always sprayin' my neck,
I'm always sprayin' my neck.
But usually, I hit it on my hand and I just.
[laughs]
I rub it all over my body,
so, you know, it's a little bit, you know,
a lot of people don't do that,
but I do it, I mean, it works, so,
you know, I do whatever works.
[bass-heavy hip hop music]
This is my Mophie, this is my little phone.
And a lot of people don't have this number.
And, you know, if you had this number,
you may be important and, you know, I keep this phone on me.
A lot of people don't know about this phone,
so this is gonna get out.
So, yeah, this is my third phone,
it's my Mophie, keep it on me.
It's my personal, personal phone,
and you know, I feel like, you know,
it's best kept secret right here.
Well, it was a best kept secret
'til I put it out here, so,
now it's out.
- [Producer] So when this phone rings,
do you need to answer it because you know it's important?
- Oh, definitely, definitely.
When this phone ring, I need to answer the phone
because it's something important,
it's something probably gotta do with my--
[rhythmic hip hop music]
'Kay, this is my passport.
Well, the main reason I keep this passport on me
because, and hold on--
[record scratch]
This not even my passport, bro.
It's not my passport.
This passport feel too new.
[laughs] Like, hold up.
Huh?
Can I just act like it's my passport?
[rewinding]
This is my passport.
I keep my passport on me 'cause I can never keep it
with my driver's license,
so I keep this on me at all times.
Haven't had a driver's license in two years.
So I always keep my passport on me
'cause I don't lose it,
'cause I like to travel.
I travel a lot, especially when I'm not in camp,
and you know, that's basically it.
- [Producer] Where's the last place you went?
- The last place I went was Jamaica,
and that's where my dad's from,
so we actually got land out there and things,
so I went out there for a pre-training camp,
and they actually train out there
in the countryside with my dad.
[warm electronic music]
The next essential of choice is my headphones.
I need these headphones.
I love listenin' to music,
and even if I'm not listenin' to music,
I have 'em in my ears so people won't talk to me.
You know, especially when I'm at the gym
or I'm out somewhere and I just put 'em in my ears,
so, you know, people won't walk up and just,
you know, talk to me and things like that.
Especially when I'm not, like I'm feelin' violent,
especially like right now, I'm in training camp,
I'm losing weight and I'm tired, and, you know,
I walk into Walmart and, you know,
people wanna walk up to me and talk to me,
but sometime they see my earbuds in
and they're kinda deterred off of walkin' up to me,
so, you know, I love these things out of habit,
I got 10 pair of these, I always lose 'em.
I need to put a tracking device on 'em.
[laughs] But, you know, I love these headphones.
- [Producer] Do you have an iPhone?
- Oh yeah, definitely.
- [Producer] You can do Find My iPhone for your AirPods.
- Oh yeah, you can?
- [Producer] I think so, I'm pretty sure.
- I didn't know that, you can do that?
For real?
Aw, man, I got about 10 AirPods around my, around my spot.
- [Producer] What's on your playlist right now?
What are you listening to?
- Oh, what's on my playlist right now?
Gee, Yella Beezy.
I listen to a lot of Yella Beezy,
he asked me to Dallas,
and he actually walked me out twice,
two fights in a row,
my last two fights.
I'm listening to a lot of Lil' Ronny, mother,
can I can motha[bleep]?
- [Producer] Yeah, you can.
- Oh, well, Lil' Ronny Motha[bleep].
He asked me for Dallas too.
And I'm gonna listen to a lot of Yo Gotti and Jay-Z,
Kanye West, it's just dependent on
what type of mood I am in.
But I mean, if I'm in a training mood,
I'm gonna listen to Meek Mills and people like that.
[upbeat hip hop music]
That is it, guys,
thank you for watchin' my 10 essentials.
Catch me September 28th on my next fight.
- Bye! - Bye!
[laughs]
