Tanner told Fox News Numbers, recalling his thoughts, I watched the guy walk out of the unit and blood oozed out of his neck. He fell to the floor and died. ”

"'This is my new environment. I want to survive. I won't die here. I won't be him.'"

While trying to make money for his family, he was arrested and imprisoned after being jailed during a drug trafficking operation.

"I started out as a robbery. So when I saw that it was a policeman, I was really peaceful."

He had sentenced two lives to end his boxing career and separated him from his family, including his son who was only 2 years old at the time, for 16 years. He devoted his time to prison to embrace Christianity and accept all available rehabilitation programs.

Tanner remembers one night in 2018 when he realized that President Donald Trump would end his sentence as soon as possible.

Biden's leniency announcement received a different comment on Capitol Hill: "Where is the bar?"

"I had a dream and I woke up," Tanner said. "After dreaming, I started writing a letter to the White House every week, and two years later, I was let go."

Tanner was awarded leniency by Trump in 2020 after former President Barack Obama was stripped of former President Barack Obama in 2016. Tanner visited the White House and personally thanked Trump.

Tanner said: “I have to thank him, he remembered my case.

In August, Tanner published a book, “Duke’s Life: The Boxer’s Fight for Freedom, Redemption,” detailing his story.

Weeks after Tanner received his presidential pardon, Trump proposed the idea of ​​giving the president a pardon to hip-hop artist Sean Diddy, who is on trial for sex trafficking.

Tanner admitted he did not pay close attention to the "Didi" case and did not "freely" discuss the rapper's allegations, revealing his feelings about the idea that the comb was granted pardon from Trump.

"This administration will read every paperwork. They will achieve the facts. They will fall into the bottom of everything. If he decides to take this move, it will be a positive move because he has gone through the system."

“He knew what they did to him, trying to make him a convicted felon, and put him in all these charges.

Tanner also suggested that Trump's pardon was a means of keeping people involved in the criminal justice system accountable.

Tanner added: “He is trying to show them, ‘All the work you guys do is right or I’ll come and fix it for you and embarrass you.”

That being said, if he decided to do so, he obviously saw something and he got the best lawyer around him. …I didn’t even speak freely (Didi’s Trial). I don't know what's going on. I just said I don't care who that is. If the president says he wants to do this, that's my reason, and that's a good reason.

Tanner said he knew many other incarcerated people and he believed that leniency should be taken.

"I absolutely know that there are a lot of men and women who need leniency to get out of the system," Tanner said.

Tanner has seen another president deliver a series of controversial pardons last year. Former President Joe Biden awarded a series of pardons before leaving office in December, including his son Hunter Biden, who was originally scheduled to be sentenced for federal gun and tax convictions.

"I heard of it. He released his son." "It can never be compared to myself because he was never in jail. He was never even prosecuted. I did it for 16 years, six months and 21 days, and took my 2-year-old son. ... He can never be compared to the pain I experienced. Then I went home and fought for others.

"What did (the Hunter) do? Have we even heard from him since he got pardoned? Has he even talked about it?

Still, Tanner said he was not offended by Hunter Biden's pardon.

Trump's Justice Department is reviewing the list of people granted pardons by former President Joe Biden in response to new concerns about Biden's use of automatic opening to automatically sign documents and worry about his mentality in the last months of his office in the office.

Tanner declined to comment on the investigation.

The former boxer focused on continuing to provide community service and helped his 19-year-old nephew become a future world champion in boxing.
