Boxing is the embodiment of who I am, but beyond that, this is a journey of the self, and my obsession to get the most from this short life.

I took up boxing as a fitness thing. I got obsessed, and I would go every day when I wasn't working. It's just an insane sport when you get into it.

Boxing is a buzz, but I went into it to make a living. I wasn't going to go into the ring and get punched in the head for the fun of it.

I love boxing and keep doing it because I love it.

I ran into a couple of guys who were boxers. They talked me into working out at their gym. I became obsessed with boxing and the idea of becoming a champion.

To my surprise, I discovered that I could act, and I liked it even better than boxing.

I don't want to sound obnoxious, but I like to think I brought it another step. I was able to bring people who were casually interested in boxing together.

Boxing has kept me off the streets, stops me smoking and drinking and gives me something to do.

Before, boxing was something that I did. Now, boxing is who I am.

When I was 17 or 18, I realised I could do something with boxing.
