Boxing gave me the opportunities to grow into the person that I am today.

Boxing is one of those leftovers from a more primitive past that should be finished off and killed. I don't love it anymore.

Boxing is a sport, but it's also entertainment. I wanted to transcend the sport and be considered just not as a fighter, or a champion, but someone very special.

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.

Without boxing, I can't live. I love boxing.

Boxing was just another one to keep me going as a child.

Boxing gave me a path in life. Because of boxing, I learned what I'm capable of achieving if I put my mind to it and how hard work can and will pay off in the end. It gave me confidence and taught me to face fear straight on and dig down deep when times get tough.

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.

I've always loved boxing. It's something I've always been extremely excited about.
