My mother and father didn't love each other, so they were always fighting.

I had a family that supported me.

One of the things I would have loved to have had was a family that worked better together, although I love my mother and father to bits.

When I was a kid, I had to fight for everything.

My family and I had to overcome a lot to get where we are today.

I'd say my mother made more of a difference to me than anyone else did. I know that's a conventional and perhaps mundane answer, but my family was blown apart at the start of World War II.

Well, I've had to deal with everything in my life... leavin' the family, learnin' what not and what to do.

In hindsight, I see the great value of family and how it moulded my life and kept me together. So now family means everything to me.

I had personal problems. I was spending 50% of my life on my family, 50% on boxing. Neither was getting anywhere. It was killing me. So I had to break away from fighting.

I loved my mother and father.
