Quote

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

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 want to be remembered as a great athlete. As a boxing champion.

Everything I have in this world, I owe to the sport of boxing, and I won't ever forget that.

I started boxing because of my brother. And then I came to admire the all-time greats, like Roberto Duran and Muhammad Ali. I'd say I admired Ali more than any fighter in my life.

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 would like to be remembered as a boxer who tried to do his best.

My goal in boxing is to be the best.

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

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