Quote

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Boxing is my true calling. I've found my purpose in life.

Boxing will always be in my life.

Everything in our family was always boxing. It was the life my father chose for me.

When I was a little kid I wanted to be an artist or a painter. But once I got into boxing, all I wanted was to box.

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