The life of a boxer is about fighting for world titles.

It takes a certain type of man to become a boxer, to fight for a living. To be able to have the confidence to hit another man, to control your fears. You must overcome the psychical aspect and believe in the art, the discipline of the sport. You need to study. You need to be smart.

In order to understand the mindset of a boxer, I needed to become a boxer myself.

As a boxer, you have to put risk in to get to another level.

There's so much pressure on becoming the next Muhammad Ali or Mike Tyson, and if you don't achieve that in boxing, you're nothing.

I always feel like the freshest boxer going into competitions.

People love boxing, but you've gotta wait two or three years for your favorite boxer to have a fight.

My goal in boxing is to be the best.

Boxing's not a career for anyone: it doesn't last long enough to be a career.

When you're a boxer, there is a lot of downtime and long periods of inactivity.
