My coach is pushing me harder than ever to make sure I stay at a good level.

I never want to let my teammates or coaches down, so I always fight through the days when I am exhausted or experiencing discomfort with injuries and headaches.

I don't see myself being in the sport a very long period of time, so I want to fight as much as possible.

As long as I still feel a passion for the sport and preparing for these big competitions, I will carry on fighting.

After every fight, I knock myself down. I start from scratch again. I say, 'I'm not as good as I thought.' It makes you work harder. It makes you push harder. It's more than money. It's more than the title. It's my pride, and it can be scary thinking about it. I could lose. It's scary.

All my coaches tell me that I have been under achieving.

When I'm boxing, if my career isn't going well, at least I feel mentally and physically strong.

I focus on making sure I'm sharp, and it doesn't matter who I am fighting. I need to perform at my best and try to elevate my game to the highest level I possibly can, so that is what I concentrate on doing.

I'm just fighting a lot of high-level guys. I feel everyone is trying to be tactical, everyone is trying to put their A-game out there, and I have to find a way to win. I'm all about moving on and trying to get better.

You learn who you really are in a fight - what you're really made of. You have to face yourself and rise above your own fears and failings.
