But my promoter Frank Warren knows what he is doing, and has been through this cycle many times with other fighters.

I think everything I've tried to do, whether or not it's come off that way immediately, is for the greater good. I'll take the jabs I need to in order to help us all in the long run.

Dad couldn't train me. He was too high-strung, like, 'Throw your jab!' and I'd start crying.

I talked to Grant Hill, and I told him, 'I played against you a lot, and now, hopefully, I'm getting to coach a player like you. Jabari has the opportunity to be a special player in this league. But it's not handed to you. He's going to work, and our jobs are to make him better each day.'

After Richmond, we went to Dover and tested that week at Kentucky. I was going to Dover and we had to get the trainer to meet us at the airport. I had to do some therapy on my ribs they hurt so bad.

My career got sidetracked after fighting Holmes.

They didn't train me to be in the ring for five and a half hours punching air. So, it was hard, I had to get some body contact in there somewhere, it was mostly body shots and stuff. I had no clue, really.

Greg White got a boxer because I said I was getting one. I was talking about getting a boxer since before training camp.

I had a CrossFit trainer for two weeks. I fired him.

I boxed in Golden Gloves at Oxford and still know how to throw a straight left jab.
