I've spent my life navigating through sensitive issues. Not wanting to upset people.
There is nothing like wealth for dulling desire.
I don't want to sound obnoxious, but I like to think I brought it another step. I was able to bring people who were casually interested in boxing together.
I'd had 35 professional fights and mentally I was tired of it. I'd sort ot fallen out of love with the sport.
The trouble with boxing is that too often it ends in sadness.
Every fighter has a story that could break your heart. We lose, we get hurt and everything comes apart. That's when it's so difficult to stay on the straight and narrow.
