Work hard, think fast and you'll last.

I train very hard, either rowing on the cross trainer or running. Not only do you feel tired afterwards but it relaxes you, it completely clears the head. But to sort things out I also like to walk.

The trouble with boxing is that too often it ends in sadness.

There is nothing like wealth for dulling desire.

I wanted to bring people together, and most importantly not feel threatened when they came to watch me box.

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.
