Boxing is changing and training methods are slowly being dragged into the 21st century.

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

A pit bull is like a fighter. Every so often it needs to taste blood.

If somebody had told me in the 1980s that Gerry Adams would shake hands with Ian Paisley or Peter Robinson I would have said put that man in a white suit and lock him up in a padded cell.

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.

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

I've spent my life navigating through sensitive issues. Not wanting to upset people.
