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.

What I would say about Barney Eastwood is that when our relationship worked, it worked extremely well. He had a lot of strengths as a promoter and a manager.

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

There is nothing like wealth for dulling desire.

Work hard, think fast and you'll last.

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

I'd had 35 professional fights and mentally I was tired of it. I'd sort ot fallen out of love with the sport.
