I always not only want push the envelope in my career but I also have an itch for going against the grain.

The only thing I can do is be right about what I say. Because I know I'm being watched. I understand what I'm facing. All I can do is put the work behind it.

This fight isn't about boxing, it's something deeper than that.

The streets was basically my parents.

I was made to be where I'm at. I just had to go through some challenges, so that I can educate others later.

I want to be the poster child for taking care of yourself after 40. Obesity is an epidemic in this country and I'm a living, breathing example of what it means to stay healthy.

Anybody who thinks I'm taking this fight for a paycheck doesn't know me. My whole life I've been achieving the impossible.
