I want to get out there. I want to show myself.

Belts are immaterial. What's material to me is who have you fought, how many rounds have you fought, how many fights have you fought.

In the martial arts, the guys respect the women fighters.

I am a woman and I don't have the power and the strength of a man, so I have to use my technique and my strategy more than just using brute strength like some of the guys do.

It takes a lot when you are a professional fighter to stay in top condition. You have to sacrifice a lot and I did.

I wanted to get in the ring and be like Muhammad Ali.

Boxing is really hard because you have to be in really good shape to have all those rules and just using your hands.
