Deep down, I reckon the sweetest moment will come when it's finally all over. When, at last, I know that I can stop fighting. Of course it'll also be a little sad. The sweetest moments, y'know, always come with just a little sadness.

Fighters find it hard to give up doing what they do best - fighting for a living.

From what I hear is happening, young Indian boxers have started to do well on the world stage and started to gain the attention of the general audience.

I probably do better not being in politics. They have too much control over you when you are in politics.

I think my whole living in vain involves me. I know that the biggest help for me is to help someone else in so many different ways.

I'm just one woman away, my mother, from being the same as Mike Tyson. I would've ended up like him if my mama had not been so tough and strong. A lot of people, including Mike, don't know I came from the ghetto. They think I'm too nice and proper. But that's the way my mama raised me - to look people in the eye and respect them.

I lost my first fight at the Boys Club at 11 years old and quit the team. My mother told me I had to go back because she didn't raise no quitter. I lost a second fight and quit again and still my mother wouldn't let me. She made me go back and try again.
