I got three whippings a day from my mama.

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.

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.

When at a young age you learn to face your fears, that makes the difference between people being champions and people not being champions.

They don't show Olympic boxing on TV in prime time. They haven't done that since 1988. In 1992, they showed one: Oscar De La Hoya. In 1996, they didn't show it. In 2000, they didn't show it. In 2004, they didn't show it. In 2008, they did not even mention boxing at all. You would think the United States didn't have a boxing team in 2008.

The word of God steadies me. He says your trials and tribulations make you who you are. So you can see my whole story in the way I endured and overcame some testing experiences.

If you quit every time things don't go your way, then you'll be quitting all through your life.
