Self-preservation is an important thing to me.

I'm a boxer who believes that the object of the sport is to hit and not get hit.

I think my grandmother saw my potential first. When I was young, I told her, 'I think I should get a job.' She said, 'No, just keep boxing.'

In the end, you have to protect yourself at all times.

I ain't never nervous. Never nervous.

I always put my boxing first.

I'm a man of my word.
