Well, you've got certain obstacles that get in your way throughout your career, but you have to be a strong individual.

I basically raised myself.

I loved competing and winning and also wanted to continue my career for the fans, knowing they were there for me and enjoyed watching me fight.

When they put me on ESPN and they talk about negative things, or when they put me on TMZ and they talk about negative things, I'm just glad that I'm relevant; to have lasted this long being relevant.

I don't fold under pressure, great athletes perform better under pressure, so put pressure on me.

It's about having personality...it's not about being the bad guy, it's about entertaining people.

Boxing won’t retire me, I will retire from boxing.
