I didn't love school because I wanted to disguise that I was poorer than everybody else. So when I was a teen I reached out in a wrong way. I started to be a mugger, to rob people in the streets, just to supply for my needs.

There's never been a great fight without the writers taking on and finding an identity for it. That's probably what has happened boxing.

People trust me. I sell sincerity.
