I'm in love with boxing. It fell into my lap and I have been in love with it ever since.

I look up to Bernard Hopkins as a fighter. I'm honored to be his co-main event and to be able to give a great performance.

I tell people all the time, nobody wants to be hit. You have to trick a man, to hit a man.

When it comes to boxing I find a way to clear my mind. When it comes to boxing you have to fight. Clear your mind and fight. You can't really think of outside things when you're in the ring.

So far the biggest accomplishment I give myself is getting the silver in the Olympic Trials. Even though it's kind of a defeat. Not too many people make it that far. I do see it as an accomplishment and one of my greatest.

There are certain fighters that if they want to remain relevant they will have to get through me.

There's a lot of great fights to make.
