Being a public servant, this is a serious job, not like a boxer, you're entertaining people.

I remember as a little boy I ate one meal a day and sometimes slept in the street. I will never forget that and it inspires me to fight hard, stay strong and remember all the people of my country, trying to achieve better for themselves.

With experience in boxing, you learn how to be a scientific boxer and how to fight easy.

You train hard and I'll train hard, and may the best man win, and good luck to both of us.

I'm just appreciative of everything that has happened in my life. I'm overwhelmed, sometimes, by this. When I see where I grew up and the places I've been, it puts a smile on my face because of all the people there I can help. I give them food; I give them money; I try to provide them with a good lifestyle, and do the best I can because that's where I came from. Those are my people.

My #1 driving force is my lord and savior Jesus Christ. Also my family, my wife and children.

I have to use my strengths, which [are] my speed, my quickness and my movements. If I do that, I really believe that I will come out on top.
