I was born and raised in a suburb of Paris by a working-class family.

I'll always be a foreigner.

I have an accent, I'm limited, I have to play foreign parts - I would love to play American parts but I can't because I have an accent. You are more limited as a foreigner in every area.

I quit after a bad car accident. The thing about boxing is that you can be a star for five or six years, but when you go back to the old life, it's tough.

I was born and raised in a suburb of Paris by a working-class family.

My father was champion of North Africa and he beat the European champ. He was very good, a professional for 12 years. We're from a big family of boxers. My father has seven brothers.

It's like all the signs were telling me that I shouldn't be a boxer, so I quit.
