Everything I have in this world, I owe to the sport of boxing, and I won't ever forget that.

I wouldn't recommend [boxing] to any child of mine. I would rather he played golf or something.

After doing an honest evaluation of myself, I recognize that there are certain issues that I need to work on. Like everyone, I have my flaws, and I do not want to be one of those people that is afraid to admit and address those flaws.

I'm really happy to be working with CES Boxing, Gary Shaw Productions and Eye of the Tiger Management. It shows the direction in which Golden Boy Promotions is heading - in terms of bringing the best fights to the fans. It shows that Golden Boy Promotions is willing to work with anybody in order to satisfy the boxing fans.

My dad has never once told me after a fight that I did well.

I feel amazing. In my life right now, I have so much motivation. I am so hungry and so determined... I am young, I am healthy and I feel great - 42 is the new 32.

I want to be able to look at myself in the mirror and know I took everyone on.
