I'm so opposite of my profession. No one - particularly my mother and father - ever thought I was going to be a boxer because I always felt that football and baseball were too dangerous. I was just such a quiet kid.

I'll think, If this is his first punch, how are the others gonna feel? That's the only fear I have for myself

I've always been quiet and kind of shy. I'm sociable, but I would probably migrate to a corner.

People can do more than they ever believe they can do. Physically, mentally, academically. You have to be pushed. It hurts. But it's worth it, and it's a great thing.

My ambition is not to be just a good fighter. I want to be great, something special.

I wouldnt change anything because the mistakes and the hurt are as important as all the great fights. They made me who I am today.

I enjoyed [Celebrity Ghost Stories]. I never thought in a million years that I would tell people that I saw a ghost. And I've seen a lot of ghosts.
