I want my fights to be seen as plays that have a beginning, a middle and an end

We're all endowed with God-given talents. Mine happens to be hitting people in the head.

I want to be great, something special.

Before I fight, I always pray that no one gets hurt.

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

I always expect unexpected challenges.

Boxing's a poor man's sport. We can't afford to play golf or tennis. It is what it is. It's kept so many kids off the street. It kept me off the street.
