My toughest fight was myself. For me to disclose and let things out was not easy because we don't want to seem weak or like we are different, but I learned that it's okay.

Boxing is the ultimate challenge. There's nothing that can compare to testing yourself the way you do every time you step in the ring.

Ali's belief in himself was something I picked up on, and it's become my own philosophy

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

Inactivity is the biggest sin in boxing.

No one but myself thought I could beat guys like Tommy Hearns or Roberto Duran

I'm not religious, but I believe that what I have is a gift, and I respect it and live up to it.
