I lay around and wonder why you were always there for me.

I always expect unexpected challenges.

I found boxing when I was 14 years old. I went down to the gym because my brother, who used to beat me up all the time, introduced me to boxing. I found boxing to be a sport that I felt safe in because I controlled what was in those four squares.

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 consider myself blessed. I consider you blessed. We've all been blessed with God-given talents. Mine just happens to be beating people up.

I've always believed that you can be whatever you want to be if you are willing to sacrifice and dedicate yourself.

When I'm not in training. I'll walk around the streets at 153, but it's not solid; it's my socializing weight.
