I'm not in favor of that [mandating protective headgear ] because we learn as amateurs how to protect ourselves. And that's why there's a third man in the ring, the referee. And that's why there has to be a very strong boxing commission that doesn't allow guys in the ring who don't belong there.

Were all given some sort of skill in life. Mine just happens to be beating up on people.

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.

It's hard to talk about yourself.

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.

Generally, the more weight you put on, the less effective you are.

Although it was a great accomplishment to win a gold medal, as soon as they put it on you, that's it; your career is over.
