There are various psychological advantages you can take into boxing match. One is getting your opponent to fight with emotion and anger because he hates you.
If you're driving home and your kids are playing up in the back seat, I'm pretty sure that's taxing. You're trying to hold your composure, you're trying not to shout at them.
I've earned some decent money, and bragging rights, and boxed on a Floyd Mayweather undercard in Vegas... but it's a fraction of what I set out to do.
It is an individual sport and you don't get many opportunities to overturn dodgy decisions.
You decide whether you want to box on, or not. And for me of course, I wasn't going to be leaving the business until becoming a world champion, and defending it numerous times.
I don't want there to be a time where I'm 'too old' to box on, or where an injury retires me in or out of the ring.
I've always been able to stay calm in high-pressure situations.
Sometimes when you're not getting what you want in this game you have to shout a bit and throw a bit of a tantrum.
