When I'm not in training. I'll walk around the streets at 153, but it's not solid; it's my socializing weight.
I was just such a quiet kid. 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.
They say that I'm stubborn, and my wife says that, too, but it's paid off so far.
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.
When the trainer talks to the fighter, there's a connection. You don't always have to say much.
Boxing is a sport, but it's also entertainment. I wanted to transcend the sport and be considered just not as a fighter, or a champion, but someone very special.
I remember all the important fights. Vividly. In detail.
