The fighting mindset, in the ring, in life.

“The moment I put on the helmet I don’t care if I get carried out,”

“That becomes my mindset. That’s why I hated the amateurs. They’re all running, dodging, slapping and moving around, stand and fight! Real fighting is what I was born to do. Nobody pointed me to this. Boxing was something that chose me.”

“Once you get in the ring there are no lies,”

“If you cut corners, you know the difference. If you don’t want to be there, inside the ring with me, I can see it.”

Every time I get into the ring, I expect the worst. So I come prepared and in the best shape of my life. I expect to do more than survive it. I expect to triumph. The price I have to pay for such victory is not something I think about.
