I have a sense of confidence that I've never had before. I know I've done the work and am twice the fighter today than I was even a year ago. |
I would fight anywhere I could. It certainly wasn't always under the best conditions, but it gave me the desire to move on in the sport. |
That was my amateur background. I fought about 55 fights and took a year off before deciding I wanted to try and make a living at boxing. |
That's a part of my past that doesn't really bother me. I didn't do anything wrong. |
When I decided to give boxing all my focus, this is the reason I did it. I'm more ready for this than anything I've done in my life. Anybody can spend their entire career in the shallow end of the pool but I decided I want to get in the deep end. |
